Troop 304 has had many adventures, many new Scouts, but few entries for some time.  This past weekend we camped for the first time at the Marine Corps Base Hawaii in order to orient new Scouts to their first campout and to focus on basic Scout skills for rank advancement and personal development.  This was the largest turnout we have had for some time. 

Sailing Merit Badge

This is Day 1 of the Sailing Merit Badge. We had 5 scouts start today and we accomplished the swim test, capsize recovery, and actually got a little sailing in.

Aviation Merit Badge at Hickam AFB

Half our Scouts completed their Aviation merit badge and the other half started their Aviation merit badge during our field trip to Hickam AFB. We visited the F-15 Squadron there where Tojo gave us the VIP tour.

Court of Honor Aug 09

The August Court of Honor was the first one we had in quite a few months. We passed out Merit Badges the Scouts earned throughout the summer and during summer camp. We also had several Scouts advance in rank and they were recognized accordingly.

White Plains Beach Camping

Seven Scouts spent a weekend camping at White Plains Beach/Barber's Point. The Scouts participated in fire starting and pioneering activities and fishing. Of course, all the meals the Scouts prepared were delicious.
