Troop 75 Fishing Tournament

Sand Island

HI Troop 75 Ohana,

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend! Yes I agree! It was a really nice day for fishing. Overcast with vog, but no burning sun. The air was calm and the water was nice and glassy. We didn't have much hanapa'a, but the fellowship and fun was well worth the trip!  A HUGE MAHALOS to Daylen and the Masaki Ohana for coordinating and organizing this Fishing trip!

MAHALOS to all the Scout's, Siblings and Parents who came out today. We all had so much fun! Congratulations to all the Winner's of the 1st Annual Troop 75 Fishing Tournament. Special Congrats to Daylen for being the only person to catch fish. Thank You to Dan Kiyohiro for being our Photographer to archive another great Troop 75 memory!

Aloha,

Mr. Al

Scout Sunday February 2017

Scout Sunday

2/12/17

Hi Troop 75 Ohana,

It was a beautiful day to attend a Church Service. I just want to say a HUGE MAHALOS to all the Scout's, Adult Leaders and Parents who participated. We had a decent turn out Scouts and a handful from Pack 75.

Pastor Ricky delivered a great Sermon. He spoke very highly of the Scouts and how much he appreciates the Troop and Pack. The Church gave us these beautiful plates with the inscription from Luke 1:37 which said, "Nothing is impossible with God" Karen Batangan and myself made donations on behalf of the Troop and Pack to Pastor Ricky and the Kahikuonalani Congregation. 

Karen and I expressed our sincere gratitude and appreciation to Pastor Ricky and the Congregation for all their love and support through the years. Our Scout's make us so proud, they participated in the responsive reading and helped with the offeratory bowls. And did an outstanding job with posting and retiring the colors. We had a fun time of fellowship and good food after the Service.

Aloha,

Mr. Al 

Wicklund Camp February 2017

Wicklund Camp

February 2017

Hi Troop 75 Ohana,

I hope you all had an awesome weekend! We had a great time at the Wicklund Camp. Couldn't ask for better weather. Mother Nature was kinder to us this weekend. A definite improvement from Kualoa B last month. It was a smaller than usual group. I just want to say a HUGE MAHALOS to all the Scout's, Adult Leaders and Parents who joined us this weekend.

The sky was clear and full of stars on Friday night. Which made for chilly evenings. We did get some rain on Saturday afternoon. Thank goodness it just passed. However the wind stuck around and cooled things a bit. We did 2 service projects for the Wicklunds, we uncovered the logs. And we rebuilt the wooden structure that had sunk into the sand. They also dug out the fire barrel which got buried to. And pulled weeds as well. The Wicklunds we're so happy and very grateful!

We had a great Campfire gathering. The Boys did skits, sang songs and told jokes. They made smores. And went crab hunting after that. A very fun filled weekend for all! Our Scout's worked very hard this weekend! It was unusual for them not to go swimming. Just Evan and Mr. Verzon cooled themselves off in the ocean.

A HUGE MAHALOS to Jake Tamaye for providing the food for the Adults. Mahalos to Jake, Damien, Jeffrey, and Vernon for their culinary skills. The food was ono! Special THANKS to our Tow masters, Jeffrey and Vernon. Mahalos to Vernon for the "Wendalls" Malasadas. Was ono! Mahalos to the Scout Leaders, Thank You for your leadership, great job Boys!

A Special Thank You to the Boys for your very thoughtful and heart felt Brownie with a match for a candle. And for the Happy Birthday song. You guys are so awesome! Thank You to the Adults for your continued support and dedication! It's very much appreciated! 

Have a great week!

Aloha,

Mr. Al

Pearl City Lions Breakfast 2017

Pearl City Lions Breakfast

2/10/17

Hi Troop 75 Ohana,

I hope your staying dry and keeping warm. Oh my goodness where did all this rain come from! To say it was a rainy day would be an understatement. There we're times of heavy down pours, thunder and flooding! We needed rubber boots and a boat today. But we adapted and we did very well!

A HUGE MAHALOS to all the Scout's and Parents who came out this morning to help the PC Lions Club with their Annual Valentine's Breakfast. In spite of the rain, we had a great turnout of Scout's. I was surprised by the number of Patrons who showed up, rain and all.

The Scout's did an excellent job of helping inside the Café, and assisting and directing people to and from the Café. They even helped with bailing water at the foot of the stairs and sidewalk. Helped dig trenches so the water could drain. They did it all. They got a little wet, but they had fun. I had so many compliments from the Lions Club and Patrons as well. The PC Lions Club was extremely grateful for all of our hard work. I'm so proud of our Boys! You guys rock! You earned 6 service project hours if you we're there the whole time.

Mahalos to Jason Furuta for organizing and coordinating with the PC Lions Club. Thank You to the Parents and Adult Leaders who helped out. I apologize for not being there at 6:00 a.m. I had a work emergency. But I managed to make it up there by 8:00 a.m.

Just a friendly reminder, tomorrow morning is Scout Sunday. Service begins at 10:30 a.m. in the Main Chapel. Let's meet in the parking lot at 10:00 a.m.  Pack 75 will be joining us. Hope to see you there.

Aloha,

Mr. Al

Congratulations Jeff and Andrea!
