Sportsplex Lock-in

What a night!

Troop 1 hosted a very successful Sportsplex Lock-in. Over 250 scouts and 40 adult leaders had a great time bowling, swimming, ice skating playing games and winning door prizes.

Special thanks to all the adult leaders from other Troops who pitched in to help us get through the night.

The final report was that no piazzas, chips, or dough nuts survived the event.

If you have pictures, please email them to Troop 1.

Klondike Derby Belated Update

Congratulations to the Troop 1 Klondike derby patrol. A good time was had by all despite the temperature was below 10 degrees all day.

The patrol was six points shy of winning the derby and getting the privilege of hosting the event in 2007.

Pack 1 and Pack Webelos also had good showings. The fearless Oak Tree acted as the Pack 1 guide for the derby.

If anyone has pictures, email them to Troop 1 and they may get posted.

Great Weekend at Andreae Cabin

A group of Scouts go back up the hill to get another load of gear.


Hiking before the weather changed and 8" of new snow fell over night.


A crowd gathers to wash personal dishes and mess kits after a meal.

Pack 1 & 3's Pinewood Derby

A big thank you goes out to the youth of Troop 1 who helped out at Saturday's Pinewood Derby event. Eight youth were in attendance throughout the day and helped out with various activities including: registration, race running (both at the start and the finish), concessions, and clean-up. All youth did a fabulous job. In addition they were treated to a preview of the new Camp Promotion Video. Watch for your chance to view this awesome video at our upcoming Camp Promotion and Unit Election Meeting.

From the desk of the Scoutmaster

The goals of this weeks meeting were discussed at the last meeting. Planning how we can work together as a troop is crucial to the outcome of achieving the goals. Our trip to Andreas cabin relies on the fact that the team work together to plan and carry out all the things necessary to making the trip possible. Plan to go to Mr. Sevener at the next meeting and explain to him how you can help the troop achieve their goal for the next meeting.
