Every year, Scouts from many Packs join our troop. It's because Troop 71 rocks! Their first campout is at Camp Long Lake, where they will go during summer camp.

The Scouting For Food program takes place annually across the USA. Our troop is a part of it every year. This year was very successful, with numbers reaching 1,737 food items collected by Troop 71, along with numerous toiletry items.

Thursday 2/28 was this year's Blue and Gold dinner for Pack 71. The Den Chiefs were the dessert judges for the contest. It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it.

We learned about nuclear science in the Engineering building on the UW-Madison campus.

On February 8-10 Troop 71 held its annual winter cabin weekend at Camp Long Lake.

On January 12, the Scouts of Troop 71 helped Cub Scouts from all over Potawatomi Area Council achieve their Scientist activity pins.

The Red Cross Blood Drive was a huge success. There were 63 donors and 62 pints of blood donated.

Here are the top sellers for the 2012 Fall Fundraiser. Congratulations!

Our wreath sales have gone terrifically this year. There were a lot that needed to be delivered to satisfied customers all over the area.

We left the SJV parking lot for Mr. Winkelhake’s farm on Saturday morning, Nov 3, 2012. Mr. Winkelhake was the Scoutmaster of Troop 71 from 1990 until 2001. Every year, he hosts a cold weather campout at his farm near Jackson, WI. After lunch, for our service project, we helped cut down some trees and move the brush to the brush pile. We also picked up rocks from the field and put them into a trailer. We all had fun riding with the rocks in the trailer.
