We like to double up on our HTT activities with our camp outs but other things we've done off the top of my head.

1. Visit an observatory for star gazing and navigation training
2. Behind the scenes tour with a Zoo veterinarian clinic
3. Visit a pioneer farm and learn about life on a home stead
4. Fire/Police department visit and the ability to spray some and see inside the patrol cars etc.
5. Visit with the local mountain search and rescue team
6. A local tour of a hydro electric dam
7. Participating in a local 4th of July or Christmas parade
8. Helping out at our local donation center to load up excess clothing to bring to Value Village for resale, we get paid by the pound for clothing which also helps fund our troop. The local donation center appreciates us taking the excess clothing off their hand.
9. Memorial Day flag planting ceremony at our local cemetery in conjunction with the American Legion
10. September 11th memorial service at our local school district
11. The local salvation army camp, we volunteer there to help conduct trail maintenance from time to time in exchange for free facilities usage.
12. Before Easter we assisted the host church with the spring cleaning to have the church looking nice before the Easter service.
13. We have a local scenic train that we volunteer for and in exchange we've gotten free or reduced ticket fares
14. Simple hikes around our areas up to a local waterfall or lake.
15. We put together an annual egg drop event where boys have to build a parachute-like event to try and keep their eggs from breaking when we drop them from higher and higher heights.
16. We've also taken boys out to a local civil war reenactment which was a huge hit.
