Natural Shelters

Troop 50 hosts an annual weekend campout in November called Natural Shelters. During this weekend campout each patrol is responsible for building a Natural Shelter in the woods using materials found on site. During and after the weekend event we strictly follow the Outdoor Code and Leave No Trace Principles.

Although not for 2020, we usually host and invite area Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts to attend. The visiting scouts are divided and placed with the patrols of Troop 50. This is a popular event, where your scouts will have an opportunity to work with Troop 50 scouts to build natural shelters that will be used by patrols overnight and participate in other fun activities that help to satisfy many of the Webelos/AOL rank requirements. Details for the current year and a few photos from the past are included below.

If your scout or den would like to attend please see the column to the right for important details and documents needed. We hope to see you in November! Please contact Mr. Jim Smith or Mr. Mark Schweiger if your Webelos/AOL scout and den would like to attend!!
