Parent Scout Outing

By MJ K

I’m very excited to share a quick recap of our annual Parent Scout Outing on October 9th-10th, which kicked off our scouting year in style. 

This outing is a long-standing tradition in our troop, bringing scouts and parents together for a weekend of fun and learning. Our scouts got hands-on with Dutch oven cooking, stretcher use, and building forts.

The highlight was a spirited Wiffle Ball game where every patrol tried their best, The senior patrol managed to come on top and beat the parents for the first time in a while.

We also introduced a new tradition of retiring a flag at the campfire, emphasizing respect for the Flag, Scout Oath, and Law. 

Lastly, our night hike added a thrilling touch to our adventure, making the dark a fun, slightly spooky backdrop for our outdoor exploration to close such an exciting and action-packed weekend.
