BSA Troop 88 - Reno

10/04/2026

Happy Saturday Scouts (and parents) Today was a fabulous day. The Nevada Area Council created an event called The Adventure Hike. With the help of Zander, Holdyn, Brendan, Steven, Maureen, Shawn, James and of course the ever resourceful Danny *Pockets*, all from Troop 88, We arrived at 9 AM and after a complete set up, we served bbq hotdogs and brats to over 400 attendees. Troop 88 showed up and represented in the best way. There were other troops as well but ours really nailed it. Way to go to all those scouting helping hands.

A huge shout out to Scout Leader Brian and his willingness, resourcefullness and expertise in organizing a fun night out for any scouts that wanted to get either a first time experience or continued with archery. Brian located an indoor archery range and approximately 15 scouts (and a few adults) participated in beginner level archery skills. The staff were all fantastic and took their time teaching first and foremost safety, then went into beginner skills. All of the scouts did an amazing job and after two hours of: set the arrow, draw the string, touch your cheek, dont shoot the sky, ask for help, oh and dont walk in front of those that might still be shooting, I am sure their arms are mighty sore. This was a fantastic way for introductory archery and it is a great way to start working on that particular merit badge.

Scouts Helping Scouts

The Hawk Fire has deeply affected Scout Troop 88. Our troop lost its camp trailer, all of its gear, and cherished memorabilia. The fire also claimed the home of our Scoutmaster and the home of a fellow Scout’s family.

Even in the face of this adversity, Troop 88 remains strong — thanks in large part to the tremendous support of our community. Our community means everything to us. In times like these, that support is not only appreciated, it is essential. We are a tight-knit, family-forward troop, and we are committed to not allowing difficult circumstances to define who we are.

We invite you to join us for a Spaghetti Fundraiser. All proceeds will go directly toward helping rebuild our troop.

Friday, September 25
5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
St. Albert the Great School Gym
Parking lot entrance: 1250 Wyoming Ave., Reno

We are grateful to Great Basin Brewing Co. for generously donating the food, and to everyone who continues to stand with Troop 88. Your presence, generosity, and encouragement remind us why community is at the heart of Scouting.

Luke Opperman, his wife, and their two daughters have given countless hours to the Scouts and families of Troop 88 in Lemmon Valley. Their longtime family home was destroyed in the Hawk Fire. Now our community is coming together to help them recover and rebuild.
