Eagle Creek Backpack trip

Well, another great camp out is in the books.

A learning experience for everyone I am sure.  I am very proud of all the Scouts that made the trip.  21 of the Scouts braved the weight and the distance and the payoff was tremendous.

Water falls, quiet, and hanging out with friends, not to mention some good physical exercise and and testing of limits.

The trail led us through some challenging spots, but the Scouts made it, a confidence builder to be sure.  Again, I am proud of all of you.

Can't wait to hit the trail again!

Have a Great Scouting Day!

The Gresham Heroes Memorial (Corner of Roberts and Powell near Main City Park) would like our help with two events.

A real Scouting Hero

Camp out (Back Pack trip up Eagle Creek)

We will be leaving Friday evening... We need to be at the Knights Hall at 6:30 PM.. please do not be late. The sooner we leave, the sooner we can get to trail head.
Depending on how much day light we have, we may be able to hit the trail.
Right now though the plan is to camp at the trial head and head out after breakfast in the morning (Saturday).

BE PREPARED. If if it's on your list, bring it.
Prep your food in advance. Look at your packs before Friday, make sure you have everything you need and do not take a bunch of extra stuff.
Remember the shake down and don't add to what you reduced.

Looking forward to a great trip.

See you Friday!

Have a Great Scouting Day!

Meeting Monday Night (April 13th)

This is the shake down meeting. Important to be there to get your gear in order.
Bring your gear for the camp out, no food, but everything you will be carrying.
We will do a buddy shake down. Each buddy team will look at one anothers gear.
The idea is to look at reducing weight. We do that by removing unneeded items.

Have a Great Scouting Day!
