Troop 1 tries to spend two nights a month under the stars, in a tent, hammock, quinzhee, or cabin.
We have camped at Northern Star Council camps, at Minnesota and Wisconsin state parks, and National Forest Service primitive camps.
We're always looking for great places to camp and explore!

July 12-18, 2026 • Tomahawk Scout Camp
• COST • $415/youth (+$25 if registered after June 1), $150/adult
Spend a full week at summer camp with Troop 1! This is a highlight of the year for many scouts. We will spend nearly the full week outside, sleeping in tents and cooking our meals together as patrols. Newer scouts get to work on outdoor skills and get a head start on rank advancement, older skills are able to try out some high-adventure and trades programs, and all scouts work on merit badges and enjoy time together in the woods and on the water.
Adults are also welcome as registered volunteers, it's a rewarding experience to spend this time with our scouts and see their growth.
TBD, around August 5-10, 2026 • Apostle Islands Sailing
• COST • $500

This trip is full, you can sign up to be added to a waitlist here.
We will offer this again in future years.
