Recent Service Projects

The first Saturday in March, Scouts across the country participate in a food drive to benefit their local food banks and pantries. Troop 5611 collected 243 pounds, and combined with our partner units Troop 611 and Pack 191, we delivered nearly NINE HUNDRED pounds of food!

Scouts from Troops 5611 and 611 start every meeting by packing bags of food for a program called Backpack Buddies, which "provides nutritious weekend food packages for children in need. The Backpack Buddies Program strives to provide weekend meals to North Clackamas students receiving free or reduced-price school lunches. The goal for supporting organizations is to serve students two meals per weekend for 37 weeks per year."

Join us in April for a weekend on the beautiful Oregon Coast! Activities include:

• Range & Target Sports – hone skills with archery, rifle, and more
• Climbing Tower – test courage and teamwork high above the ground
• Nature & Hikes – explore forest trails, dunes, and coastal viewpoints
• Beach & Tidepools – discover marine life and enjoy the ocean breeze

Come hang out with the troop and help write letters of love together to brighten days for seniors in isolation all over the USA!

"The Letters Against Isolation Mission Statement: We fight senior loneliness one letter at a time. Through handwritten messages of love, hope, and joy, our volunteer community brings seniors connection and improves their mental and physical health."

This July, we're headed to Camp Baker, located on a peninsula on Siltcoos Lake just outside the coastal town of Florence, Oregon. In addition to all of the already exciting activities included, scouts at Camp Baker can experience sandboarding on the Oregon Dunes, canoe outbounds on Siltcoos Lake, or take advantage of the great facilities in camp.

Next summer (August 2027) our Troop will be traveling to the Florida Keys for a weeklong adventure! Scouts will paddleboard, ocean kayak, sail, boat, fish, snorkel coral reefs, learn about marine ecosystems, travel to Big Munson Island for an overnight adventure and visit historic Key West. 

Every day is a new adventure, and we have room for you on our crew!
