Triathlon
Triathlon
During this fantastic event, the scouts pushed their limits and celebrated their spirit with a unique blend of athleticism and outdoor adventure. Not only a triathlon, we kicked things off with thrilling swimming, biking, and running races followed by a fun-filled campout with even more races. The scouts' favorite was the board game race, where they got to beat up each other (in-game) in Monopoly. Special thanks to all the parents who made sure that all scouts were completely safe during the event.
Kayaking
Kayaking
Scouts embarked on an unforgettable kayaking adventure at Tomales Bay, offering two exciting options: a day kayaking trip with a campsite stay, and a boat-in kayaking experience with an overnight on Tomales Beach. On that foggy day, both groups experienced the beauty of the bay, the thrill of paddling, and the camaraderie of a troop outing. Scouts that took the day trip continued with a quick hike, while the other group finished their route. While some scouts cooked and ate plenty of meat and veggies, others warmed water to put in their Mountain House meals. After a difficult 10 mile boating trip in two days, these scouts got a taste of what was waiting for them in August...
Scout-O-Rama
Scout-O-Rama
This Scout-O-Rama, troops from all over the area gathered to provide a fun, engaging event to all Scouters and invite people to learn about each troop. This year, our scouts set up a fantastic plastic ax throwing booth, drawing many people to give their shot at handling their favorite weap-- I mean tool. Despite the nature of the material the axes were made of, scouts did a great job of demonstrating proper throwing techniques, providing helpful tips and encouragement, keeping score and celebrating successful throws, and giving candy rewards to the best.
Parent's Day Celebration
Parent's Day Celebration
Our troop traded hiking boots for picnic tables and embarked on a delightful afternoon of games, laughter, and community combining the Mothers and Fathers Day Celebration. It was a perfect day filled with friendly competition, delicious food, and heartwarming moments. Scouts participated in tug of war, beanbag toss, Chinese poker, and a cooking competition. For these games, we had some terrific prizes: $10 gift cards for first place, $5 gift cards for second place, and snacks for third place. We took a break from the games for a special moment of gift presentations and family pictures, then enjoyed a scrumptious barbeque prepared by the parents. It was a heartwarming time to celebrate our troop and capture memories that will last a lifetime.
Whitewater Rafting
Whitewater Rafting
The sun was shining, the river was flowing, water was splashing on faces, and the rafts were navigating a particularly lively section of rapids. One raft, let's call them the "Titanic Group," was a little… enthusiastic. Maybe a little too enthusiastic. They were paddling with gusto, the guide was gleefully shouting commands, and generally having a grand old time. But a particularly turbulent rapid, combined with a moment of not-so-perfect coordination, sent the Titanic Group tilting precariously. For a split second, they seemed to defy gravity, hanging on the edge of disaster. Then, with a collective gasp and a splash that could rival a whale swimming, they went over! From the safety of the other boats, scouts could only see an upside-down boat cruising and bobbing down the river, and a singular lucky scout riding it like a surf. Surely, after this incident, there wouldn't be anything like a few snakes in the campground... Right?
Summer Camp #1
Summer Camp #1
Scouts embarked on an unforgettable adventure to the legendary Camp Emerald Bay on Catalina Island, immersing themselves in a week of merit badge mastery, rugged adventures, and the unique island experience that Emerald Bay is famous for. Boarding the USS Iowa with packs prepared to camp on the island like little soldiers, they would be battling homesickness within the 7 days. But in the meantime, with the crystal-clear waters of Catalina Island as a playground, they dove into a variety of water-related merit badges. Sailing, scuba diving, paddleboarding, you name it. Everything was there, including a daily access to the sandy beaches overlooking the navy blue Pacific Ocean.
