Summer Events: Hike on July 15th, Rain Gutter Regatta on August 12th; Labor Day Family Camp

Hi Pack 93 families!
Wow cannot believe how fast June flew by!  I hope you're enjoying all the adventures and the long warm days we've been having.

Quick note on the Pack's Summer Events:
1.  Cub Scout Summer Camp (completed June 19)
2.  Hike at Point Lobos (July 15 at 10AM)
3.  Rain Gutter Regatta (August 12 - more details soon)
4.  Labor Day Family Camp at Chesebrough (more details coming soon)


1.  Cub Scout Summer Camp - (completed June 19) A great time was had by all with marshmallow guns, an introduction into CSI and law enforcement, archery, and of course a day of summer splash!  Those firefighters sure know how to hose the kids down!  Missed it?  Keep an eye out for it next summer.


2.  Point Lobos Hike (July 15 - 10AM)
As a pack we did meet there back in April, but since many couldn't make it, a great chance to revisit a close favorite and earn one of the 8 patches in the trekkers patch series. 


Bring sun screen, and snacks, water. There is a lot of poison oak, so be aware.

It is a beautiful hike, if you have not done this one you will enjoy it a lot.

We are meeting at the first parking lot on the right after you enter the park. It is the area where the divers go so parking will be limited. You may need to park outside the park and hike in.

Walk along the road until you see the road fork, take the right fork down to the water, and that is where we start.


Al will be leading us on the journey.  Please update the attendance spreadsheet if you're attending.
See you then.


What is the trekker series?

3.  Rain Gutter Regatta (August 12)
Regatta - just hearing the word brings a wisp of excitement, a touch of class and elegance, a .... rain gutter?  

The boys and families will get a chance to compete for mastery and craftmanship as they make their own catamaran or trimaran style boat and float it down a rain gutter.  There are scout kits out there for this, but we'd like to take a more NorCal approach to it - laid back, recycled, and innovative.  
More details to follow soon.


4.  Camp Chesebrough Family Camp - Labor Day Weekend 
With the roads to beloved Pico Blanco still recovering, Camp Chesebrough (near Los Gatos) will be available this Labor Day weekend.

More details to come.  Council Dates are set as Sept 1 - 3
