Troop 1970 is all about activities - we try and put together a campout/outing once a month which the Troop chooses at the beginning of the year - whether it is white water rafting in PA, or biking down a mountain alongside a historic train - Troop 1970 aims to bring fun and adventure to all members of the Troop!

​

Here are just a few of the fun activities we have done . . . 

 

Requirements Campouts

Every so often, we do a requirements campout - so the Scouts can work on specific merit badge/rank requirements and earn camping nights. 

​

Summer Camp

Summer Camp is for all scouts - we spend a week at a BSA camp where scouts can earn merit badges, do fun activities, and generally "get back to nature" with their Troop friends.

​

High Adventure Camping 

One week every summer, we take our scouts 14 years and up on a high adventure trip to locations such as Sea Base in the Keys, Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico, Northern Tier in Minnesota, or The Summit in West Virginian for a week of adventures that are sure to test the scouting knowledge while giving them a fantastic adventure. 

​

Cycling Campout

We headed out for a great weekend of camping and cycling in the fall of '23, during which the scouts covered 27 miles on their bikes.

​

Ski Trips

We didn't camp out, but we did enjoy our time on the slopes of Massenutten this year. 

​

And More

Troop 1970 tries to make our program full of adventure with campouts, including hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, the beach, and more.
