For this year's High adventure, we went to the Boundary waters in northern minnesota! Our route took us straight along the border of the U.S and Canada, which meant plenty of amazing photo opportunities! Along the way we ate at multiple amazing restaurants, and worked with an outfitter to give us the Canoes, paddles, and more. Not only did we canoe a lot, we also fished, cooked, and and swam as a troop. Overall, it was a really fun experience, and we'll be back in 2028!

One of troop 299's biggest outings is our summer camp, Camp Conestoga, which is located near Somerset, PA. During this week of fun, scouts can earn merit badges, signoffs, or simply learn more about scouting! Camp Conestoga is one of the best outings for scouting advancement. At Conestoga we also do plenty of extra activities, Including campfires, competitions between troops, and skits. We also get three meals a day from the dining hall, but there is one evening we get to cook our own food. And don't forget to save money for the trading post, which has things including merch, food, and other items.

Every year, our troop does the white water rafting outing. In this outing, scouts get to go onto the water and practice paddling and swimming skills, along with making friends and memories.

We have so many fun adventures, it's hard to choose a favorite. This weekend, we went down to Kentucky and kayaked in a cave system - and hiked the Natural Bridge trail. We camped and cooked in patrols with food provided by our Scout grubmaster.

February weather has a huge range! But we know there's no bad weather just bad preparation! This year we had mild temperatures, and a great time riding horses, and camping in patrols. Marmon Valley Farm is near Mad River Mountain, northwest of Dublin.

Troop 299 ventured up to Brandywine Ski Resort in northeaster Ohio this weekend for the Snow Sports outing! Scouts braved the slopes - and skied or snowboarded all day. We stayed in a cabin and had an absolute blast!

It gets busy around the holidays so a Troop tradition is a "lock-in" event for the December outing. This year, the Scouts chose Vertical Adventures - an indoor rock climbing experience. We took turns climbing all kinds of different routes - and working the belays. Before crashing around 2 AM, we had a pizza party!

A favorite outing! Conducted at Camp Birch - this outing combines education, camaraderie and skill-building in a safe and supervised environment. Under the watch of trained instructors, Scouts learn and demonstrate their skills in archery, .22 rifle, even shotgun! You can go for the merit badges, or just have fun. After dinner, the Scouts have a dessert competition to cap off the day!

Great troop outing this weekend canoeing on the Little Miami River! If you've ever driven across the big bridge on I-71 on the way to Cincinnati, we got to canoe UNDER it!
