Camping on Sunday is not a requirement for our Troop, however we return home from most of our campouts on Sunday morning/afternoon.
We understand some families have committments on Sundays that conflict with this schedule. In such cases, parents are more then welcome to pick-up their Scout from camp Saturday afternoon/evening or choose to skip the campout all together.
Our reasoning for this is to provide the Scouts with the best possible experience. Allowing Scouts to spend an extra evening together not only provides more nights under the stars away from the distractions of the world, but also allows them to bond more as troop mates and friends.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please reach out to Mr. Nielsen.
It is an award Scouts can earn that grants them the right to carry and use woods tools. The Scout must show their Scout leader, or someone designated by their leader, that the Scout understands their responsibility. The Scout’s “Totin’ Rights” can be taken away if they fail in their responsibility.
It is an award Scouts can earn that grants them the right to carry matches and build campfires. Scouts must show their Scout leader, or someone designated by their leader, that they understand their responsibility. The Scout’s “Firem’n Rights” can be taken away if they fail in their responsibility.
