What a great day the Troop and Troop family members had for going to Schlitterbahn Water Park August 20, 2011. The sky was cloudy and it looked like rain all day which kept the crowd down. We arrived at the park at approximately 9:45 AM and didn’t leave till 6:00 PM. Yes we made a day of it. We slipped, slided and floated all day long from one slide to the next. With any luck at all the troop hopes to do this great activity again once Schlitterbahn has completed the construction of additional slides.

What a Hot, Hot, Hot Summer Camp Boy Scout Troop 282 had!!!!!!!!!!!. But any day at scout camp is a better day than being in the City of heat. We took 49 scouts and 31 leaders to camp this summer. We had 4 boys and 2 adults on the permanent camp staff . We also had 2 adults on staff while we were at camp 6th Session. We had great leadership in the Scouts and Leaders for all 10 days. The troop earned 160 merit badges while at camp this summer. We had the following Scouts advance in rank:

Matt Moorman
Derek Kraus

Gus Hendren

Our scout troop painted the cabin that the Recording Medicine Man stays in as our camp service project. The troop would like to thank everyone who took part in this great service project.

We had many scouts elevated in the Great Tribe of Mic-O-Say a Honor Campers program. These elevations should not be taken lightly as they are only done for those who have gone the extra mile in scouting, community, school, church and home.

The Troop would also like to thank John Verman for his leadership at summer camp and through out the 2010-2011 scouting year.

Well with that said its time to start thinking about Summer Camp 2012. The 1st payment date has already come and gone. So scouts start bring your weekly payment to scout meeting along with your payment book.
