Our May outing was a backpacking trip to West Clear Creek.
This historically is a trip used as a beginner backpacking trip however, due to the lack of new scouts, we hiked in and out quickly both days. Most of our time was spent at camp, playing in the water. There is a large red rock that provides a platform about seven feet above the water we jumped from. Our time in camp was very enjoyable, and the weather was perfict.
We would like to thank Mr. Marcon for leading the outing, and to all of the adults present. Also, another shoutout to Beezer who was the SPL for this outing.

Broc Baney, Houston Hull, Trevor Ceranski, Arjun Phull, Suraj Phull, Ian Marcon, Haydon Evenson
Webster’s dictionary describes an eagle as a large bird of prey with sharp vision and powerful wings, famous for their strength, size, grace, and keen vision. It is the national emblem for the United States. Though the eagle is found throughout the world, it is never found in abundance; it is always rare and it is always a superb specimen.
In Scouting the eagle stands for strength of character, and for knowledge of all phases of Scouting. The eagle represents an understanding of community and nation, and a deep respect for same. The eagle is a symbol of what a young man has done as well as what that young man will do, and will be, when he grows to manhood. The eagle is a leader. The eagle is respected, both by his peers and by his adult leaders.
The EAGLE SCOUT AWARD is the highest award available to youth members of the Boy Scouts of America. It is a recognition by the National Court of Honor, presented through the local council and a local court of honor.
It represents many years of dedicated effort , and the successful completion of a long process which started when the young man became a Boy Scout. It is a demonstration of how people, working together, can truly help mold a young man with a solid sense of leadership, citizenship, and responsibility.
Not every boy, nor every Scout, qualifies for the high rank of Eagle.
The attainment of the Eagle Scout Rank is indeed the highest honor that a Scout may achieve.

The weekend of April 23, our troop went on our first backpacking trip of 2022. We hiked roughly 4 miles, through very overgrown and washed out land. On the hike in we lost the trail, ALOT! But the way back was easier. We had 20 scouts on this trip! We would like to thank all the adults who came on this outing, and just congratulate everyone for completing this vigorous hike.

R-C family camp.
The Troops met at lookout mountain at 8:00 in the morning, and got to
R-C ( pronounced R BAR C) around 11:00 am. When we got there, we unpacked and had lunch that was made by the cub scouts. After lunch, we hiked to a nearby creek and enjoyed the view for a bit before heading back down to camp. When we arrived at camp, the scouts set up stations to teach the cub scout pack important skills. Each station was set up and taught by a patrol leader and their scouts. The stations consisted of soap carving, fire starting, orienteering, and rocket making/ launching. Each station was 20 minutes long, and the cub scouts rotated through them. The cub scouts enjoyed each of the stations while learning many important things they need to know to be successful scouts. After the lessons, there was free time and then dinner. The theme for dinner was Italian, so we had spaghetti with meatballs and garlic bread. After enjoying the dinner and desert (peach cobbler), we ended the night with a campfire filled with skits and laughs, and a flag retirement ceremony. Lights out was around 10 o’ clock. We got up at 7 and began to pack up. Around 8 ish, we had breakfast burritos and pancakes. After finishing packing up and picking up trash around 11:30, we headed home and arrived at lookout mountain at 1:30. Overall, this was a nice and easy campout that was beginner friendly. This outing had 15 Cub Scouts and

On the morning of Mar. 26th our troop held this year’s Spring Church Cleanup at All Saints Lutheran Church. We had 17 people who came to help. We did many small housekeeping jobs, alongside some other larger jobs, like power washing the church courtyard. We cleaned the concrete floor, the path to the reflection point, cleaned the playground and windows, and moved all the tables to the correct rooms
The Troop would like to thank CJ Corso for organizing and running the event. Also, all the adults who helped, including Ms. Newell, Ms. Corso, and Mr. Geer. Our final thanks are to all the scouts who showed up to help clean the church.
