Good bye to the 2017/2018 scouting year

As a closing, I want to thank you all for a truly wonderful year.

As a pack we've hiked Pinnacles East and West, Elkhorn Slough, and Nisene Marks.

We've spent nights on the USS Hornet and relived the glory and ingenuity of generations in seafaring and space technology.

We've donned our best Scout gear and brightened the holidays with mistletoe and showed our pride in the Veteran's Day parade.

And we've celebrated the joys great and small within our dens at the advancement ceremony, dinners, and family camp.

Hope to see you over the summer - you make it great
