Welcome To Troop 736's News

Posted September 3, 2007

This summer was a busy one for Troop 736. We had more than 60 boys from the Troop attend one or more camps this summer. In June, we attended camp at Quivira Scout Ranch. We had a great week that included an outpost camp one night where the Scouts canoed across the lake and spent the night. The gateway to our campsite was outstanding. Our older Scouts spent the afternoons teaching our younger Scouts scout skills required for advancement to Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class. And, at the closing campfire, our Troop was presented with the Best in Camp and Best Camp Gadgets Awards for 2007. A small contingency traveled to QSR the first week in July – when the camp became accessible again after the flood – and had a great week as well. Lots of merit badges and rank advancements have been awarded to our Scouts as a result. In July, we had a group attend a week of camp at Camp Alexander in Colorado where they completed more merit badge work. Another group went backpacking through the Packard High Adventure Base in Colorado. Their trek included hiking to the summit of several 14ers, and they earned the 50-Miler Award along the way. In addition, we had two crews go to Philmont and spend two weeks in the backcountry. Everyone came home safe and sound, and a great time was had by all.
