Troops 323 & 3323 Phoenix Arizona
Our scouts paddled canoes several miles to their campsite for this September 2023 outing up on the Mogollon Rim. Then they set up camp, swam, paddled some more, cooked dinner, and went to sleep. The outing required much advance planning and we had to borrow the canoes and learn how to use waterproof bags. Afterward, we paddled back across the reservoir, and returned home.
Our scouts hiked several miles into Fossil Creek Canyon in October 2023. They hiked two miles down before setting up camp, swimming in the creek, and cooking dinner for the night. The next day, they packed up their bags and returned home.
Every Scout who attended summer camp this year had an amazing Summer Camp Experience. This year we occupied campsites 18 & 19. The new scouts participated in brown sea island, providing them with all the skills tehy will need for their future scouting. Older scouts got to participate in merit badge classes. As a troop, Scouts took hikes, participated in the polar bear plunge, and went to the trading post. I think we can all agree we appreciated how much better the food was this year. Both troops won Big G Gold this year!!!
On May 20-21 troops 323 & 332 took their last outing of the year at West Clear Creek. Luckily the water levels were not too high, so the trip was not canceled. The trail has many water crossings, and the campsite had watering hole to swim in.
On April 9th, troops 323 and 3323 went up to Heard Scout Pueblo for a service project. Scouts were repairing the tents that are used at Geronimo during the summer. This service project is one of the requirements to earn Big G Gold this year at summer Camp.
