Our next campout will be held in the DuPage County Forest Preserve at the Blackwell Youth-Group Campground in West Chicago, IL, on March 17-19, 2023.

In addition to camping, we will visit the First Division Museum at nearby Cantigny Park, which has various military indoor exhibits as well as an outdoor Tank Park. Climbing on the tanks at the outdoor park has been a scout favorite in the past!

This campout is open to all scouts, and will be an opportunity for new crossover scouts to learn how campouts work now that they have graduated from Cub Scouts. New scouts are are strongly encouraged to attend if at all possible, and parents as well!

Signup links are listed below, and closes on Sunday, March 12.

It’s almost time for our annual trek back up to Tesomas Scout Camp President’s Day weekend!

Hanna Winter Resort provides everything Scouts BSA Members need to have an incredible outdoor winter experience. Enjoy the pristine winter northwoods environment around the Hanna Venture Base and the freedom to do nearly any winter activity you want.  Before and after lunch campers can use the camp snowshoes, broomball equipment, and ice fishing gear; it is a blast! Scroll down to see pictures from previous trips.

We will leave at 8am Saturday morning, drive to Rhinelander, go tubing in the afternoon at Sylvan Hill Park, have dinner and then drive to Camp Tesomas for two nights, leaving Monday shortly after breakfast. For this trip we stop on the way there and the way back to eat lunch so Scouts have to bring about $20-$25 to cover the cost of meals to/from camp and possible snacks from the camp vending machine.
