Pumpkin Carving
On October 21, 2014, our troop carved pumpkins for a meeting! It was a lot of fun, and there were many cool designs, including a snowman, a cat and many others. It was a little cold outside, but in the end it was worth it. Everyone took home their pumpkins, and used them for Halloween.

Cycling Merit Badge 22 Mile Ride
www.Troop626.org
This summer a half-dozen scouts from the troop worked on completing the mountain bike portion of the cycling merit badge. In order to complete the requirements, scouts had to ride several different distances, the longest of which was 22 miles long. This ride was completed on 8/24 and was a grueling, 6-hour ride. They started by riding the entire Grand Ridge Trail system from the bottom up to Duthie Hill mountain bike park, where they took the Boot Camp trail, then they rode up to Cascade Ridge elementary school where they took a short pit stop. After that they continued to Soaring Eagle park, where they rode the Pipeline trail to its end. From there, they turned around and headed back to the bottom of the Grand Ridge Trail the way they came, stopping again at Cascade Ridge elementary school for a short rest. Thanks to Mr. Hanley for organizing this fun but tiring ride!

Camp Fife
www.Troop626.org
Every year Troop 626 goes to summer camp, and this year we went to Camp Fife. Summer camp offers a good chance to earn merit badges, and most people got 3 or 4. It was a fun experience and the best day was adventure day. Adventure day is on Wednesday, no one had merit badge classes and the entire day was troop time. So we all hiked around the lake, stopping to swim and canoe. The food was good and we all had fun, so I hope we can go back.

Scouting for Food
www.Troop626.org
On March 15th and 22nd, scouts met at St. Madeleine Sophie to participated in our annual Scouting for Food event, which benefits Hopelink. It was organized by our assistant scout master, Mr. Chu. On the first day they drove around the Newport neighborhood handing out flyers so the next week they could come and collect any food donations. All told, the troop collected 450 lbs. of food that goes to families in need.

Dmytro Banin Eagle Project
Hey guys, as some of you may now, I had my Eagle Project recently on April 19 and April 27.
We collected food donations for the Seattle Humane Society and overall came up with 300$ worth in donations!
We were passing out flyers in the Newport Shores area one weekend, and the next continued to collect the donations.
I would like to thank everyone who helped out, and made this project possible. There were heap loads of donations and without everyone from the troop who came to help out whether they were a driver or a scout this project would not have been possible.
Thank you everyone for a great two weekends of community service!

Igor Banin Eagle Scout Project.
On February 8th I had my Eagle Scout project. A total of 16 people came to help me put together and implement 9 birdhouses at Hazelwood Park.
The project started off at 9am, where we put together the birdhouses at the Lake Boren Park shelter. It was a little chilly, but we finished putting all the birdhouses together by 10 am. About half the people left and the other half got into a carpool to get to Hazelwood Park. By the time we got everyone who was left over to Hazelwood Park it was about 10:30 am, we quickly got the gear and set out to walk the trail and put up all the birdhouses. We finished putting up the last birdhouse and got back to the parking lot about noon.
We then had some pizza and everyone got in their cars and drove off home.
Thanks to everyone who came to this Eagle Project, all the help was greatly appreciated.
Here is a map of all the birdhouses.

Tiki Torch Snow Outing
On January 18 through 19, a group of scouts went to Snowqualmie pass for their annual Tiki Torch campout. There they set up tents, and went sledding for most of the day. For dinner, they cooked their meal with brand new stoves, and sat by the fire. A few went out on a short hike to explore the rest of the terrain, and others went sledding. Went they woke up the next day, they took down their tents and left. Overall the campout was a success, and it was very fun, except for the cold.
