Scouts are asking friends, neighbors and relatives for canned food during the previous 2 weeks. On Saturday, April 1st, we will be loading bins and helping to transport the collected goods to a local food bank. This is a 2 hour service project to the council and community.

Patrol Schedule for the day:
Early – 11:00pm – 3:30pm – Bison patrol, Beaver patrol, and Hawk patrol
Late – 3:00pm to 7:00pm – Eagle patrol, and Falcon patrol
We will camp on base and hike the Wright Memorial Trail in the morning. That afternoon the Scouts will tour the museum. This is a special trip we only do once every few years, so don't miss out!
IMPORTANT: We need you to sign up and pay for this trip by March 6th, the same night you register for the March campout. The Air Force needs more notice than most places and we have to turn in money early.
CHANGE FROM NORMAL: We will leave at 5:00 pm instead of 6:00 pm on Friday as it is a 5-hour drive. We have 1 planned rest stop going down (gas and facilities), and one returning on Sunday (lunch). We expect to be back and available for pick up around 4 pm on Sunday after hanging tents and securing equipment back in the building.
Scouts can bring money for Souvenirs.
Saturday Morning we will be hiking the Wright Patterson Historic Trail. There is a Patch and Medal to be earned!
In the Afternoon, we'll be touring the Museum.
When driving enter at Gate 12A. Once on base, getting to camp can be quite convoluted so use the following link:
Google map: Gate 12A to Scout Camp Cell phones will not work well if trying to contact other leaders once on base.
Canoeing down the Clarion River and a hike up to the fire tower. Nice way to spend a Saturday!
We will meet at 9:00 Saturday morning to place flags and flowers on the veterans' graves. Make sure you are in uniform for this two-hour service project.

National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide all youth members of the Boy Scouts of America with the leadership skills and experience they can use in their Troop or Crew.
NYLT is a six-day, co-educational course. Content is delivered in a group and patrol outdoor setting with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. Interconnecting concepts and work process are introduced early, built upon, and aided by the use of memory aids, which allows participants to understand and employ their leadership skills much faster.
The purpose of the NYLT course is not to assume the Scoutmaster’s or Crew Advisor’s role of training Youth Leaders, but to support it.
Scouts will camp as normal with their patrols. There will be canoeing, swimming, volleyball, and other games and activities throughout the weekend as well as a flag retirement ceremony.
Parents and family members will camp and eat with the adults. We will provide all the meals. You will want to have camp chairs, bug spray, and your own tent. If you need to borrow a tent, let us know. We do have a few we can loan out.
If you do not wish to camp, you can come out for the day, or just for supper, whatever you prefer. Scouts can attend regardless of parent schedules. We do need everyone to sign up and pay no later that the Monday before for meal planning purposes.

This week-long adventure in the Canadian Wilderness is designed for Scouts who are First Class and above with Canoeing Merit Badge. Scouts will paddle from lake to lake through the interior of Algonquin Provincial Park carrying all their gear, food, and canoes across portages on this awesome adventure. They will return to the group camp area and meet up with the rest of the troop and hopefully stay for a second week in base camp.
