Troop 60 at Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan & September 12th OPEN HOUSE: Sharing Tales from Camp

This summer, 11 BSA Troop 60 Scouts & 7 adult leaders visited Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan Scout Camp in Pearson, WI. Over the week, our Scouts and adult leaders swam, hiked, cooked & ate, boated, participated in various sports & enjoyed additional outdoor activities with other northeastern Illinois BSA Scouts. Our Scouts earned Astronomy, Enviromental Science, Life Saving, First Aid, Emergency Preparedness, Motorboating, and other merit badges. Troop 60 once again earned the Baden-Powell Award and received a perfect score for maintaining the Troop 60 campsite, conducting a daily Flag Ceremony at our campsite, and performing a project that benefitted the entire Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan Camp. Five Scouts and an adult leader also helped at Camp an extra day and were welcomed into the Order of the Arrow at a special ceremony. 



If you want to hear more Tales from Camp directly from our Troop 60 Scouts and Adult Leaders, come join us for a BSA Troop 60 information Open House on September 12th at 7 PM in the Koenig Center. 

Learn how Scouts BSA will transform the youth of today into tomorrow’s leaders through Service, Community Engagement and Leadership. Learn about Troop 60’s unique program and culture.
