Camping
The outdoors is a major component of the Troop's program, and except for August, we go camping every month throughout the year, including a week of summer camp in July. Some campouts are geared more toward scouting skills and advancement, such as map and compass work, fire-building, orienteering, etc. Others campouts are geared toward having fun, such as cross-country skiing, whitewater rafting or high ropes courses. Our May campout is typically a "Spring Trip" to a destination that's both historical and educational, such as Gettysburg, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City, Washington DC, and Valley Forge. Troop 236 also occasionally schedules high-adventure campouts, such as backpacking trips or canoeing in the Adirondacks, and excursions to Philmont Scout Ranch or Florida Sea Base.
