We received our 2018 Charter, which the VFW framed and hung prominently on the wall for us. We are very proud to have them as our chartering organization!
Kenosha’s 4th quarter and 2017 Hometown Hero. VFW Commander and Troop 570 Executive Officer, Mr Robert Roberts. Congratulations!
Sign your scout up for an exciting merit badge on February 18th at Adventure Rock in Milwaukee. The Google doc link is below. Please sign up by 1/31 so we can reserve our spots.
January 22 from 5-8 pm Troop 570 will be at Culver’s on Sheridan Road for a fundraiser in which Culver’s will donate a share of their profits to the troop. We hope all the boys will be able to attend, as they will be helping to serve the customers. Please invite your family and friends to help make it a successful event.
The troop will not be participating in the Klondike Derby on Saturday, January 20th due to the low number of scouts available to participate. Hopefully we can take part in this event in future years.
On Saturday December 16th, we will be taking part in the laying of wreaths at the Southern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Union Grove (21731 Spring Street). The program starts at 9 am. Afterwards we will be going to Bong State Recreation Area to hike and eat lunch. Please bring a bag lunch.

Troop 570 will be camping and scaring this year at the Haunted Hayride. Scouts will need to be at Oh-Da-Ko-Ta by 6 PM, and dressed and ready to scare by 6:30. Mr. Smith will be going out early to set up tents and prepare our scaring area. We will be doing a clown theme for our costumes.
Below is a link to a Google document which will allow you to sign up your scout and an adult for site sales. In total, we have 11 site and 33 scout spots to fill. The first sale is this Sunday, so please don’t wait to sign up for your desired spot(s). No more than 3 site sales per scout to start. Once everyone has had a chance to sign up, then we will open it up for additional sign ups. We need at least one adult at each site and that adult will need to coordinate pick up & drop off of popcorn and equipment with Matt Pederson.
Our next camping trip is Sept. 29th – Oct. 1st at Devil’s Lake, Its a fun filled weekend of hiking (lots of hiking) through Devils Lake State park, record spin (dance) and camping. The cost is $16 per person which includes camping & a patch. There will be an additional cost for food as the scouts will be making their own meals. The troop will be registering as a whole, so please let Ms. Knick know by 9/18 if your scout or yourself is interested in attending. All the details can be found at: Devil’s Lake Hike & Camping
The precamp swim test will be held on July 27th at 7pm at the Kenosha YMCA located at 7101 53rd St, Kenosha, WI 53144. Parents who are attending camp will also need to take the test. Requirements for each level (swimmer, beginner, etc.) can be found at this swim requirement link.
