Troop 27 and Crew 27 participated in the BSA Pacific Skyline Council’s annual Webelos X-treme Event. Our scouts and associated Venturing Crew setup and operated 2 fun activities: a climbing tripod and canoe catamarans. The event allows Webelos to experience some Boy Scout activities, lets Webelos families become familiar with some Boy Scout troops and facilitates bridging from Cub Scouts.
August 24-25
Canoeing & Sunset Beach Camping
The Elkhorn Slough is one of 27 National Estuarine Research Reserves established nationwide as field laboratories for scientific research and estuarine education. It is the largest tidal wetland marsh in California after San Francisco Bay.
On Saturday the troop paddled our fleet of canoes into Elkhorn Slough, finishing just before the tide would have been against us. During the tour of the slough we had an opportunity to enjoy the local wildlife, while continuing to build on canoe skills. We camped at Sunset Beach where scouts had an opportunity to work on skills, enjoy a beach campfire, and learned about astronomy while gazing into the nighttime sky. After a hot breakfast and a discussion on a bluff overlooking the ocean on Sunday morning, we cleaned up one mile of the beach, packed our lunches and explored the museum at the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve.
Troop 27 welcomes Scouts BSA for girls age 11-17 starting February 1, 2019. Visit Scouting.org for more information about Scouts BSA.
