Introduction to Backpacking

Posted on May 21 2025 - 7:30pm

Message:

This is an introduction to Backpacking trip for Troop 235 scouts. Prior experience with backpacking is not required to sign up for this trip.

Every participant (youth and adult) will need to have their own backpack along with all the necessary gear to camp overnight.

There will be a mandatory gear check at the troop meeting on June 3rd. All participants (youth and adult) need to bring their backpacks along with all gear for review with Mr. Gogosha.

Unfortunately, REI no longer offers rental program for backpacking packs. Crew members are encouraged to use their scouting funds from Tree Lot 2024 to look for good deals on backpacks. It is highly recommended to get your backpack fitted properly. REI staff are very good at offering tips on proper fitting of backpacks.

Pack 541 Ice Skating

Posted on May 19 2025 - 8:02pm

Message:

As my last den chief service award requirement I (Travis Baker) thought it would be really fun to do a skating activity with pack 541. It is during the public skate session on Saturday May 31st at 1pm at Aliso Viejo Ice Palace (9 Journey Aliso Viejo) . We are getting a 15 minute lesson with a skating instructor, hot chocolate, a special Aliso Viejo scout patch for participating in this activity, skate rental and 1 free adult leader to participate in the activity with us. It’s $35 per participant which the troop will not be paying for. The troop will be providing pizza for all participants after skating though. Please RSVP by May 27th for this event. Also, scouts should wear a class B shirt to the event.
