Time to Plan for Chawanakee

With our annual visit to Camp Chawanakee right around the corner it is time think up some new camp projects. Part of the fun of Camp Chawanakee is to build up pioneering projects from rope and poles.

All scouts are asked to google and search the internet for possible camp projects. Find ones you like and present them to the troop.

Here is one site : http://www.pioneeringmadeeasy.co.uk/

Have fun!

Facebook Group

There has been some confusion on the Facebook group page. The facebook group is a group page where our members can communicate to each other. Scouts, Alumni and Parents can join the group. we have the group closed to public so admission must be requested. Mr. Chadwick and Mr. Nishimoto are administrators.

On the group page you can post pictures and make comments about our activities. We can also use the discussion capabilities of the group to plan outings and other activities.

There is also now a link to the Facebook Group in our link section. You can also go to our group page by clicking this link: Go to our Facebook Group

Yosemite Campout September 11th - 13th

Our next Scheduled Campout is the weekend of September 11-13th. We are planning on visiting Yosemite Valley. We are Leaving Friday night so we can Hike Half Dome on Saturday. There will be a Service Project for the Park on Sunday. Mr. Magnuson is the Tour Leader for the Campout.

This Campout has been designated a Family Campout. Family members are always invited to participate in our Scout outings but this Campout is well Suited for Family Participation.

The Hike for Half Dome is considered a 12 hour Hike. Please plan accordingly Remember the Boy Scout Motto, "Be Prepared." The Weather lately has been quite erratic plan for it. The hike is very challenging, If you are not used to hike you should be walking daily to build up your leg muscles for the hike. Remember to bring the appropriate water carrier or canteen.

Please Be Prepared to let the Troop if you are going at the meeting on Monday, August 31.
