USS Silversides Submarine
Join the troop for an overnight encampment on the USS Silversides Submarine in Muskegon, MI. Silversides received twelve battle stars for World War II service and was awarded one Presidential Unit Citation for cumulative action over four patrols. She is credited with sinking 23 ships, the third-most of any allied World War II submarine, behind only the USS Tang and USS Tautog. The tonnage of the ships sunk by Silversides amounted to 90,080 tons, second only to Tang's total. Judged by such standards, Silversides has the most prolific combat record of any still-extant American submarine.

Camp Lowden
Scouts will be able to enjoy the beauty of Lowden State Park where the bluffs are graced with a majestic image of an American Indian gazing over the Rock River Valley. It is a 50 foot, concrete-reinforced wonder that is a tribute to all Native Americans, but more commonly associated with Chief Black Hawk. Legend has it that Chief Black Hawk, as he left the area after the Black Hawk War, talked of the beauty of the area and admonished his captors to care for the land as he and his people had.

Wisconsin Canoe Trip
First outing of the year promises to be spectacular! The troop will be canoeing the Sugar River in WI. The Sugar River is a tributary of the Pecatonica River, approximately 91 miles (146 km) long,[1] moving through Wisconsin and Illinois. The scouts will be canoeing 10 of those 91 miles!
It rises in the hills of southwest Wisconsin, in southwest Dane County, approximately 15 miles (24 km) southwest of Madison. The headwaters are at the southern terminus of the last North American glacier. West of the river, the land elevates from lack of glaciation and joins what is known as the “driftless area”, known for its abrupt hills and valleys, covering most of southwest Wisconsin.
