Camp Hoomaluhia April 2016


We had a fabulous time at Hoomaluhia ! It was a little wet, on and off showers, heavy at times. And we still managed to have a great time! I just want to say a HUGE MAHALOS to all the Scout's, Adult Leaders and Parents who came out this weekend! And MAHALOS to our Pack 75 Cub Scout Brothers and their Families.

We made very good time on our journey to Hoomaluhia. We set up the Dining Fly in record time, with only 4 Scout's and 3 Adults. And even had our tents up before the sun went down. The Boy's ate early. They cleaned up and pretty much relaxed on Friday evening. We we're joined by 4 more Scout's on Saturday afternoon.

The mercury really dipped as the sun set. And when the breeze blew, it got pretty cold! But it was OK. The showers would come and go through the whole weekend. And we're heavy in the early morning hours. Typical Hoomaluhia weather.

We didn't go on our usual Hike to the Pali Lookout. There we're only 4 Scout's. And the degree of difficulty was a bit to much for the Cub Scout's. So our Scout's assisted Mr. Kevin with his Training Classes. We had a nice Saturday night Camp Fire, skits and joke time. And finished the evening making smores. The Cubbies retired after Campfire. Our Boy's played hide and seek, and a modified version of Capture The Flag the rest of the night.

A HUGE MAHALOS to Karen Batangan, the Cub Scout's and the Families of Pack 75. We really enjoyed their company. They all had a great time. And learned new skills and got a first hand look at what the next level of Scouting will be like. Our Scout's did an outstanding job of helping to teach and introduce the Cubbies to Boy Scout's. Our Scout's rock! 

BIG HUGE MAHALOS to Mr. Kevin for being our Towmaster and our GOAT(guru of all things) for the weekend! MAHALOS to Vernon Verzon and Damien Boncales for helping to cook. Thank You to Dan and Sharon Kiyohiro for visiting. Thanks Vernon and Dan for helping with Rustin's Scoutmaster Conference. Mahalos to all the Parents for always being there for our Scout's. The Troop and I are truly blessed!
