On May 18th, our scouts started a 1.7 mile hike (3.4 miles round trip) to our campsite at Knoll Lake, using the Babe Haught Trail No. 88, while senior scouts took a more difficult hike, (8.2 miles round trip) starting at the Tonto fish hatchery. When we arrived the scouts set up camp, and had fun trying to catch fish in a small stream nearby! After cooking dinner, the scouts started a fire with sticks they had collected, before going to sleep for the night.
“How did they actually catch a fish?” – Max B.

Summer Camp
Another great year at Geronimo.
Every Scout who attended summer camp this year had an amazing Summer Camp Experience. This year we occupied campsites 18 & 19. The new scouts participated in brown sea island, providing them with all the skills tehy will need for their future scouting. Older scouts got to participate in merit badge classes. As a troop, Scouts took hikes, participated in the polar bear plunge, and went to the trading post. I think we can all agree we appreciated how much better the food was this year. Both troops won Big G Gold this year!!!
May 2023 Backpacking Trip
On May 20-21 troops 323 & 332 took their last outing of the year at West Clear Creek. Luckily the water levels were not too high, so the trip was not canceled. The trail has many water crossings, and the campsite had watering hole to swim in.
