We are a Boy Scout troop, so obviously, we are going to camp. We try to plan a weekend outing at least once every couple of months. These outings are usually associated with a specific scouting theme; whether it's completing a certain merit badge or concentrating on getting the younger guys through their next rank. Whatever we do, we always make it fun. Once in awhile, that's all we'll do; just kick back and have a fun, easy weekend without much planned at all. In our troop, it's mostly up to the boys. And of course, with Scouting, the possibilities are endless.

Every summer, along with spending a week at camp, we plan a longer trip of
about a week or two. Some of our past trips have been canoeing on the
Manistee River or in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota. The past couple of years, our Venturing Crew went to Indonesia to help revive the ideals of scouting in that country. While we were there, we also did some high adventure activities. We hiked a couple of mountains, went scuba diving, and whitewater rafted. Along with camping, hiking, canoeing, etc., we are also
on a mission to reach out to youth and instill in them the core values of scouting. Being a Christian-based organization based out of a Christian church, we strive to set a Godly example in order to help others grow
and to develop a walk with the Lord.
