Events 2019-2020 Online Calendar

In 2020, Samoset Council is thrilled to be celebrating 100 years of youth development and service to our communities in North Central Wisconsin!  Samoset Council has not wavered in its commitment to developing youth through leadership, service, and adventure.  Over the years, thousands of caring adult volunteers have been mentoring and guiding youth through Scouting.  Today, more than ever, youth in our communities need Scouting to help prepare them for tomorrow’s challenges.  The Scouting program relies on community minded investors like you to impact youth.  On behalf of all Samoset Council Scouts, we thank all our generous donors for your support.  Every gift, no matter the size, provides Scouting opportunities for youth across North Central Wisconsin.  Someone will be sharing the Scouting story and inviting you to donate at one of your upcoming unit meetings.  If you would like to donate in advance, please follow this link:  https://donations.scouting.org/#/council/627/appeal/654

Thank you for your commitment to youth!

Outdoor Adventure has always been a core part of Scouting, especially in Samoset Council. We provide many advancement opportunities that take advantage of our beautiful outdoor setting. Join us for one or more of these adventures!

Game description

Everybody comes to form a circle with one chair in the middle. This chair has a bell attached. The game leader chooses a tower guard who has to sit in this chair with his eyes closed. The task is for the other children to sneak up and ring the bell on the chair. If the watchman hears a sound, he is to point in the direction the sound is coming from. If the tower guard was correct, the child sneaking up to the chair has to go back to its seat and another child gets a go. The child, who eventually manages to ring the bell becomes the next tower guard.

The Scout Shop has a lot of popcorn that needs a new home. That is why we are giving you this wonderful sale! First come, first serve so stop by and stock up while supplies last!  You can call ahead and reserve your popcorn order by purchasing over the phone with a credit card! Call anytime during business hours at (715) 355-9680.
