Recipe of the Week

Chicken Dinner in a Hot Bag
This one's not a dutch oven recipe but is real good.

Ingredients
    • chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
    • red potatoes
    • corn on the cob
    • 1 medium onion
    • 1 package dry onion soup mix
    • 1 tablespoon flour
    • 4 tablespoons butter or margarine
    • large size Reynolds Hot Bags

  • Preparation:
         Dice onion and cut potatoes into bite size pieces. Shuck corn and cut into halves, if desired. Put everything into the Reynolds Hot Bag and fold the opened end twice to seal. Put it on top of the grill or on the tri-pod grill surface about five inches above the fire. Turn the bag carefully after about 15 minutes and cook another 15 minutes on the second side. Open the bag carefully so the steam doesn't burn you! Enjoy your meal and the easy clean up!

National to Launch New Campaign

A New Recruitment Campaign

A new national recruitment campaign is coming, and it will motivate more young people to join Scouting. It will energize your staff and volunteers, parents, and kids. Our new campaign will give you the right tools to find and create tomorrow's leaders.

The campaign slogan will be "Words to Live By" and encompasses the 12 Points of the Scout Law. For more information and to see the flyers for the different levels of Scouting go to the BSA National website.

Welcome to Troop 175

Boy Scout Troop 175 has been serving the Blue Springs, MO community since 1992. Since then, our program has helped over 50 boys attain the rank of Eagle Scout. Our Troop has an active outdoor program that includes monthly campouts, summer camp at H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation, and high-adventure trips to places such as Colorado, Philmont Scout Ranch, and the Boundary Waters of northern Minnesota. These programs offer our young men unique experiences and are designed to be safe and fun while teaching them the values and morals they will need in order to become valuable assets and good citizens in both our community and nation.

Our Troop meets on Monday evenings from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. at the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection located at 1433 NW R.D. Mize Rd. (on the northeast corner of R.D. Mize Rd. and 15th St.) in Blue Springs, MO.



How Do I Join????

Boy Scouting is open to any boy between the ages of 11 and 18. For more information please feel free to drop us an email by clicking HERE or visit one of our weekly meetings.


How Can Parents Help???
 
Active, committed Leaders and parents are the heart and soul of a successful Troop and our Troop is no different. We welcome any and all new adult leaders who are willing to give of their time. Whether it is in a simple volunteer position or in a leadership role, you don't need to have any special abilities to make a huge difference in a young man's life. If you choose to become a leader, we will make sure that you are provided with any necessary training in order for you to perform in a variety of leadership roles.
