It’s time to think “outside” – no box required – with our upcoming hike to the Indiana Dunes and 2018 activities. Whether you are new to our troop/crew or a veteran, we welcome you to our extended scouting family. By the end of March, we will have 11 new scouts in our Troop and a growing group of enthusiastic teens in our Venturing Program.
Since 1980, we’ve been putting the “outing” in scouting: You may find yourself enjoying a weekend adventure to Lake Bloomington, the Farm near Heyworth or Moraine View State Park in Ellsworth. Most will have a calling to backpack along the shores of Lake Superior and then attend our week-long summer experience at Canyon Camp near Galena, Illinois. Or, perhaps you have another calling to build your scout skills over the next few years and then sail/SCUBA dive the Bahamas at Sea Base, hike the glistening peaks of Philmont, New Mexico, canoe the wild rivers of Maine, kayak the fiords of Alaska, or backpack the North Country Trail.
Bottom line, if you enjoy the outdoors . . . we’re for you. Welcome aboard and let’s get “outside.” On and EVER upward!
