Scouting For Food
Troop 175 Scouts had a great time hanging up approximately 1,000 Scouting for Food flyers in Foster City! Scouts went door to door in groups placing flyers in many different parts of the city. They followed up their door-hanging efforts by collecting over 500lbs of food for Second Harvest of Silicon Valley.
Pinnacles Trip 11/16/24
Scouts arrived late on Friday night around 8 PM. The evening temperature dropped to 28 degrees, making for a cold evening. The next morning, Scouts woke up around 7:30 and started the day with a hearty breakfast. At 10:00 AM, the first group started hiking to the climbing rock. The other two groups followed shortly after, with the final group taking a detour to tour the caves.
By 5:00 PM, all Scouts had finished climbing, and the last group including the belayers made their way back to camp. Scouts had dinner and went to bed early for what was overall a relaxing evening.
On Sunday morning, Scouts slept in a bit, waking up around 8 AM. They wrapped up the trip with a daytime campfire, enjoying some final moments together before breaking camp. Scouts then packed up and left around noon, ending a fun, chilly, and memorable weekend.
