We are pleased to offer this resource to all members of the Troop 100 Family. If you are looking for information about Troop 100 we invite you to read about our troop in the About Us page and use the Contact Us page if you have more questions.
Troop 100 has been guiding young men for 60 years and making an impact on their lives as they in turn make an impact on the community through their progress in the Scouting program. Today Troop 100 has had over 160 Eagle Scouts join the ranks of so many before them and we look forward to having you join them as you set your sights on your future growth.

Chockstone Climbing(go.climbing.com) - Twenty year safety record in the park - will provide climbing shoes, harness and helmet. Please know your shoe size when we meet Wednesday and sign parental releases. Your personal climbing gear is welcome on inspection if you prefer. Climbing areas to be suitable for all skill level and ages.
They welcome all experience levels. No previous climbing experience or special training is required to enjoy a fun, rock climbing experience. Rock climbing is more balance, footwork, leg strength and less emphasis on upper body strength. If it is your first time rock climbing, you need only a general level of fitness similar for any outdoor activity.
Bring water(2 liters minimum each person for hot days). Water bottles can be filled at the parking area of Smith Rock State Park. Troop will provide a hearty sack lunch and packable snacks. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and perhaps a sun hat advised. Bring a backpack; large enough to include, water, lunch, snacks, as well as personal climbing gear (shoes, harness, helmet). If you do not have a suitable backpack, the troop can provide one. Let us know ahead of time. Extra clothing in case of colder weather, especially early in the morning.
Dress for the season and forecasted weather. Wear clothing appropriate for being active outdoors. Tights, loose fitting pants, or sweatpants are appropriate. T-shirt, sport top. Extra long sleeve layers even in the summer as the shade in the mornings can be cool. Rugged outdoor footwear is recommended such as hiking shoes or tennis shoes. Open toed shoes and sandals are not advised.
The park is signed on Highway 97 and three miles east of Terrebonne. Crooked River Ranch is well signed just north of Terrebone to the West. Smith Rock State Park has a $5.00 Entrance Fee. The parking pass can be bought at one of the credit card self pay kiosks. The kiosk accepts cash and credit cards. An annual Oregon State Park pass works as well.

We will have many merit badges to present at this Court of Honor from the February Merit Badge Fair!

They may be tax deductible in some cases.)
Scouts may also bring spare change to throw in the hat for the World Friendship Fund which goes to support the World Scouting Movement in many countries around the globe. The troop splits the Summer Camp fees evenly between troop funds and the Scout's Activity Allowance, so the family cost of Camp with Troop 100 at Camp Meriwether and/or Camp Fire Mountain this summer is typically limited to Trading Post spending money and any cost to update the Scout's Medical Form so that it is current within one year of the camp dates.
