This month’s campout is the Fall Camporee put on by our own Pioneer Trails District.  Events will be centered on Emergency Preparedness, First Aid, Safety, Emergency Communications, The 4 Historical Merit Badges, and the 100th Anniversary of Scouting.  You will have the opportunity to work towards the completion of the Signaling, Tracking, Path Finding, or Carpentry Merit Badges.  There will also be competitive events such as search and rescue, stretcher race, zip line, camp inspection, and others.  This should be a great time for all and a wonderful chance to learn something and have fun!

img-1576smThe sign-up page for the September Pioneering Campout on the 17th-19th is now active! 

We will be building bridges, towers, and maybe even catapults at this annual campout, back by popular demand.  This will be a great opportunity to work on your pioneering skills at Tahosa High Adventure Base. 

This is a particularly good campout for Webelos to attend.  We will be making a special effort to get Webelos and their families involved in the weekend’s events.  They will get their hands dirty and may even learn a knot or lashing in the process.

Please reach out to your Webelos friends and other Packs and encourage them to attend this Troop 16 event.  Webelos should contact either Mrs. Veto or Mr. Kjar for more information.
