Once again, huge congratulatory hand pounds to SPL Marvin Ordonez and the Patrol Leaders/Youth Leaders of Troop 301 who participated in the annual planning session on 8/26. The calendar draft is being reviewed by the Troop Committee, and will hopefully be sent soon. Some dates are TBD (To be determined), as we cannot make some reservations yet (i.e. Yosemite), and must participate in some lotteries (i.e. Emerald Bay).
Below are some sign-ups and informational morsels, please read through this post, as if you do not, you will be wondering “Whoa. . .how did I miss that?!?!” Also, it will help us plan numbers/if the trip is feasible.
Also, if we all help the Scouts with these trips a little, we can do so much for our sons, and no one person is overwhelmed. . .nor do we “Drop the ball” for things our sons want to do. Let’s help them realize these dreams.
Yosemite Trek/Day Hikes will likely be the week of 8/14 (pending reservations). Scouts and Scouters interested/wanting to apply for this trip should be doing the Troop day hikes and must do the June 13th Scripps Ranch to the Sea (“In a strong manner”).
Please e-mail Dr Bryon ASAP if you are interested in this trip.
Yosemite Trek/Backpack: These are folks looking ahead to a possible Philmont Scout Ranch/New Mexico in 2011 (one must be 14 to go to Philmont, although there is not age limit on this trip to Yosemite). Applicants will most likely already have done the Yosemite Trek/Day hikes. This trip will likely be the week of 8/21 (pending reservations). Scouts and Scouters interested/wanting to apply for this trip should be doing the Troop day hikes and must do the June 13th Scripps Ranch to the Sea (“In a strong manner”), as well as complete the backpack prep weekend (Jan. 29-31).
Please e-mail Dr Bryon ASAP if you are interested in this trip.
