The camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities are essential elements of the advancement and overall youth development process.
Boys learn to accommodate the group needs as well as to eventually provide group leadership.
The troop is organized so that the older Scouts and trained adults provide instruction and support as new experiences are encountered. Camping and other outdoor experiences through the year are normally held at a variety of parks, campgrounds, and reserves. Troop 77 generally has at least one outing every month. These include day hikes, service projects, drive-in camps, long term camps, short weekend backpacking trips, as well as 50 milers, and high adventure opportunities. Our major troop camping activity is summer camp .
