🏕️ Help Our Scouts Get to South Dakota!

Our Troop is raising money for an incredible outdoor adventure in South Dakota! We’ll hike and camp in the Badlands and Black Hills, and explore Custer State Park.

We’ll also visit Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial to experience some of the region’s most important landmarks.

This trip is about more than adventure—it’s about teamwork, leadership, learning and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

💚 Every donation helps get our Scouts one step closer to South Dakota! Thank you for supporting our troop! 🥾⛺️🇺🇸

If paying by Venmo please include your phone number and email address and we will send you your ball numbers!

If there is a scout that should get credit for your sale please let us know.
