Night at the Drive-in!
If you’re looking to see a movie, don’t miss our drive-in movie night on August 14. The movie will be determined as we get a little closer to the date but will be scout-appropriate. Please save the date; more details to follow. This promises to be a wonderful evening!
Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops (ILST)
ILST has been scheduled for August 16, but the specific time and place are still being determined. All youth troop-level leadership should expect to attend this very important training session that will be taught by Drew. Please save the date if you are in leadership.
Courts of Honor
We have not one, not two, but THREE courts of honor in August! You will be receiving invitations for two separate Eagle courts of honor, and we hope to see everyone at the Summer Court of Honor, where we hand out awards and recognitions from our busy summer of activities. There is a lot to celebrate so don’t miss out!
- August 15: Nicky Belt’s Eagle Court of Honor will take place at Cordova City Hall at 5PM. Look out for invitations in the coming weeks!
- August 22: Triple Eagle CoH! Join us at our home church to celebrate three of our newest Eagle Scouts: Lucas, Nathan, and Eric will celebrate at our home church. More details to follow!
- August 24: Troop Summer Court of Honor
Family Campout
On Labor Day Weekend, September 4-7, we will hold our family campout in Monterey. This is the same weekend as the IndyCar Laguna Seca race, which is always a thrilling event for those of you who are motorheads. Save the date, and see Dustin for more information. More details to come!
Since I will be at the race that weekend, I am looking for an adult leader to lead the Pathfinders hike at Pinnacles National Park. If you are interested in leading this excellent hike, please let me know! This is one of the furthest hikes from Sacramento in the Pathfinders set so this is a great opportunity to complete a hike that you might not otherwise experience.
San Francisco & USS Pampanito
Finally, another September event is coming up that you should check out. Thanks to Nathan, we have the opportunity to spend the night on the USS Pampanito, a WWII submarine moored in San Francisco. Because of the special nature of this event, it is a bit more expensive than a typical campout. Make sure to sign up early or you may miss out on this awesome adventure!
- September 26-27
- $80 per participant, plus money for food.
- Sign up at the Troop meeting
There are so many upcoming events to choose from. We hope to see you out there and active!
