- Scouting For Food
October 26, 2009
- American Legion Post 286, Boy Scout Troop 843, and Pack 3843 would like to give thanks to everyone in the Oostburg and Hingham area
who supported our "Scouting For Food" food drive this year. Without the generous donations of people in the community, the success
of this event could not be possible. Of course, this event would never happen if it would not be for the efforts of many people from
the Legion, the Troop and the Pack. As always, the food collected will go to the food bank in the Oostburg Legion Hall, and will
benefit needy families in our area.
- A Celebration to Remember!
October 3, 2009
- 100 years of scouting capped off in traditional Boy Scout style, with a Jamboree! More than 10,000 Scouts and Scouters gathered on
the grounds of the EAA in Oshkosh to kick off this Centennial Celebration. They came from all over the Midwest representing 21
different councils. With tents just about as far as you can see all around you, and so many Scout uniforms and the presence of the
National Guard, This was truly a site to remember!
Our Scouts were able to observe many demonstrations, from RC Planes, Military and Police Implement and tactics, to Snake handling.
They also got to participate in events such as Rifle Shooting, an Obstacle Course, and Kite Flying. All in all, we had a lot of fun!
I hope to see everyone at the next one (In another 100 years)!
- Great Time at Gardner Dam!
Posted July 1, 2009
- Although it was hot all week, fun was had by all at Gardner Dam Scout Camp! The first three days were in the high 90s, and the boys
spent a lot of time in the water. Some of us were able to tube down the river, and others went Mountain Biking. Some went fishing,
and a couple boys spent a lot of their time on the Climbing Wall. We earned a total of 38 merit badges, 3 partials and 9 Awasa awards
this year. The leaders were also kept busy earning the 'Adult Leader Award', and had a lot of fun doing it! Mr. Malueg and Mr. VerVelde
took time for some intense training to get certified in 'BSA Swimming & Water Rescue' and 'Paddle Craft Safety' (THANK YOU!).
HURRAH TO OUR TROOP, we took 2nd place in the 'Water Carnivals' this year. I hope to see everyone back next year!
- Spring Camporee at LTC
Posted June 5, 2009
- This years Spring Camporee was a blast! We had a good time working with the Health and Human Services, Business and Technology,
and General Education Departments. We had the opportunity to take apart a computer and work with a GPS system. We also got to learn
about chemistry, dental health, and public safety.
- Pizza Ranch Fundraiser
Posted May 30, 2009
- This is turning out to be a great fundraiser for us. I know it's a lot of work, and I appreciate everyones help at this. We
were told that our group was the best (well disciplined well mannered, and great service) they've had in a very along time.
This is quite a compliment. You all should be very proud. Remember, better service means better tips! Thanks again to everyone
who was able to help. Great Job! I hope we can count on more of our troops families next time in December.
- "Lucky Duck"
Posted April 18, 2009
- On Saturday, April 18th, we had eight boys and five adults to help with the placement of the Wood Duck Houses we made. We
split up into two groups, and we were able to get them all hung by 10:30 a.m. Everyone had lots of fun. We saw a lot of
wildlife, and we even got a few wet feet. I would like to thank Mr. Davies for the lumber, Daane Hardware and Oostburg
Lumber for materials, Mr. Brusse for use of his shop, and everyone who helped with this project. We can all take pride in
the fact that we helped make our waterways more attractive by insuring the population of such a beautiful bird. Thanks
again to everyone who helped make this project a success! Waddle we do next?
