Sienna Recreation has invited Scouts from Troop 140 to staff the Sienna Community Campout. Participating Scouts will earn up to 6 hours of community service, and have their meals provided.  

Scouts will support the event by Assisting Families set up their tents, Cooking & Service dinner, Assembling S'more kits for campers, and performing an American Flag retirement ceremony. 

Held during Thanksgiving break, Campsgiving is the turducken of camps, offering a traditional camp experience with a variety of merit badge opportunities, a STEM camp, and a high-adventure camp all in one. Meals are provided by Sam Houston Area Council. Details are updated here: https://shacbsa.org/campsgiving

Trail to Troop is a campout designed to introduce Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts (4th & 5th-graders) to the many outdoor adventures of Scouting. This awesome weekend event includes patrol-method camping and derby-style Scout challenges. On Saturday morning, dens and patrols are challenged in Scout skills (e.g., first aid, fire building, camping skills, games, knots). Dens and patrols are judged on their den flag and yell, resources, leadership, teamwork, skill demonstration, and Scout spirit. Details are updated here:

Get ready for an awesome weekend!

Troop 140 will complete a 4 mile backpacking trek (2 miles in / 2 miles out) at Sam Houston National Forest. This is the minimum distance required to complete the backpacking requirement of the camping Merit Badge.

Scouts and Adults attending this camp will need approved backpacking gear (which parents may need to purchase) and must be physically capable of handling the demands of the trek. Beginning in 2027, we will discuss the specific gear, packing, and preparation required for the trip.

Along the way, Scouts will have opportunities to filter drinking / cooking water and have plenty of opportunities for trail cooking. Opportunities abound for completing Rank Requirements, Camping, Cooking and Backpacking MB requirements.  

this is intended to be an introduction to backpacking, and any Scout or Adult considering future high-adventure treks such as Philmont or Northern Tier should strongly consider signing up for this camp.

Get ready for an amazing experience!

Summer Camp Destination TBD

Northern Tier is the Scouting America’s gateway to adventure in the Great Northwoods. In the summer, Scouts from Northern Tier’s three wilderness canoe bases explore millions of acres of pristine lakes, meandering rivers, dense forests and wetlands in Northern Minnesota, Northwest Ontario and Northeast Manitoba. Northern Tier crews paddle in almost 6 million acres of exclusively canoe-access wilderness from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) of Minnesota to the Atikaki Provincial Park of Manitoba. Trips range in length from 6-14 days and usually include between 50-150 miles of wilderness travel.

All participants must be age 14 by the time they arrive at Northern Tier OR have graduated from the 8th grade and be age 13 by the time they arrive.
