Ski Brule - 1-11-14

Boy Scout & Family Day At Ski Brule

Scouts and their families took an adventure trip to Ski Brule for a fun day of skiing.  The Scouts were able to earn a merit badge and learned the techniques of skiing from skiing instructors.  The weather was good and there were fun times for all.  This was an all day event that included the lessons, rentals, lift tickets, and lunch.

Bear Lake Campout September 27-29

Picture-perfect early fall weather greeted the scouts at our campout at Bear Lake, just northeast of Wabeno.

The patrols made good use of the empty hike-in sites on the peninsula, setting up camp and securing ample room for games of capture the flag as well. The weekend featured fishing, food, and fun. Despite some windy weather, canoes were on the water, including for the epic Great Canoe Relay. In the Scout competition, it was the Falcons besting the Rangers/Scorpions/Cobras. In the Scout-Adult rubber match, the Scorpions/Cobras edged out the team of SPL+ASM. Although fishing was slow with the wind, the Moonlight Crawfish Hunt yielded a steady supply.

See you at the next campout!

Back from the Porkies

The backpacking crew has returned safe and sound from the Porcupine Mountains. We spent several great days exploring this wild and untamed place, trekking on challenging and hilly terrain and setting up camp in some of the remote and scenic campsites throughout the wilderness. 

Backpacking Crew and Hiking MB Outing

A perfect summer day and the wild woods of Bairds Creek awaited hikers from Troop 1468 on Sunday, August 18. Ten miles covered on winding and hilly trails, and a great trail lunch eaten. The menu included "Mud," "Rodman Dam Hydro Sludge," "Sunny Daze Rice," and some homemade, home-dehydrated spaghetti. The crew also discovered that they do not like Spam (sorry Mr. Bettis!)

Next stop...The Porcupine Mountains!

Sylvania 2013

The scouts and their parents had their yearly adventure to Sylvania in July.  There were a lot of fish caught, cooked and eaten.  The weather was cool and damp, but didn't dampen everyone's spirits.  A scout is prepared!!!!
