While we serve the Rogers/Hassan/Otsego areas, any and all boys aged 11-18 are welcome in our Troop.

Troop 582 meets the first through fourth (or fifth) Tuesday of the month at Word of Peace Church in Rogers, MN at 7:00 p.m.  The last Tuesday of the month from 6:15 - 6:45 pm is the Patrol Leaders' Conference.

This year's theme: SHARP AND POINTY, FIRE, AND COOKING

CYCLE ("Council Youth Camping & Leadership Experience") is EXTREME TRAINING in an outdoor classroom, where Scouts have the chance to work together to complete tasks and compete in games, learning leadership and problem solving along the way! Our youth-designed, youth-conducted program offers separate "TIERS" to meet the needs of Scouts.

Participants will engage in challenging outdoor activities that reinforce Scouting skills and teach leadership, all while enjoying a weekend camping experience at Stearns Scout Camp. Troops of all sizes will benefit from this event, as younger Scouts will have a chance to learn from older Scouts, and more experienced youth will be challenged with activities appropriate to their ability levels.

RETURN: Sunday, May 20 around 1 pm
