Flaming Gorge is one of our favorite summer camp locations. It is unique in that the troop puts on the entire camp. We bring all of our own food. Parents serve as camp counselors for all the merit badges that are offered. Making Flaming Gorge a success is a logistical challenge!

The number of American flags on the gravesite's is very humbling and beautiful.  On Friday, May 24th, Troop 171 will be placing American flags on the military veterans’ graves at Mountain View Cemetery to honor the veterans as part of the Memorial Day Weekend activities. This is a great opportunity to support our community in honoring the over 800 veterans who are buried in the cemetery. Location: Mountain View Cemetery (located north of Iris, between 30th Street and Foothills Parkway) at the cemetery buildings in the northwest corner of the cemetery property; access is easiest from Kalmia, the road on the north side of the cemetery property. Someone from the Troop will be at the entrance to direct you where to park. Uniform: Please wear your Scout uniform shirts. The Scouts, Scoutmaster staff and parents who did this last year did a great job! A number of family members of veterans who were visiting the cemetery thanked us for placing the flags and said it really meant a great deal to them to see the Scouts doing this. TROOP 171 SUPPORT OF NATIONAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP TRAINING Last year, we had multiple Scouts attend NYLT at Big Horn and at Ben Delatour Scout Ranch. We strongly support any Scout wishing to build their leadership skills. These courses are specifically designed for Scouts who have or will have a leadership role in the troop. After attending the local NYLT, Scouts can increase their skills by attending a national version of leadership training at Philmont. This is not the normal Philmont backpacking trek. This is an advanced leadership experience taught at the Philmont Training Center in Cimarron , NM. Over time, we have had three Scouts attend this conference. More info and links at Leadership Training. NRA TRAINING - RIFLE MERIT BADGE COUNSELOR CERTIFICATION Several merit badges require speciality certification from BSA. Rifle and Shotgun Merit Badges are included in this requirement. To help us meet this requirement, Longs Peak Council runs this course at Ben Delatour Scout Ranch.
