Every summer we take a weeklong trip to Many Point Scout Camp just north of Detroit Lakes, MN. Boys enjoy swimming, canoeing, shooting, working on merit badges, climbing and much more over the course of the week. With the help of one of the best camp staffs in the country, boys come home with much more than just their merit badges.

Throughout the year the troop attends almost all of the Lake Minnetonka District camporees. We also camp on our own as a troop taking advantage of the many parks and wildlife areas that surround Victoria including the State Parks of Minnesota. Campout activities include advancement work, cooking, orienteering, hiking and much more.
