Our Troop summer camp at Oscar-Jenny Lake is in the books! 🌲 From hiking the Ice Age Trail to stargazing on the dock, merit badge work around the campfire to napping in the hammock, 2026 was one for the memories. What's your favorite summer camp tradition?

Reminder that there is no meeting tonight! But if your Scout is available, the library is looking for help at 6pm at Webb Park for their Color Run.

Any kids need a new helmet? Sounds like you can pick up a new one at the Reedsburg Ambulance garage! Check it out🚲🛴🛹🛼

🚲 Good news! We have more bike helmets! 🪖

Thanks to another generous donation, we've received another supply of bike helmets to give away to kids in our community!

The last time we did this, the response was incredible—and we unfortunately ran out, leaving some families empty-handed. If you were one of those families, or if you're just seeing this opportunity for the first time, we'd love to help!

Stop by the Reedsburg Ambulance station during our normal business hours to pick up a helmet. Helmets are available while supplies last and are sized to help ensure the best fit.

Let's work together to keep our young riders safe this summer! 🚴💙

What a great Crossover & Rank Graduation!! Busy weekend with lots of other commitments, so unfortunately, not everyone was able to attend, and some could only come for a portion, but we still had a great time! Although it rained overnight both nights, we were all tucked in our tents by that time & the days were lovely. We set up a hammock village & even ventured into the lake (water is still really cold in WI in May 🥶) & explored a bit. Guys got a lot of rank requirements checked off and the food was some of the best I’ve had in a campout. Breakfast tacos & spaghetti with garlic bread will stay on our 👍🏻 menu!
Congrats to all the Cub Scouts that graduated to the next rank, Boy Scouts that received merit badges or rank badges, but especially to Ian who crossed from Pack 247 to Troop 247!

Last weekend's backpacking trip was a success! We started at Roznos Meadows, took the Ice Age trail across the ferry (ice cream break, naturally!). Spent the night at the dispersed camping area. Sunday's adventure took us to Gibraltar Rock where we ended at the trailhead. Great first backpacking trip for the gang!

Check out TheSaraP’s video.

🌭Hello families: Just a reminder to check your schedules to see if you can help out at the Reedsburg Area United Fund's Brat Bash & Dash. They are a HUGE supporter of not only us, but many other non-profits in the area, so this is our chance to say "Thank You" by volunteering our time! I've included the Sign-Up Genius below. Scouts are encouraged to volunteer, but they need to have a parent volunteering as well. We leave for our weekend campout at 6pm that night so keep that in mind when signing kiddos up! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Dz2JwCGHW/
