Twelve Points Festival

 

Twelve Points Festival, at the Johnson County Fairgrounds, is a celebration for Hawkeye Area Council. The event is to recognize all of the Eagle Scouts and other award recipients from the last two years. There will be several events at the festival you can check out outside of your shift, such as archery, BB guns, and crafts.  

If any scouts (and adults) are looking for an hour of service on July 18 between 10am-4pm, Troop 2000 will be cooking hot dogs, hamburgers, and veggie kabobs for those attending.  Sign up for a time slot here:

4th of July Parade

At the 4th of July Parade in Coralville, Iowa scouts have the opportunity to march at the front of the parade carrying the flags. Our troop, along with two others, are asking for Scouts to sign up and take part. We will need 4 or 5 to carry flags and the rest will switch out so one person doesn't have to carry a one flag the whole time. The scouts will be able to march with the flags to show good community spirit, the solidity of our Scout program, participation, and leadership. Each troop can carry their own troop flag as a part of this procession and the front of the Parade.

Isle Royale Shakedown Campout

Scouts who are participating in the Troop's 2021 High Adventure to Isle Royale will be completing their first "shakedown" June 11 - June 13 at Backbone State Park. Shakedowns are intended to not only be a conditioning exercise but also give individuals the opportunity to “shake out” equipment that they may or may not need.
