We are having our annual Pioneering Base Camp at Seven Springs Campground east of Carefree. The Scouts will be building a Monkey Bridge and a Trebuchet to launch their favorite large Fruit. The adults will bring ingredients for the Scouts to make foil dinners in the Campfire coals. We also plan to demonstrate cooking a whole chicken using hot rocks. Patrols should plan on having skits or other appropriate entertainment ready for Saturday night's campfire.

Oak Flat Eastern Superstition Mountains November 18th to 20th

This will be a 3-mile Backpack into the Eastern Superstition Mountains.  We will be camping at approximately 3,600 feet of elevation in a pinion / oak area. There is plenty of water in the area and a great place to explore. One of the things we are concentrating on this campout is cooking. We are encouraging the scouts to find interesting, inexpensive and lite weight food at the supermarket. Patrols will be responsible for two lunches and two breakfasts. The adults will be cooking dinner for the whole troop, using hot rocks and coals to make a chicken and fixings dinner. Oak Flat is a great area for Scouting games and Patrol competitions, we also are planning to work on Rank advancement. This is a good backpack for first timers.  

We will spare everyone from needing to make a choice on whether to celebrate Halloween or go to a Troop Meeting on Monday, October 31.  Celebrate Halloween!  No Meeting 10/31!

Then come on back on Monday November 7 for elections of SPL, ASPL, and Patrol Leaders.  After that other positions will be appointed so that those needing positions for rank advancement to Star, Life, and Eagle can get a position.  Be sure to be in Class A!

Look for an announcement afterwards for when Leadership Training will be held.

Come volunteer at the Episcopal Church of St. John the Baptist, our home church. We will be helping to set up and hand out food as people walk through. This will be a great opportunity to receive service hours.  It runs every first Saturday of the month from 7AM to 11AM.  You can sign up over on the right side of the website.
