Western Division Spring Camporee

The Scouts of the Legendary Troop 303 attended the 2026 Western Division Spring Camporee this past weekend.

With a theme of Explore the Skies, the Scouts were able to work on the Astronomy and Weather merit badges. The highlight of the Astronomy merit badge was the opportunity to view celestial objects through some high powered telescopes borrowed from Indiana State University.

On Saturday night, at the Order of the Arrow callout out ceremony, Dylan D, Jack S, and Myles S were all called out. Order of the Arrow is Scouting's nationwide honor society and represents that these Scouts are looked up to by their fellow troop mates. They will have the opportunity to go through Ordeal and become members of the Order of the Arrow. Congrats to these Scouts!

For the adults attending, there was the opportunity to take Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills (IOLS) training. IOLS is a hands-on, outdoor training for leaders to gain confidence in camping, cooking, fire safety, orienteering, and knots. Ben S took part in this training and is now fully trained.

Overall, a great weekend was had by all who attended and the troop looks forward to future adventures!
