Annual Planning meeting reminder, August 31st at 6:00 PM

Hello everyone,
Just a reminder about our planning meeting Monday night.  It is very important for as many parents to be there as possible.  We want to come up with activities for a great year.  We also need your support to help with some of the outings.  Please bring your ideas, and think about how you can help.

See you Monday.

Annual planning meeting August 31st 6:00pm

I’d like to clear up the day we are planning on for the big (Parents) annual planning meeting for all our current scout parents.  We are doing it Monday evening August 31^st at the church at our normal time, 6:00pm.

Please all current scout parents this is a great opportunity to add input for the up coming year, and to get some great information about what we are hoping to accomplish with the scouts. We hope to see you all there.

Please disregard the post saying that we are meeting on the 29th.

Sorry for the confusion.

Labor Day Family Camp signup deadline

Hello everyone,
Just a  reminder, please sign up by Monday Aug 24th for the Labor Day Family camp at Pico. The waterfront is supposed to still be in place, which means in addition to archery and bb guns there should be canoeing.

Thank you

Family Camp September 4-7 @ Pico Blanco

Hello everyone,

There is a fall family camp at Pico Blanco.  This one typically does not draw as many campers as the big Memorial day Family Camp at Pico. However I have heard that there is interest in camping this weekend.

Because of the smaller turnout, we generally do not plan meals as a group. Families are usually left to their own as far as preparing meals.  However, depending on the size of the group interested we can consider group meals plans. We have a sign up sheet on the attendance spreadsheet if you want to go.  There is also a check box if you are interested in group meals.  

Cost for the camp is $40 per person for those 6 and over. 5 and under is no cost.  Gates open Friday night at 4pm although there is no schedule for Friday. Events begin Saturday morning.  In the past, families have arrived and departed on various days over the weekend, but the cost is still fixed.  It is not prorated.

Hiking at Labor Day Family Camp

Labor Day is a great time to go on a hike or backpack trip at Pico Blanco. As part of the Labor Day program, hikes and backpack trips for Scouts of all ages and abilities will be offered. You’ll have the opportunity to take a dip at the Circular Pools, see the largest redwood tree in camp, and even see the sunset from the top of Mt. Pico Blanco. While onsite registration will be available for most hikes, we highly encourage that you pre-register at the link below so that we can properly staff the hikes. See you on the trail!

Rock Climbing August 15th

Hello everyone,

Friday night's stargazing has been canceled.

The Saturday morning rock climbing event is still on.  So far only two Scouts have signed up.  If you plan to attend, please sign up so we know to expect you.  Wear your Scout t-shirt.

We are going to have a planning meeting on August 31st.  The intent of this meeting is to lay out our plan for the year, as far as what activities we want to do, etc.  We really need ALL PARENTS to attend.  We will put out  more information shortly.

thank you

UPDATE: Star Gazing as of Aug. 12th 2015

UPDATE: as of Aug. 12th 2015

Due to the low response, we will not have a group get together for this viewing. I encourage everyone to try and take the time this week or Friday night to look up into the sky with your scout and see the shower, it should be quite good. I am providing a link with all the information you might want regarding the upcoming meteor shower.

The address is 1855 East Avenue Sand City, CA 93955 (831) 899-2595

The cost is $18.00 per (Climber) child and $4.00 for the (belay) parent.
