10 December, Whittier – On Saturday we all met in downtown Whittier for the annual Whittier Christmas Parade. Our troop has been invited to help start the Christmas parade as the color guard. We invite other troops and pack to help carry flags down the parade route with us. Thank you Mr. Warren for setting this up.

Calico Campout and Rocket Launch 19 November, Calico – Our campout in Calico this past November was great. It was cold but fun. We got to go on a hike through old mines, visit the ghost town on Calico and shoot off rockets. Thanks Mr. Warren (Camp) and Mr. Crisi (Rockets) for organizing this event! Originally we were going to backpack up at Mt. Lowe for the weekend. The weather was going to be bad this weekend in the mountains so we turned the backpacking trip into a practice day hike with our backpacking to test out our equipment. Thanks Mr. Marucci and Mrs. Dorner for setting this up! 15-31 October – East Whittier. Our annual troop fundraiser was held outside for the last two weeks of October at the East Whittier United Methodist Church. The pumpkins were brought in from the Navajo Nation in New Mexico with proceeds that went to support the Navajo Nation and a percentage of sales raised for Troop 985. Special thanks to Mr. Jensen for helping set this up for the troop! 7-9 October, Prado Regional Park – We had Troop-o-ree this season. Normally we would have Camp-o-ree along with 400+ other scouts from our council. Unfortunately, this year, sign-ups were low so it was cancelled. Troop 985 and three other Troops decided to move forward with a Camp-o-ree of our own so that the scouts could still experience some friendly competition. It was a good weekend to learn new things and hang out with good friends. |
