Summer Camp TShirt Design Contest

Posted on Apr 7 2026 - 7:44am

It’s that time of year again—time to create our summer camp t-shirt, and we want YOU to design it!

This year is extra special as we celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday, so your design should capture that spirit in a fun and creative way. The winning design will be printed in white on our green moisture-wicking shirts—so think bold, clean, and eye-catching!

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Keep it general—don’t make it specific to either camp we’re attending

  • Make sure all imagery is Scout-appropriate

  • Simpler is better—too much ink can affect the shirt’s moisture-wicking performance

Email your designs to Ms. Hubbard, Mr. Foley, and our SPL, Brenton, for review.

What’s in it for you?
The winning designer gets a FREE shirt and the bragging rights of being this year’s official summer camp t-shirt designer!

Deadline: April 24th
Winner announced: April 27th troop meeting

We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Backpacking Meeting 3/23

Posted on Mar 20 2026 - 7:04pm
Here are some details regarding the backpacking meeting on 3/23.
 
During this meeting, we will be learning how to use a compass and map to find your way in the woods. We will also be learning about how to pack a backpack and what items people need to thrive on a backpacking trip. 
 
We ask all scouts to bring a backpack, packed with what they believe they would need for an overnight camping trip (minus a tent). These are useful skills that scouts will need to be successful during our backpacking campout in April.

2026 Summer Camp Options

Posted on Feb 25 2026 - 7:34am

Summer camp builds confidence, independence, friendships, and outdoor skills. Troop leadership believes camp should be a place for Scouts to explore the outdoors and try activities they may not have access to at home. Rather than focusing on completing large numbers of Eagle-required merit badges (which can be earned locally throughout the year), Scouts are encouraged to take advantage of the unique experiences, facilities, and opportunities available at camp.

The information below is intended to help your family decide which option works best for your Scout. Scouts may attend either or both camps, as each offers a different experience and strong opportunities for growth and fun.
