The trail is less than 4 miles each way.

Meet at PoP @ 7 AM Saturday; return 2 PM Sunday.  In addition to recommended Packing List and 10 Essentials, please

Last step for Rank Advancement... If you have all requirements signed off in your book for a Badge of Rank and have completed a Scoutmaster conference, then it is time to schedule a Board of Review!  Here's how:

John Alford, Senior Policy Advisor for U.S. Congressman Brad Sherman, has generously agreed to lead a discussion on Constitutional rights and obligations with our boys.  This is a unique opportunity for all Scouts who have not completed 1st Class rank requirement #5 and for any Scouts who have an interest in policy, civics or law.  Please register here.  

...here's another chance.  The LAPD rep came a week early, but if you missed the drug-and-alcohol-dangers discussion and still need 2nd Class requirement 8a, we have another expert (pharmacologist) coming on Dec. 9th at 7 PM.  This small group discussion will be separate from the main Troop meeting but at the same time.  

We have a rare opportunity to work on First Class requirement #2, the mile-long Orienteering Course, on Sunday, Dec. 15.  ASM Steve Vincent is plotting out the course this weekend and will post the time and location by Monday. Please register here. 

This is a fun activity that requires organizing so it's best done with a group. The next opportunity will probably be at Scout Summer Camp.
