Happy Birthday Boy Scouts Of America!

BSA Scout Troop 22 At Klondike Derby 2018!

Several of our Troop 22 Scouts attended Klondike Derby 2018 in Cisco Grove, CA. Thankfully our Scouts were well prepared and were able to keep warm-n-toasty! For a few of them, this marked their first Klondike Derby. Awesome adventures for the win!

Many thanks go to our leadership and our parent volunteers, who left the comforts of home to help guide our Scouts. You are the best!

Halloween Party

This past Saturday we held our Halloween Party.  Pumpkins were carved, games were played, swimming was swimmed.  And a movie was watched (Abbot and Costello meet Frankenstein).  Good time was had by all, from what I could tell.

Day hike this Saturday

We will have our day hike along the Pacific Crest Trail this Saturday.  We leave from the parking lot behind Carl's Jr. at the corner of I-80 and Antelope at 8:30 sharp.  Be there at 8:00am and bring plenty of water!

Swimming Rescue methods

Hey scouts!  If you need to have requirement 8c from the Second Class Trail signed off, we will be meeting at the Jolly's house on Friday at 7pm to help you get this accomplished.  If you need directions to the Jolly's, send me an email.

Community Service

Troop 22 had a busy day. We started out serving and busing tables at the annual POW-MIA luncheon at the VFW post in Antelope. We followed that up with a flag ceremony for Sac Co. Counselwoman Susan Peters at Pioneer Park. Thanks to all the help from the boys at both events. It was a long a busy day and your efforts are appreciated.
