Troop 626 had a blast at camp Fire Mountain


The week of July 13-19, our Troop attended summer camp at Fire Mountain in Mount Vernon. We set up at the Crazy Horse camp site, a beautiful, tree-covered site bordered by a creek.

It was a good week at a good location. We had great weather and the boys had lots to do. Thirty-one boys attended and they earned 102 merit badges and 12 partials. Several boys advanced in rank at camp. Fishing on Lake Challenge was a popular activity. All fish caught by the boys were cooked over an open fire thanks to Alex L., fish chef extraordinaire.


The adult leaders had a great time as well, with entries in the Scoutmasters Chili Cook Off and Splash and Paddle Challenge. Be sure to checkout our pictures in the Troop Photo Gallery.

Kokanee salmon beneficiary of Eagle Project

On July 12, 2008, under the leadership of Life Scout, JT Farmer, our Troop worked to clear brush and blackberry bushes along a section of the stream by Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah. The brush and blackberries had overgrown the banks and prevented the spawning salmon to go up stream.
