Troop 2025 News and Events
We are headed to Summer Camp at Camp Arrowhead this year, from June 14-20. Early-bird registrations are due soon, so you should be thinking about whether you will be going and what merit badges you want to work on!
Click here for details. More information will be coming soon!
Troop 149 has reserved slots for 3 crews to go to the Northern Tier high adventure base, near Ely, MN. The trip is scheduled for June 14-23, 2026. They still have a few open slots for both male and female participants. Scouts must be at least 14 years old on June 15, 2026, and must meet height and weight standards. The total cost of the trip will be about $1,300 per person. Assistant Scoutmaster Jim Stone has taken crews to Northern Tier 6 times, so please contact him with questions. The first payments to Northern Tier will be due October 1.
Participants may need to purchase additional gear for the trek as well, so plan ahead.
Trainer's Edge is a class for anyone who wants to learn more about communication and teaching others. Ozark Trails Council is offering a session on March 28!
Learn how to help those who are injured in the back woods. WFA will happen at Camp Arrowhead on April 4.
All Scout campouts must include one person who has completed IOLS training (or BALOO for cubs). If you're interested, you can visit Camp Arrowhead on May 8.
This sensory-friendly MBU is an opportunity for Scouts to visit Camp Arrowhead for the day and earn another merit badge on their Journey to Eagle!
Our Scouts have been making a splash! They recently conducted flag ceremonies at the Missouri S&T football game on November 3 and at the Rolla Middle School for Veteran's Day. They did a fantastic job, and we're very proud of them.
Several Scouts from our Troop (and Pack 2025) were also recognized at the Middle School the first week of February for their volunteer efforts in clearing snow from the sidewalk in front of the school!
We recently took the time to recognize our Scouts for their achievements. Several of our scouts were recognized for receiving their Tenderfoot rank, as well as merit badges and other awards. We wrapped up the evening with pizza and ice cream!
Scouts spend the nights in the Director's Cabin, worked on orienteering and hiking, and helped clean up the trails around the campground!
Two Scouts earned the Polar Bear award for this year.
Troop 2025 joined Pack 2025 for the 2026 Pinewood Derby! They helped set up and open the event, and participated in Outlaw Division races! Our winners were:
Teri C. (1st place)
Ethan S. (2nd place)
Tyler J. (3rd place)
Rolla's annual Scouting for Food event took place in February. Troop 85, Troop 2025, and Pack 2025 collected over 3,200 pounds of food, all of which was donated to GRACE and will remain with families in the Rolla area.
Our Scouts had a blast at the Frontier District Klondike Derby! They joined Scouts from other units across central Missouri to show off their Scouting skills and compete against other Troops. Even though the weather was wet, it was a lot of fun!
Several of our Scouts attended the MBU at Missouri S&T on February 7 and earned one more merit badge on their journey to Eagle!
Tent camping amping in Missouri, in January. Not for the faint of heart. But our Scouts learned important skills for staying safe and comfortable in the cold, and had a great time throwing snowballs, sledding, and learning about building shelters in the snow.
Our newly elected youth leaders participated in ILST training with members of Troop 149 at Fort Leonard Wood. ILST is youth leadership training, and a prerequisite for other training opportunities.
They had a great time, had the chance to work with Scouts from another unit, and learned a few useful skills along the way.
