Camping Troop 56 strives to have monthly campouts that allow Scouts to learn more about the outdoors, and to gain leadership expierence. Our camp outs include rock climbing, rapelling, caving, tobogganing, winter survival, hiking, canoeing, zip lines, challange courses, and many more!
Advancement and Leadership Troop 56's core program includes opportunities for all Scouts to gain leadership expierence, all the while learning important values and skills needed down the road. Many of our Scouts advance rapidly through the ranks of Boy Scouts, and some even attain the rank of Eagle Scout.
High Adventure Troop 56 has many high adventure excursions. These trips allow Scouts to gain invalueable expierences, including outdoor survival, hiking, wilderness camping, scuba diving, mountain climbing, and much more!
