On 5 July, two Scouts and two Adults from Troop 304 traveled to Maui via the Superferry, then rucksac marched approximately 12 miles to an overnight campsite near Camp Maluhia. The following morning, we took another 10 mile hike up into the Waihe'e valley and enjoyed the cool water of Spreckle's ditch. Following an enjoyable and fulfilling week at Scout Camp, hosted by BSA Troop 49 of Maui County Council, we returned to Oahu via the Superferry, and then spent another week of Scout Camp at Pupukea on the North Shore of Oahu. A full and sufficient Scouting adventure was experienced by both Scouts. Sadly, all other members of our Troop had either summer school classes, or band camp which precluded wider participation in the summer camp experience.
On Memorial Day, 2008, members of Troop 304 participated in the "Good turn day" by planting flags, leis and flowers on the graves of Veterans in Punchbowl Memorial Cemetary of the Pacific. This solemn ceremony served as a reminder of those who have given their lives in defense of our freedom.
