Monthly Outings

Troop 261 has a year-round outings program, with an overnight outing every month planned by the Scouts themselves. See the calendar for a taste of the program planned by the Patrol Leaders' Council and the patrols. Because of our active camping program, we offer Scouts the opportunity to participate in seasonal sports without their feeling left out of the Scouting program.

The Troop outings program is designed to provide the Scouts with fun, new skills, and advancement. In addition to meeting requirements for advancing in rank, outings provide opportunities for earning merit badges, including Camping, Cooking, Orienteering, and many others. For the older Scouts, Troop 261 offers a high adventure program, with different locations and activities each year.

Summer Camp

Summer Camp is the ideal place for new Scouts to begin working on advancement and merit badges, and it is a good place for more experienced Scouts to earn some of the merit badges required for Eagle. It is also, of course, a great place to have fun. Troop 261 goes to Summer Camp each year, rotating locations once every couple of years.
