Our first base camp of the season will be up near Clint’s Well   in the area of Pivot Rock Spring.

The Troop has camped here in the past and had a great time exploring the pine forested area.

Our goal is to do many rank advancement activities including as five mile hike, with orienteering and GPS exercises. In the past the scouts have enjoyed spelunking in the Pivot rock lava tube (adults too)

(Masks and disposable gloves will be worn in the cave and hands sanitized after)

Please don’t miss this outing, it will be a busy and fun weekend!

Scouts who will be at least 14 years of age by summer 2021 should consider our planned high adventure trip to Philmont Scout Ranch in July 2021. Mr. Oless is putting together 1 crews (6-10 scouts/2-4 adults per crew) for this adventure in July 7, 2021 to July 20, 2021 at the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. Costs will be around $1200 per person plus travel fees and required gear. [Scholarship requests accepted for those in need - see Mrs. Buchanan].

For more information about Philmont, visit https://www.philmontscoutranch.org/.

Sign-up under Event Registration on the Right hand column on the home page.  

The Waite Phillips Scholarship is limited to $375.00 and only one scholarship is available for each crew. Mr. Oless will be applying for this scholarship for each crew to decrease overall cost to the Crew.

Our Troop meetings will begin on October 19 at Congregational Church of Sun City at 7PM. Please wear your masks and maintain physical distancing when possible. Our troop will disinfect before and after each meeting. 

Parents, we ask that you sit in the back of the room or elect to drop off and return to pick up your scout. 

address: 

The Congregational Church of Sun City

18401 N. 99th Ave., Sun City, AZ 85373

The NEXT Court of Honor will take place in person as a Troop. We will celebrate the merit badges earned at camp and individually and rank advancements. We will take care to follow current CDC guidelines which will be updated as the time nears. Scouts will sit with their family. Bring chairs. Boys will be asked to come up, retrieve their envelopes which will be sealed prior. For Rank Advancement - parents will join their scout one at a time in the front. 

New BSA Medical Forms were introduced in late 2019.  You can find them attached below and also in the Files section of our website.

Note that these are fillable PDFs that allow you to type in most of the info and then print them and sign them,  You can also print out the blank form and fill it all out by hand.

Please start using this form from here on.  If you use an older form in 2020, it will be honored only until 12/31/2020.

The 680001_AB.pdf form has Parts A and B, which the Troop needs for every youth and adult for outings of 72 hours or less.Note that a photocopy of any insurance cards should be attached.

The 680001_ABC.pdf form has Parts A, B and C.  This form can cover both the 72 hours outings and any lomger outing, such as Summer Camps, NYLT, Philmont, Florida Sea Base, etc.  A photocopy of insurance forms is also needed for this form.  Part C must be signed by a Physician, Nurse Practioner (NP), or Physician's Assistant (PA).  While the Part C page is a fillable form, it's very likely that you will give the form to the Physician or NP or PA and they will do their parts by hand, and most importantly sign it.

Mrs. Buchanan will maintain the forms until (and if) a new medical form keeper is identified.  We would like everyone to turn in a new form (at least Parts A and B) starting immediately, and hold on to Part C if you can't get the physical right away.  Part C will of course be part of getting ready for any of the long term camps that are coming up.  What we want to avoid is any last minute problem on a weekend outing with youth or adults having their old forms expire, so getting new ones from everybody in January really helps.

We also strongly recommend that you give us a copy of your originals rather than trust us to have the only copy.  Stuff happens!
