Last weekend, our troop visited the USS Iowa. There, we received a tour of a few of the numerous rooms aboard the ship. Among some of those we visited were the war room, where strategic decisions would be made, the kitchen and mess, and the room President Franklin D. Roosevelt resided in while being transported to a conference between the United States, United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union. We even got to see the bathtub that was installed to accommodate Roosevelt during his journey.

After the tour, we went back to the mess for dinner and got to sleep in the bunks used by the sailors throughout the many years that this ship has been in service. Visiting this historic battleship was an unforgettable experience that not only provided us with a glimpse into the lives of those who served aboard this ship but also allowed us to have fun while doing so.​

This weekend, our scouts took a trip to the channel islands for a backpacking trip. They had to take a ferry to the island, and there, the scouts hiked around the island. They saw shores and wildlife throughout their trip.

Recently, our troop visited Calico for a camping trip. There the boys did some hikes around abandoned mineshafts and caves in the area. They visited one of the historic towns nearby. Additionally, they launched model rockets for the Space Exploration merit badge. Overall, it was a fun experience!

This weekend, our troop has opened a fundraising pumpkin patch. Come check us out from 9AM to 7PM on weekends, and from 12PM to 7PM on weekdays. We have a great assortment of pumpkins fit for the season!​

Today, we awarded the scouts who achieved ​milestones in their scouting adventures. In the past six months, these scouts earned rank advancements and completed merit badges. After we passed out rank advancements, one of our scoutmasters gave us an inspirational speech.

This weekend, our troop participated in our council's camporee. Its a camping trip where many troops from throughout the council gather together for a weekend of fun competitive scout games. Everybody put in their best efforts for the games and activates. At the end of the day, our troop won the the troop shovel, and everyone had a lot of fun!

Family camp is a camping trip where we get to bring our family, our own gear and food, and get to relax. It's not a trip about doing rank advancements or merit badges, but instead it's about hanging out with your friends and family while camping! Everybody had so much fun while fishing and cooking. We got to go on a hike, go fishing, and had a potluck. There was also a tree that was super fun to climb! We did have to leave a day early becuause of the approaching hurricane, but we had just enough time to have a lot of fun!

This weekend, we held our Advancement Weekend. This is a 2 day camp-out that focuses on ranking up the younger scouts and providing a teaching experience for the older scouts. Once we got to the sight, we set up our tents, had dinner, and went to bed. The next morning, we were up at 6:30 to have breakfast and begin our advancements. A little bit after lunch, we had a water fight and had a lot of fun! Everybody got to advance either their rank or their teaching skills and had a great time doing it! 

For a whole week, our troop went to Camp Emerson for our annual summer camp. There, we were able to talk to other troops, play games, swim, complete merit badges, and more! We also got to preform skits infront of everybody at one of the campfires! The food was delicious and everybody had a great time playing Gaga Ball in their free time. In the end, everyone got to complete merit badges which helps them advance their rank and had a very fun time! Thank you Camp Emerrson for giving us a great summer camp!

Our troop had a great time honoring those who have served in the military and those who have sacraficed their lives for a brighter future.
