Troop Fund Raiser
Annually (October/November) we sell Holiday Wreaths and Popcorn to supplement the cost of operating the troop. The proceeds are split between the Scout and the Troop.
Additional Fund Raising Events: Each scout has the opportunity to earn money at various Troop fund raiser events. Money earned is kept in the scouts name towards Summer Camp and High Adventure. 2/3 of the profit goes to the boys and 1/3 goes to the troop some example fund raisers include grilling burgers, Hot dogs at Fresh Seasons Market we have also went to Cub foods to bag groceries.
Troop Outings
We do weekend camping and outdoor activities monthly from September to June. Participating in the camping outings is important for rank advancement and is strongly encouraged. The Troop Calendar lists all the Troop outings and activities for the year. These activities are selected by the Scouts at our Leadership Weekend planning meeting in the summer.

Campouts
Every month we try to go to a camping trip somewhere that is local, for some examples we have our Movie weekend where we watch movies all night, and our rock Climbing in Taylors Falls. At the Campout we try to have some learning experiences during the camp out. We have lots of fun Camping!
History
Troop 207 has been active since 1927. We teach our Scouts to be leaders, to set the example, to stand up for what they know is right. We want our Scouts to be honest, to set high goals for themselves, and to be achievers.
We have always been fortunate to have strong parent involvement in our program and this has been essential to our success. No amount of time or effort is too small. Simply attending occasional meetings and/or weekend outings to assist with the supervision of scouts during planned activities is a great benefit to your son and the other scouts. Many other low impact, behind the scenes activities are available as well. Please consider joining us too. Both you and your son will enjoy the time together.
