A sleepy camp


Lots of work goes into creating an event for 3000+ people. Months and years of planning.
Then you show up the first day, and everyone is setting up. Not so impressive then. But it is still worth documenting.

Troop 441 is at the Cen Ten O Ree at Whittier Narrows Regional park this weekend. 4000 boy scouts celebrating 100 years of scouting in America.

Downey Patriot Article on Boy Scouts of America, featuring quotations by Troop 441′s own David Kim.
“You do feel like you’re part of the community,” said Downey Eagle Scout David Kim. “You are learning to be a functioning citizen. You are learning to be an engaged resident whether it’s in the community or the country.
“Kids might not realize it, but they grow up in the Scouts, and learn to play a role in the community.”
The next Merit Badge Day for Frontier District is Saturday, October 4, 2008, at the LDS Church on Paramount, 10511 Paramount Blvd.Downey, CA 90240.
12 Merit Badges will be offered. The flyer is available for download!
Troop 441 returned from Summer Camp last month, and it’s taken us this long to recover and post photos on the web! All of these photos are from Leticia Garcia

Two weekends ago, right after school let out, we camped at Manker Flats in the mountains, and hiked to the top of Mt. Baldy (also known officially as Mt. San Antonio).
We rode the ski lift up to Baldy Notch
And then we sat and rested in the ski lift chairs:
