Upcoming Troop Meetings:

• Our next Troop meeting is on June 6 at 7:00 p.m. This is our final meeting at John Muir until school restarts in the fall. Duct Tape Patrol is doing flags. They should arrive 15 minutes early to prepare.
• We are moving the start time for meeting taking place at San Bruno City Park to 6:30 (since it starts getting dark at 8:00, especially during the second half of the summer). We'll return to our 7:00 start times when we return to John Muir at the end of August.
• Our next PLC meeting is on August 7 at 6:00 p.m. We'll be covering meeting plans for June and July - I know many Scouts families have vacation plans during this time - PLC members should know their availability 

Please remember the Troop meeting start times (6:30 in San Bruno City Park and 7:00 at John Muir). PLC members should be there 10-15 minutes early for last minute instructions. I realize some of our Scouts have another activity immediately prior to the Troop meeting, but we ask everyone else to be courteous and be on time to the start of the meeting. 

Upcoming Events:

• We have multiple Eagle project work days on the calendar - please keep your eye on the calendar for those!
• 2026 National Jamboree sign-ups are now open: https://scoutingevent.com/031-2026NationalJamboree

Summer Events:

After Summer Camp and Northern Tier, we're planning three more Troop campouts (these are all still in the planning phase - details for these will follow):

• July 31 - August 3: Backpacking in the Sierras.
• August 11 - August 14: "Trail to First Class" campout near Half Moon Bay.
• August 23 - August 24: River Rafting on the American River.

At the end of April, a group of Scouts drove up to Boulder Creek Scouts Reservation for two nights at the annual Camporee. The tents--and the scouts--got a little wet, but it was a lot of fun!

On Saturday, the Scouts went on a hike at Pulgas Ridge, which is part of the Foggy Trail series. Some used this hike to earn a special patch once 3 out of the 9 hikes in the series are completed. Other scouts trained for Northern Tier, adding extra weight to make it a little more challenging!

On Saturday, Dante led scouts to build three wooden benches, construct a wooden coffee table, and paint three garden boxes for St. Roberts Elementary School. The finished projects were great!

The Mt Wittenberg trail, approximately 5 miles with 1300 feet of elevation gain, was a moderate hike that the scouts were able to partake in. They did great navigating where they needed to go with their maps and compasses!

This year's Scouting for Food drive was a huge success. Thank you so much to all the scouts who helped donate, pass out fliers, and pick up food!
