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!

🌭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/

Spent a beautiful night cleaning up around town. Found some cool stuff (car parts, big boards) which always makes it a little bit like a scavenger hunt😉. Thanks to everyone who participated!

🌍💖 Happy Earth Day!
Today, we honor the incredible planet we call home - and as Scouts, we don't just enjoy the outdoors, we protect it.
Enjoy a few throwbacks of previous clean-up days. Even added a few conservation activities that we did while we were out on some of our adventures.
👉Tuesday, April 28th we'll be meeting at the Reedsburg Community Market (Webb & Main) for this year's activity!
