Mini-Klondike at Rheinblick

 Since our Troop couldn't participate in the TAC Klondike in Switzerland this year, we decided to hold a "Mini-Klondike" at Rheinblick to test our Scouts winter survival skills. We also invited another local troop and our bridging WEBELOS to join in on some fun-filled activities!

 The split up all patrols to incorporate the WEBELOS and our younger Scouts and each patrol had to go thru different stations like First Aid and Map skills......

 Team-building was very important to move the sled over the dry and snow-free ground at Rheinblick. All Scouts did extremely well and enjoyed a wonderful January afternoon at our local camp-site.

One patrol with their sled and equipment, awaiting the next task! Good job, Troop 107!

Eagle Court of Honor

Boy Scout Troop 107 conducted an Eagle Court of Honor for Ben Barnhart, a Senior of the Wiesbaden High school, on Jan. 17th, 2012. The Hainerberg Chapel was filled with Boy Scouts, friends & family and 21 other Eagle Scouts in attendance. Ben's Eagle Project was to fix up the MWR air rifle range in the Tony Bass Fitness Center to better the military community.

Historical Hike in Bastogne, Belgium

 67th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, December 10, 2011. It was freezing cold at the start of the hike but we were thankful it wasn't raining!

 Looking a bit tired at the 6 mile mark about half way through the historical trail.

 The boys were thrilled to see all the historical military vehicles and reenactment soldiers from WWII.

The boys took turns holding the equipment in original trenches and were able to experience the life of a soldier during WWII.
