It was a cold and windy night hike, but we were delighted to take the back trail on the backside of Green Mountain. Memorable views and camaraderie as usual… and sugar cookies with hot chocolate!

Our annual Scouting for Food drive started this weekend. Scouting for Food is a project rooted in the very foundation of the Scouting movement and its dedication to do a good turn daily. We will collect hundreds of pounds of donations from our community and deliver to our local food rescue/pantry, Joy’s Kitchen, for distribution.

We usually make it to Glenwood every year. This year, we went late in September and re-discovered a nice riverside campsite and had some fun in the hot springs pool!

We had a wonderful weekend hosting Pack 548 Webelos as they get ready for cross over. We worked on fishing, canoeing, axe skills, fire skills, orienteering, and first aid. As always, Camp Tahosa was a beautiful venue.

We did it! Our 12 day trek was an amazing success, and the Scouts were able to overcome many challenges along the way. It was an adventure of of a lifetime for all. Well done Crew 608-S!

The troop revisited one of our favorite hiking spots way back in the Lost Creek Wilderness. This was an overnight backpacking trip that put all of our Shakedown prep to work with full equipment, food & meal prep, and water sanitization.

Our 2nd Philmont Shakedown happened after the late snow. With all of the downed branches and trees, this gave us some trail maintenance opportunities!

We celebrated our latest Eagle Scout Rank on Sunday. Congratulations and well done, Evan!

Sixteen miles, 1000 feet climb, full packs. That’s a proper Philmont shakedown hike! No sheep (or Scouts) were harmed.

Thanks to some dedicated Scouters, the annual Klondike event hosted hundreds of cold weather Scouts and put together a great series of events capped by the traditional sled race! The camp was located in Golden Gate State Park on a beautiful February weekend.
