Troop 37 at the Mountain Man Rendezvous at Boulder Creek Scout Camp.
Troop 37 Scouts, signup on the event on our new calendar:
Boy Scout Troop 37 invites you to join us for a weekend of fun and adventure at the Mountain Man campout October 15-17, 2012, at Boulder Creek Scout Reservation.
Mountain Man gives Webelos scouts a chance to check out Boy Scouts by camping together with the troop for the weekend. Scouts can use this campout to satisfy requirements for camping with Boy Scouts for the Arrow of Light Award or Outdoorsman activity badge. At the same time, the boys can see what pioneer life was like, with Mountain Man-themed activities, demonstrations, and trading post.
