Boy Scout Troop 405
Omaha, Nebraska
Troop 405 is a scout
run troop. All troop activities such as camping, merit badges and other programs
are determined by the scouts. The troop is chartered with Living Faith United
Methodist Church at 5310 So 182nd Ave. Meetings are held Monday nights from 7:00
to 8:00.
Our troop has an outdoor program consisting of camping, backpacking, canoeing and service projects. At least one outdoor program is held each month. Past campouts have been held at many different camps including Camps Eagle, Little Sioux and Cedars. We have also camped out at Two Rivers, Mahoney and Indian Cave State Parks, Wilson Island and rafted on the Niobrara River to name a few.
Advancements and merit badge work are generally completed during meetings and campouts.
Each
year the troop travels to a regional summer camp. Our past camp adventures include:
Many
Point Scout Camp - Minnesota
San Isabel Scout Ranch - Colorado
Camp Mack
Morris - Tennessee
Tesomas Scout Camp - Wisconsin
Boundary Waters of Minnesota
