Joshua Tree Hike

Here we are, still alive and kicking! This picture was taken by Maria Espinoza at the end of our hike… sans backpacks of course. The scouts performed very well during the day and kept us in stitches at night.

29 Palms Primitive Camp – Jan 16 to 18.

29 Palms Primitive Camp is just around the corning in mid January and I’m told it’s something every scout should experience (parents too).

6th Annual Troop 54 Thanksgiving Meal Serving

Troop 54 helps serve Thanksgiving meal to the homeless and less fortunate from our surrounding communities. Our troop will assist in food preparation, serving, clean-up and other restaurant related duties. Meals served last year were over 900. Troop will work along side other youth groups, LASD, and local officials from various city and state agencies. Organizers are requesting scouts for morning shift to arrive @ 9:00AM and 2nd shift, 12Noon. (Please arrive on time). Come in Class “A” uniform (no hat), no playing around and a ready to work attitude. Service hours will be awarded to those who actively participate.  If you are this scout, contact me and sign-up or at the next troop meeting. When you contact me, indicate which shift you prefer and if open, I will place you there. I will do my best to accommodate everyone. Thank you
