Let's Go Camping!
Adventure awaits on our monthly camping trips
Our Camping Program
Troop 7 camps as a troop about once a month throughout the year. We usually camp 1 to 2 hours distance from Port Washington at various scout camps and state parks in the region.
Each trip is planned well in advance, and parents are encouraged to camp with us and contribute to the driving pool. Below are important documents to make your and your Scout's camping experience fun, safe, and responsible.
