Scouts and Scouters,
This Sunday is Scout Sunday. Please make plans to attend the 11am service at St Stephen. Please arrive at 10:30 so that we can gather and process. This is a special event for our troop and attendance is required. Please invite your parents and siblings to join us.
We have a number of exciting high adventure events in store.
Worth Ranch summer camp is coming the week of June 11th through June 17th. Its a great time to spend the week at with aquatics, snow sports, shooting sports, nature ecology, scoutcraft and handicrafts and the most fun way to earn merit badges. The cost is $350. Please sign up on the troop website.
We will send a crew to Philmont in the summer of 2024, arriving June 27th and returning on July 9th. This is an opportunity to experience backpacking in the Rocky Mountains of Northern New Mexico. The cost is $1575. Please sign up on the troop website. We only have 10 spots available for scouts.
We will also travel to the Florida Sea Base in the summer of 2024, arriving July 28th and returning August 2nd. Experience the Florida Keys while we live and sail on a 40 foot sailboat. Total cost of the trip including airfare is approx. $1600-$1800, depending on airfare and ground transportation costs and fundraising offsets. We have reserved 3 40 sailboats on the Coral Reef Sailing itinerary. Each boat can have up to 8 participants, minimum 2 of those will be T17 registered adults. $150 deposit per person due by 02/24/2023 to confirm our reservations. Please register soon.
The troop will raise funds for these trips through a variety of means.
