UPDATE: There was an issue with the reservation at Base Camp. So, this trip agenda will be used in March 2020. Instead, watch for a new post about a trip the same weekend to Omaha. We'll visit the Strategic Air Command Museum and the Henry Doorly Zoo. There will be a merit badge opportunity at the zoo.
The Troop 2000 March trip will be to Minneapolis, Minnesota. We'll be doing a variety of activities including Northern Star Scouting Basecamp, Mill City Museum, Whirlyball, Mall of America (Nickelodeon Universe), Science Museum of Minnesota and the Minnesota State Orphanage. Registration is open now.

Join Troop 2000 as they head off for an urban adventure in Minneapolis.
After our evening meal at Best Steak House, we'll head to Northern Star Scouting Basecamp,

"Pack as much adventure as you can into a 12-hour visit to Base Camp!
Lock-in programs begin at 8 p.m. and wrap up the following morning at 8
a.m.
From 8:30 p.m.- 11:30 p.m., trained Base Camp Guides will lead awesome
activities
like rock climbing and archery. We'll take a break from the activities,
halfway through the night, for a pizza party. After the activities end
at 11:30pm, it's time for a movie on the big screen! Following the
show,
participants can go to bed or get the full experience by staying up
all night!" That said, we'll need to be getting some sleep so we can function the rest of the weekend.
After breakfast Saturday morning at Mickey's Diner, were on to the Mill City Museum.
Following lunch, we're off to play Whirlyball.
At about 5pm, we'll arrive at the Mall of America where everyone will do supper on their own and we'll have 3 hour bands for Nickelodeon Universe.
That night we'll stay in a hotel with swimming Sunday morning before we leave.
Our next stop is three hours at the Science Museum of Minnesota.
On the way home, we'll stop at the Minnesota State Orphanage for a tour
