WEBELOS WOODS 2010!!

Our second annual Webelos Woods event was a great success, with good reports coming back to us from other Packs. Our scouts are now experienced in the setting up and management of these events, so the adults were able to meet with potential new scouts while the current scouts ran the events. Awesome job, scouts!

Zach's Star Service Project

A few weeks ago, the troop met up at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church and finished replacing the landscaping borders for Zach's service project. Half the work was done earlier in the year for Matt's service project.

Justin and Stewart help transport the wood by balancing the trailer.


The work begins....



Mr. Redmond takes the liberty to help out



Daniel tackles three boards by himself and....



Proves completely successful!

MUD CAVES IN REAL TIME!

ARE you wishing you could have gone with the scouts to the Mud Caves? Are you pining away at home, just wishing that you too could be climbing in those caves!? Well, worry no more, because your high tech scoutmaster is sending home pics real time.

Looks like great weather and fun times!

Good luck Corey

MUD CAVES CANCELED AND RESCHEDULED

We are sorry to report that due to a lack of adult chaperones the Mud Caves campout is canceled for this weekend. We thank Mr. Wright and Mr Adams for coming forward and being willing to chaperone, but we were still short for the 3 that are required for outings so we had to cancel.

The good news is:

"The Mud Caves camp out is officially rescheduled for Oct. 9-10. Your patrol leaders will be in touch with you shortly regarding planning."

kayaking on Mission Bay

The boys are at it again! The troop spent its first activity after the summer on the calm waters of mission bay. The kayaks were rented from Fiesta Island; the boys got not only kayaks, but a small sailboat! Yay :)! They spent a good two hours on the water, well most of them anyway. Daniel and Stewart got stuck with trying to sail the sailboat upwind to the docking area, and had to be rescued by the hero of the day, Andy Adams; they had to push it back all the way, ha! The sailboat not only caused Daniel and Stewart trouble but Mrs. Redmond got a little wet too when Jordan jumped overboard after trying to ram some kayaks.

Hi,

As you can see I have redesigned the blog, now the scout oath and law are on the top, the blog archive is on the right, and the B.S.A. links are on the very bottom of the blog. That's all, thanks!
