 In March we had our backpacking campout! We had tons of fun hiking and working on rank advancements. Tons of people showed up. We got there late on Friday.  Most of us slept in the cabin, but there were some brave ones who fought the cold. We woke up early the next morning and everybody but the new scouts got ready to hike 10 miles. While the new scouts worked on rank advancement

 This past weekend we had the tobogganing campout to Pokagon State Park in Northern Indiana.  Seven Scouts and 3 adults showed up.  We had a super fun time going tobogganing, but not so much carrying the toboggans back up.  But it was still fun!   Since the river by our campsite was frozen, we went on it.  We were probably on the ice for 2 to 3 hours playing

 This past weekend was the Feast Fest campout. A lot of the troop showed up and it was a super fun campout. We had one AOL, Emmet, join us on the campout. We arrived at Camp Oyo kind of late, but it was fine. We set up patrol boxes, got our gear, and headed up to our cabins. We woke up the next morning ready to start the day with some delicious pancakes and sausage, then we got ready to go

Troop 281 had their annual Pig Roast/New Scout Induction Campout on the weekend of September 15th. The campout was well attended with 37 Scouts! The original plan was to have the campout at Camp Achewon, but due to rain and bad weather it was moved to Friedlander. Mr. Goodfellow and Mr. D'Wolf spent over 7 hours preparing the pig for our feast. During dinner the Court of Honor was held, and

Last week we had our outdoor games meeting, and it was very much fun. We had two choices of games to play. Those consisted of cornhole and football on the front lawn. In cornhole it was some competetive, and some not. In football it was a ton of fun. The final score was 49-63. There were some absolutely amazing plays. Such as my interception, Brendan Haught's hail mary touchdown throw to Ben

This past Sunday, April 29th, we had our yearly Eagle Scout court of honor. This year it was featuring 3 of our scouts, two from the crew and one from the troop. Alexander Smith made a gaga ball pit for New Horizons Church and did well on it. Max Brodbeck did a fantastic job tearing out an old chain link fence and replacing it with a beautiful split rail wood fence. Matt Blaine did a great job

This campout started out great. Warm 76 degrees, sunny, and DRY. We met at the lockup just as we always do, but the scouts were joyed with the good weather. While some were finishing their dinner, others were loading chest full of ice and getting ready to load the trailer. Thanks to Bryan Creelman, we made quick work of loading the trailer and a few other vehicles. We then departed for camp

This past Tuesday was our first ever Easter egg hunt. While it was a chaotic dash for eggs all over the church, it was a ton of fun and the scouts thoroughly enjoyed it.They were going upstairs, downstairs, left and right. The eggs were EVERYWHERE! Great job to all of the scouts who hid the eggs, they did a fantastic job!! We would also like to thank all scouts who brought in candy and eggs, it

This past weekend was a very fun campout. It all started when the  first car arrived a bit after 5. From there the mystery began. It began with a mysteriously dark drive that ended at Camp Birch. Getting out of the vehicles, the Youth Staff led us on a " Wild Goose Chase". We hiked to our campsite with no gear from the trailer. We were told that we would be sleeping with only what we

Hello all, My name is Hunter and I am the new Historian of Troop 281.  Tonight was an incredible meeting. It was comprised of planning for the upcoming Mystery campout, a great presentation of Troop 281 history, provided by Mr. Siebenburgen. We learned 281 was originally chartered with AHUMC, but under the name of Forestville Methodist Episcopal Church.  Thank you Mr.

This campout was the annual feast  fest. It started off like every other campout. We got to the annex at 5, we packed our gear and we left. But once we got on the road, it was a completely different campout. See, most campouts we have a short car ride to the campsite, but not this campout. We were going to Camp Oyo, just outside of Portsmith Ohio. This meant a 2 hour long car trip. We stop
