Winter Tesomas 2024 Campout – Saturday, February 17 – Monday, February 19, 2024

It’s almost time for our annual trek back up to Tesomas Scout Camp on 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.  Winter activities include tubing, sledding, ice fishing, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, hiking, quinzee building/sleeping, climbing wall, and star gazing; it is a blast! Both Scouts and Leaders sleep in comfortable, heated cabins. It is a great outing for all, no matter how much experience you have. Scroll down to see pictures from previous trips.

We will leave at 7am 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 and arriving back in Riverside around 2pm. The cost for this trip is $120 for Scouts and $75 for adults.

FYI, for this trip we will stop for lunch on the way there and the way back as well, so Scouts need to bring at least $20 to cover the cost of meals to/from camp, plus optional cash for modest trading post items.

Klondike Derby – Saturday, January 20th

Troop 24 will be entering the Klondike Derby at Bemis Woods South at Ogden Ave & Woodland Avenue in Western Springs on Saturday, January 20, 2024. Scouts will meet at Riverside Presbyterian Church at 7:30 a.m. and return the same day at approximately 3:00 p.m.

We will form our annual Lost Boy Patrol of 8 scouts to take the Troop 24 sled through a course of Scout Craft activities and compete in the Iditarod Sled Race in the afternoon. The Lost Boy patrol will meet during the Thursday meeting on Jan 18 to prepare for the race, review their scout skills, and get the sled ready to fly! All Klondike Derby activities will be outside, so scouts should dress appropriately for the weather.

The cost of this outing will be $10.00 and a can of non-cream soup (to be dumped into the “Klondike Kettle”). Scouts should also bring a sack lunch/snack to accompany the soup, a water bottle/canteen for the trail, and a lot of enthusiasm to bring home the Gold!

We are in need of leaders and drivers. Since this outing is close, drivers do not need to stay. Adults are welcome to stay and participate. Space is limited for this outing. The deadline to register is Wednesday, January 17, 2024.
