Yesterday Troop 239 made a trip to Camp Arrowhead's range. We got to test out the new Cowboy Action fi****ms, do some small service projects, found some local wildlife that calls the range their home, and three scouts not only earned their Rifle Shooting Merit Badge but also gained entry into the Camp Arrowhead Dime Club!

Today is Earth Day, an annual global event focused on raising awareness and encouraging action to protect the environment.

Outdoor Ethics Guides help troops build strong, responsible outdoor habits in every adventure.

They support Scouts in learning and practicing the Outdoor Code, Leave No Trace, and Tread Lightly! principles while hiking, camping, and enjoying the outdoors. The focus is on making good choices that protect nature and reduce impact.

They also help Scouts working toward Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class by reinforcing these skills in real outdoor settings.

Responsibilities include:

🌿 Promoting Leave No Trace, Tread Lightly!, and the Outdoor Code
🧭 Setting a strong example for others
👕 Wearing the uniform correctly
📜 Living the Scout Oath and Scout Law
🔥 Showing true Scout spirit in all outdoor activities

New Tech Coming to Camp Arrowhead!

We’re excited to share that Camp Arrowhead is getting two new 3-D printers this year — Bambu Lab P2S Combo printers!

This opens up a lot of fun and creative possibilities for our Scouts. Imagine printing:
🏹 Archery score clips and range gear
🦅 Camp Arrowhead souvenir keychains and neckerchief slides
🧭 Scout skills training tools
🏕️ Replacement camp equipment parts
🎯 Shooting sports accessories
🏆 Patrol competition awards and Arrowhead keepsakes

It’s also a great opportunity for Scouts to explore design, engineering, and innovation while at camp.

Now we need your help!

What should be the FIRST 10 things we print at Camp Arrowhead?

Drop your ideas in the comments! We’re looking for creative ideas, useful camp items, and fun souvenirs for Scouts to take home.

Let’s see what our Scouts can can come up with!

Scouts at SEAS had a great flag retirement ceremony recently! We were honored to have Master Sargent (retired) Gary Adamek as our master of ceremonies as well as our Scoutmaster at Troop 239! Scouts learned about our flag’s history as well as the process for respectfully disposing of all those entrusted to the Troop.
