Each year Unit 957 holds the many of the following events, and more: Upcoming Events Family Camp - Friday, June 1 - Sunday, June 3, 2012
Family Camp is a great time for the whole family! It gives us the opportunity to play, learn, explore, teach, eat, and worship together as a family with other scouting families in Pack/Troop 957. Even if you have never camped before there are plenty of helping hands to pitch in to make your weekend fun for everyone. Lots of down time is scheduled for you to spend with your kids. Hikes, games, and tasks are always available if you want to participate or just watch. This year family camp will again be held at El Shaddai Christian Ranch in Moscow Mills, MO.

Past Events Water Rocket Derby - Friday, July 22, 2011 - 6:45 PM Have you ever wondered what would happened if you filled a 2-liter bottle with water, pressurized the bottle, and let it fly? Well, that's what happens at the Water Rocket Derby. Here we'll learn first-hand about Newton's Three Laws of Motion. We normally hold this event in the summertime. Raingutter Regatta - Friday, September 23, 2011 - 6:00 PM The Raingutter Regatta is a model sailboat racing event where the scouts build the sailboats and race against each other in raingutters. The sailboats are powered by the scouts blowing on the sail. The sailboat kit consists of a seven-inch long balsa wood hull, a 6-1/2 inch mast, plastic sail, plastic rudder, and metal keel. The kits are handed out to the scouts early in the scouting year.
