We have LOTS of events planned for the shortest month of the year!

On February 14, we have room for 10 scouts to participate in the Klondike Derby, an annual event sponsored by the Council based on the Iditarod–although with scouts pulling the sleds, rather than dogs. For scouts who don’t mind cold weather, this is a very fun event, and one that every scout should do once. For more information, or to sign up: Klondike Gold in the Cold

We have two ski trips planned, one specifically for our Star & Above scouts (intermediate skiers/no beginners), and one suitable for all ages and skill levels.

On February 21-22, Star & Above scouts will be going to Chestnut Mountain Resort in Galena. We will leave early Saturday morning, ski all day, and spend the night at the lodge (bunkbeds with up to 8 per room). Kent Johnson and Bruce Robertson will be our leaders for that event. We are limited to 15 participants (scouts & leaders both), so sign up soon! For more information, or to sign up: Chestnut Mountain

On February 28-March 1, we are sponsoring a trip to Sunburst Recreation in Wisconsin This outing is suitable for beginning skiers, as well as those who have never skied before. Lessons are available. We will leave from RPC early on Saturday, spend the day skiing, have pizza at a hotel, and return to the slopes for night-time tubing. Scouts can attend on their own or the whole family is welcome to take advantage of the group rates and join us. Families may choose to make this a day trip or stay overnight; all single scouts should plan to stay overnight. For more information, or to sign up: Sunburst

On February 22, we need 12 scouts to assist with the Pack 24 Crossover. The time involved would be approximately 2 hours (5:00 – 7:00). If you are attending the ski trip, you will have time to do both. Dinner will be provided for those boy scouts who sign up. To sign up: Crossover
