Welcome to Troop 186

Boy Scout Troop 186 is chartered by the Knights of Columbus of Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Rochester Minnesota. We are in the Hiawatha District of the Gamehaven Council of the Boy Scouts of America.

We meet every Monday night from 7:00-8:30pm in the activity room in the Parish Center basement. We work on merit badges, advancement, and plan our monthly campouts. We also participate in a number of community activities and service projects.

If you would like more information about Troop 186, please contact the Scoutmaster, Brett Parks, or the Webmaster, Bob Techentin.

 

 
Emergency Drill at GSR PDF Print E-mail

On May 11th, 2013 an emergency disaster drill took place at Gamehaven Scout Reservation, in which there were “infected” people dressed to look like zombies. Rescue teams were sent out to help real people (acting, of course) and mannequins alike from the imposing threat of the infection. This drill was to help medical students, doctors, nurses, and paramedics learn how to react if a real emergency were to occur.  Those who were not “zombies” or actors were helping with victim registration, search and rescue, security and on-scene reporters. Once the drill was completed all groups were given a ten-minute break and then the drill was repeated.

After the second round was done most people left, but almost all of the boy scouts stayed and completed various emergency/medical related merit badges (i.e. Emergency Preparedness; First Aid; Medicine)

This is just a reminder in case you have been missing any meetings lately. The Court of Honor at the end of the year is coming up on Monday, May 27th. It would be a good idea to come to the last few meetings before then so that you can finish up any rank advancements/merit badges (although it would be great to come to all of the meetings).

Arrow of Light Ceremony PDF Print E-mail

On January 24th we welcomed 5 new scouts in to the troop. They crossed over from being WEBELOS to Boy Scouts with the Arrow of Light ceremony. It began with a tiger scout going to find a cub scout elder and bring him to the ceremony. The elder than taught us a few words in the Cherokee language. He then shot 5 arrows into a target we had set up. When firing, 2 arrows shattered because they had hit the table before the target. He then called the 5 scouts up to receive their arrows and cross the bridge. The boy scouts then put on their new neckerchiefs.

We hope that these new scouts will live up to the expectations of the troop, parents, fellow scouts, leaders, and themselves. We look forward to helping them move up in the ranks of scouting.

Respectfully submitted by Troop Historian
