Troop 626 Open House

Today our troop held an open house to open the opportunity for cub scouts or others to join our troop. Each patrol did an activity relating to scouting with those who wanted to join our troop, while the adults held a power point session for the parents. All in all it was a blast!

Tree lot clean up

We have funded the troop through Christmas tree sales and the Newport Swim and Tennis club were generous enough to allow us to sell our trees there. And to show our gratitude to the Newport Swim and Tennis club we rake and dispose of any trash or leaves around the area. The whole troop worked tirelessly throughout the clean up.

Tolt Macdonald campout

From October 26 to October 28^th a total of 19 scouts and 5 adults from troop 626 camped at Tolt Macdonald for two nights. While there Mr. Marring organized a wonderful orienteering course for the scouts giving them the opportunity to learn how to use a compass and map. On the second night heavy rain poured outside but luckily the troop came prepared and set up their rain covers the day before.

All in all everybody enjoyed the camp and was a great opportunity for scout skills to the younger scouts.

VFW Service Project

Today, Troop 626 did a yard clean-up service project supervised by Grandpa Dan at the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars), up near Microsoft. The scouts raked leaves, swept, and generally cleaned up the grounds so it would look nice for the Veterans Day dinner. 

At the end of the day the VFW was kind enough to serve homemade pizza for the troop’s work.
