We have 2021 Dog Sled Trek Scout and Scouter positions open and would like to give our troop time to think about it before reaching out to other troops. If you want to learn more about this exciting opportunity, talk to Rogge, Randy or any of the boys that attended this year. They will all tell you it was an amazing experience and with the equipment/training – you aren’t really “that cold.”  Learn more.

My Eagle project is about one month out. Right now, I am starting to raise funds to buy all of the materials for the project. I will be building four gardening boxes in the shape of a train for Arapaho United Methodist Church. Any extra funds will go directly to the church. I would like all of the donations by March 21 so I can buy and start working soon after. The support would mean that service to the community and a project I have been hard at work with can finally happen. ANY donations would be greatly appreciated.

Stephen Phillips is starting his Eagle Project Sign up HERE for Saturday March 7th and Sunday March 8th at Dallas Bible Church located near Hillcrest and Arapaho. The goal of the project it to install a brick paver stone walk way and paint a patio set for the Church. Scouts will be digging and painting, and may have the opportunity to drive a Kabota tractor. This will be a great project for service hours.

We have two openings for Scouts to attend the 2021 Dog Sledding High Adventure in Ely, Minn. Please register before 6 p.m. Monday, March 9. After that date, we will reach out to other troops to fill the spots.
