Northern Tier is the Boy Scouts of America’s gateway to adventure in the Great Northwoods. In the Summer, scouts from Northern Tier’s three wilderness canoe bases explore millions of acres of pristine lakes, meandering rivers, dense forests and wetlands in Northern Minnesota, Northwest Ontario and Northeast Manitoba.

Troop 159 has 4 spots available for scouts to join T159 on their trip to Northern Tier this summer.  The trip is scheduled for Saturday, August 5, 2017 -  August 12, 2017.  The estimated cost is $1,800.

Please talk the Scoutmaster for contact information if you would like to get more information.   Troop 159 like to scouts to join the Northern Tier planning process as soon as possible.  In addition, flights need to be booked soon.

Troop 437 will be returning to the BSA Sea Base High Adventure camp in the summer of 2018!  If you like water, sun and fun you will not want to miss this high adventure!

Sign-ups are now open for this trip and will close on January 19th.  Space on this trip is limited so sign-up early.

For more information check out the FAQ document.  To sign-up print the Sign-up form and turn it into the Scoutmaster or the trip planners.

The January trip for Troop 437 is a skiing or snowboarding at Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford,  NH.  Please visit their website http://www.gunstock.com/ for more details and directions. Gunstock has 8 lifts and 55 trails and skiing for all levels.  On Friday evening, we are staying at the Gilford Youth Center, 19 Potter Hill Rd, Gilford, NH.  http://www.gilfordyouthcenter.com/   The GYC has a gymnasium and game room (ping-pong, foosball, Wii) that will be available to us on Friday night.

Sign-ups are due January 12th.

At the start of 2016 the BSA released updated rank requirements and provided a year long transition period.  That period is now over and all Scouts must use the new requirements.

For scouts with old handbooks (almost everyone in the troop who did't join this year) you can print out a new Rank Requirements Insert and staple or paperclip it in whole or just select pages into your handbook.  Once you have the new requirements insert you can work with older scouts or the Scoutmaster to transfer requirements you have completed into the new insert.

If you have any questions please contact the Scoutmaster.
