Activities and Campouts

Here in our Troop, we go on many activities, campouts, and trips. We have branched into many different skills and activities such as rock climbing, scuba diving, service work, and more. Exploring new heights like never before.

We take pride in our commitment to giving back to the community with our frequent service projects, ranging from volunteering at food banks to building dog houses every year. We frequently volunteer at Loaves and Fishes to help provide for our community. Community service is not all, nature is another important thing to the scouts. Conservation work is another fun activity that engages the scout with the environment and teaches good habits.

Here are some of the recent activities that Troop 37 and 3711 has done.

Canoeing Trip

Camping isn't always on-site, pack your bags and tie your boots and embark on a one on one journey with nature and each other.

Deep Sea Diving

This is one of the High Adventure trips our scout goes on. Once a year our troop will go on a trip to either the New Mexican trails or deep-sea diving in the Florida keys.

Troops 37 and 3711 are scout-lead units, through and through. It is our scouts who set the program for

weekly troop meetings, determine the outdoor adventures we enjoy, and plan the events

we participate in. Therefore, our calendar of events varies from year to year. Nevertheless,
