Campouts

Troop 4 is a very active outdoor troop, having campouts every month (except July and August). Campout events are varied and the scouts have a great deal of input into the planning.

For each campout, a colored bead is awarded to each participant that is worn on a necklace or bead string. The color of the bead commemorates the weather conditions encountered on the campout or the nature of the event. See the Bead Guide below for a description of the various colors.
