Milo McIver State Park

9/26/2026

 
A Weekend of Fishing, Friendship, and Scouting Traditions at Milo McIver​
Our troop enjoyed a memorable weekend at Milo McIver State Park, including four Scouts on their very first campout. The trip featured fishing, crawdad hunting, a visit to the fish hatchery, disc golf, camp cooking, rank advancement, and a meaningful flag retirement ceremony.

Scouts spent Saturday exploring the park, catching fish and crawdads that were later cooked over the fire, visiting the salmon hatchery, and enjoying friendly competition on the disc golf course. That evening, we gathered for a respectful flag retirement ceremony before closing the day with Scout Vespers around the campfire.
After breakfast and breaking camp on Sunday, Scouts worked on advancement requirements before heading home.
​
From outdoor adventure and skill-building to friendship and service, the weekend was a great reminder of what Scouting is all about. For our newest Scouts, it was a fantastic introduction to the program, and for everyone else, another opportunity to make lasting memories outdoors.

Mountain Park Church Service Project

9/19/2026

 

Service with a Side of Adventure!
This weekend, Troop 221 had the chance to give back to Mountain Park Church, which generously provides several rooms for our weekly meetings. Armed with rakes, gloves, and plenty of determination, our Scouts tackled a three-hour service project to help spruce up the church grounds.
  The mission included raking leaves, clearing storm drains, trimming overgrown plants and trees, picking up litter, and making sure the walkways were clean and welcoming. While the start of the school year brought its usual round of colds and busy schedules, six Scouts answered the call. What they lacked in numbers, they more than made up for in teamwork and effort!
   By the end of the project, this mighty crew had completed everything on the to-do list and left the upper parking lot looking fantastic. Their hard work was a great example of how a small group of dedicated Scouts can accomplish big things.
   Just when the project seemed finished, one final opportunity for service rolled up. A nearby vehicle stalled at a busy intersection, and a couple of Troop 221's adult leaders jumped into action to help the driver troubleshoot the problem and get safely back on the road.
   From beautifying our meeting home to helping a stranded motorist, the day was a reminder that Scouting is about more than earning badges. It's about being prepared, serving others, and making our community a little better than we found it. Well done, Troop 221! 🚜🍂👏
