Camp Kualoa B 1/20/17-1/21/17



Hi Troop 75 Ohana,

I hope you're all keeping warm and staying dry on this blustery and wet weekend. Not very desirable weather for outdoor activities. I know being able to adapt to the elements is part of Boy Scout Camping. But to a certain extent. Our first Camp of the year was cut short due to high wind. I just want to commend the Adult Leaders for making the call to cancel this camp. The safety of our Scout's is our number one priority at all times.

The morning started off nicely, sunshine and a beautiful rainbow. Set against the majestic Koolaus in the background. But it's amazing how Mother Nature can just turn things around. It's unfortunate, but better safe than sorry. I don't want to imagine what it would have been like if the Troop had to evacuate at night. Especially if the gate had already been locked.

MUCH MAHALOS to our quick thinking Adult Leaders for pulling the plug on this Camp! Great call! You guys Da Bes! It was inconvenient that all the food had to be divided among everyone and the tarps couldn't be dried out. But that doesn't matter. The safety of all is first and foremost. I'm so thankful that everyone got out of there safely. And made it back home.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Please stay dry and keep warm! And please drive with care. 

Aloha,
Mr. Al

Lion's Club Breakfast Ticket Sales


1/14/17

MAHALO! to our volunteer scouts and parents (Al, Dan, Steven, Ken) for helping with the Lions Club fundraiser on Saturday, Jan 14th.

We had a total of 8 awesome scouts walking the neighborhood talking to residents in the community.  The Lions Club coordinator sent a nice email commending our scouts on their "salesmanship" skills.  He believes their presence made a difference with the residents supporting the event.

Just a reminder to the scouts who volunteered to please log 1 1/2 hours of community service in your scout book.

Thanks for your support!
Jason Furuta
Finance Chairperson


p.s. Annual Pearl City Lions Club Valentines Fundraiser will be held on Saturday, Feb 11th.  More information will be sent in a couple of weeks.

It seems like it was just yesterday that we were putting up the lights, yet with the start of the new year means our first service project of removing the lights. Thank you to all the volunteers who came out today with the clean up, it was much faster than the setup!
