BSA scouts and leaders from Troop 16 at Tesomas Scout Camp near Rhinelander, WI.
Each summer Sycamore Boy Scout Troop 16, chartered by the Federated Church in Sycamore, attends summer camp. This year 22 scouts and numerous adults made their annual trek to Tesomas Summer Camp in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. This one week summer camp adventure offers rank advancement opportunities, camaraderie of scouts from many different areas, and great lifetime experiences. Each day scouts worked on merit badges of their choice such as swimming, emergency preparedness, first aid, cooking, communications, wilderness survival, fishing, archery, leatherworks, rifle shooting, robotics, canoeing, kayaking, and more. High adventure opportunities included the Micro Trek Adventure with ATV riding, zip lining, BMX biking, paddle boarding and shooting sports, and Scuba Diving Adventures. The evenings were enjoyed with campfires, camp programs, and free time to enjoy high and low rope courses, a climbing wall, shotgun, archery and more. Scouts completed over 45 merit badges combined.
Troop 16 is a strong troop with 44 active scouts. Any boy aged 11 through 18 is invited to join; no past scouting experience or background is required. Troop 16 meets most Sunday evenings from 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm at the Federated Church in Sycamore. For more information about Troop 16, please contact Scoutmaster Tim Ruetten at 815.895.4940.
