BSA Troop 313, Northfield, MN

04/13/2026

Troop 313 spent the weekend at Whitewater SP and broke into 3 groups to do some hiking, fishing, and exploring. We braved the rain that came through. We all had a good time, and the only complaint was the cold on and off rain and overnight storms, and a wet tent or two. But a lot of fun. Definitely would do it again!

Troop 313 will be hosting two scout swim events this spring, Saturdays April 25 and May 30, 2026.
Both events will be from 12-3:30pm but often merit badges finish earlier.
Merit badges start at 12pm All other options begin around 12:45pm
We will offer swimming and lifesaving merit badges, mile swim, Cub Scout swimming adventures, Scouts BSA swimming rank requirements, and summer camp swim tests.
This will be held at the Northfield Middle School 2200 Division St S, Northfield, MN

We are also looking for Swimming and Lifesaving merit badge councilors to help with the events

So happy to hear they loved our Valentines!

A huge thank you to Northfield BSA Troop #313 for creating and donating thoughtful Valentine’s cards for our residents at Ruth's House and Sarah's House. Your kindness brought so many smiles and reminded the women and children we serve that they are seen, valued, and cared for.

We helped with and participated in a few events this weekend for the Northfield Jesse James Days 2025

Rotary bike tour water station, VFW breakfast, and parade.

Thanks to all the scouts leaders for helping. Lots of community engagement and lots of fun!

I think we forgot to take pictures of the breakfast, but had a good turnout of scouts helping.
