At Boulder Creek Scout Reservation, scouts participated in a two-night Gold Rush Campout. They participated in numerous activities including archery, bullet casting, candle-making, gold panning, and tomahawk!

Last weekend, the Troop stayed at a campsite near the American River. Some scouts worked on completing requirements for their Cooking merit badge. In the morning, everybody went white water rafting, and some even jumped off a cliff into the river!

This year's High Adventure trip brought Scouts to Sea Base in Florida and the Virgin Islands. They enjoyed learning to sail, snorkeling, day hikes, and more fun activities!

On July 6th-7th, the scouts camped out at Sugarloaf State Park in Sonoma County. They spent Saturday completing Scout skills and went ziplining on Sunday for a 90-minute tour!

Although this year's trip to Wente Scout Reservation was cut short, the scouts still had so much fun in the time that they were there. When they weren't working on merit badges, scouts were able to enjoy fishing, swimming, playing card games, hiking the Kali-Ama, rifle shooting, archery, or just hanging out around the campsite.
