Labor Day Weekend Biking Outing

This Labor Day Weekend, some scouts went to a bike trip. On Friday night, the scouts arrived at the Tinkham Campground, and the next morning, they went to the Summit East Parking Lot. With their bikes, they traveled more than 16 miles through the John Wayne Trail, arriving back at the campground. During this, they got to ride through the Snoqualmie Tunnel, about 2.3 miles long. After they finished the bike ride, they went back to the campsite, cooked their dinner, and went home on Sunday.

Owen Dickson's Eagle Project

Two Saturdays June 9th and June 16th we had Owen Dickson’s eagle project.

The project was basically a food drive for hopelink. The job of the volunteers was to deliver flyers to the designated houses for the first weekend

and collect food donations during the second weekend.

Overall I was surprised by the amount of people that donated food.
After seeing all the donated food we had collected it really forced me to realize how much we can do together as a community.

Cooking Merit Badge Campout at Tolt-MacDonald

On June 7-9 about 10 scouts and 4 leaders went to a cooking campout at Tolt MacDonald park. There we made various types of food, depending on the group. Our group made a stew on Friday night, and noodles for lunch the next day. After we made our foods, some of us went on a hike to explore the park. We had alot of free time, and played some card games to pass the time. Overall it was a fun experience, with lots of time to cook, and lots of time to do other things.

Camporee 2013

On May 3-5 Troop 626 Scouts participated in the annual Camporee at Ensign Ranch.

At Camporee we were lucky to have warm and sunny skies and absolutely no rain! For those of you who don’t know Camporee is an annual event organized by the Order of the Arrow where scouts have fun, preforming skits, practicing essential scout skills and passing different ropes course challenges. The day is split apart into two sections, the first part of the day field events, and the second part of the day high adventure. Field events is basically where you go around the field and are faced with different types of scenarios that force you and your team to work together to overcome. This part of the day focuses on testing your scouting knowledge and skills. High adventure is where scouts work together to overcome obstacles in rope challenges. This part of the day is mainly focused on your teamwork abilities. After this we have the campfire, where scouts gather around at the camp-fire bowl and different patrols perform skits for each other. Overall I think this was a fun, bonding experience between scouts and I would definitely do this again.
