This year, our Fall campout will be at the Hawk Ridge Campsite at Lake Chabot. The campout is optional, but highly recommended. You can have almost the full experience by attending just the daytime/evening activities if you are still hesitant about camping overnight. We earn several advancements at the campout, usually two optional and one required.

We need to order the T-shirts by the end of the day Tuesday so that we will have them in time for the campout. Please email us your scout's T-Shirt size if you haven't done so already. Anyone that does not provide a T-shirt size will receive our over-sized guess.

Paper Rockets - Wednesday August 27 - MPR 6pm

Message:

Join us for our annual paper rocket launch kick-off.

At 6:05-ish we will have a quick opening ceremony and a brief demonstration of how to build the rockets. Art supplies and construction materials will be out on the tables. We will have a couple of older scouts roaming around to help with construction as needed.

When most of the rockets have been completed, we will wander out to the black top for our launches.

We’ll need 3-4 parent volunteers to help supervise the air pumps, and the younger scouts will need help pumping as well. We also need 1 or 2 standing bicycle air pumps with pressure gauges. Please let me know if you have one you can bring. If we don’t have enough volunteers, a couple of lucky parents will be recruited from the audience.
