The Klonderee is a fun winter campout that allows troops to compete against each other in fun scouting related events. It is a two night campout at Golden Gate State Park. We cook our own food and sometimes we camp in the snow. It is always a fun time and ordinarily it will snow or there will already be snow on the ground. More information to come, but sign up if you’re interested. 

Our Troop is currently planning a July 2022 Road Trip and Summer Camp to the Scouts BSA Camp at the K-M (K Bar M) Scout Ranch located near Hilger, Montana. 

In addition to the 1 week long Scout Camp session, we will be adding on additional days to travel and sightsee either before or after the camp session.  Since this camp location is approx 700 miles from Centennial, CO, we will be allowing 2 travel days minimum back and forth.  A possible side trip could include Yellowstone National Park, Grand Tetons, Horseback Riding, River Rafting, etc (to be determined by the Scouts in their planning meetings).

The approx dates for the entire trip (depending on the Scouts final vote) are:

                Option #1            Sightseeing Before          Wed July 6^th thru Sun July 17^th     OR

                Option #2            Sightseeing After             Fri July 8^th thru Wed July 20th

If you are interested (both for Scouts alone and with Parents), please signup on the Troop Website before Jan 10^th to gauge interest to determine if we have enough people to make this trip happen.  We don’t want to cancel this trip if there is not enough interest.  You will not be bound by this initial signup.  Final down payment and commitment will not be required until Mar 2022.

 Please contact Mr. Rau if you have any questions about this trip.

Sea Base is in our rotation for high adventure in 2023. So, if you are interested then please sign up on the website. Registration for Sea Base opens on January 12th so sign up soon.

Our 27th annual ski trip to Copper Mountain!

NOTE - this trip is currently not 100% confirmed with Copper Mountain.  They are keeping watch on COVID cases and will only be able to confirm sometime in January if the trip can go ahead as planned.  We are optimistic we will be able to re-start our annual ski-trip tradition at Copper, so opening registration for anyone that would like to attend.

Scouts will gather at Newton Middle School early on Saturday, February 26 and car-pool to Copper Mountain. We'll drop our overnight packs at the ski patrol headquarters at the top of the mountain and spend the day skiing and riding. On Saturday night, Scouts and parent chaperones will stay in the ski patrol headquarters at the top of the mountain and ski down before lifts open on Sunday the 27th. Fingers crossed for fresh powder - we have had this several times in the past few years!

We are the only scout troop in Colorado that is allowed to stay in the ski patrol headquarters. Scouts will be asked to bring a few dollars and snacks for the ski patrol and to leave the hut cleaner than we found it.

Mr Langley-Hawthorne is the adult in-charge of the trip, assisted by My Hiller.   We need an SPL for this trip - contact Mr Langley-Hawthorne if you are interested.

Scouts can earn the Snow Sports merit badge if you study the Snow Sports reading material before the trip.

Shakedown date to be confirmed.

Anyone who wants to stay in the ski patrol lodge overnight needs to be able to ski or snowboard BLUE runs and ski down the mountain in the morning with a back pack holding their overnight gear.  A maximum of 20 people can stay in the hut overnight.

If you do not want to stay in the ski patrol hut overnight, you are still welcome to come up for the day with the troop (but would need to have arrangements for transportation home when the lifts close).

Departure: Saturday, February 26, from Newton Middle School.  Meet at Newton at 5:15 am.

Return: Sunday, February 27 arriving Newton around 11:00 am.

Please see more details under Event Registration.
