Troop 2000 is a large, active Scouts BSA boy troop located in Coralville, Iowa. Troop members come from Iowa City, Coralville, North Liberty, and Johnson County. We are proudly chartered by the American Legion Walter Johnson Post 721.
The scouts held the Lake Geode campout on November 23rd. It was located at Geode State Park near Lowell Iowa. Our campsite was large with a pavilion closer to the lake. The main event of the campout was an amazing race-type competition with a couple of teams of 2-3 people. Some of the events included navigation using a compass, counting change, and starting a fire to burn a string. These challenges were all meant to improve a certain skill.
The campout at Palisades State Park was held on October 17th-19th. We came up to Palisades on Saturday morning and left on Sunday. The goal of the campout was to make some more complicated meals while camping. Some meals that we made were nachos, ice cream, and chicken quesadillas. We also took a hike along the trail at Palisades and took some very nice photos with the fall trees.
