Urban Camp 2017

Hi Troop 75,

I hope you all had a nice enjoyable weekend! It was a great weekend for our Annual Urban Camp. The perfect ending to another awesome year of fun, learning and adventure in Troop 75! The weather was perfect! I just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all the Scout's, Adult Leaders and Parent Volunteers who helped out with Urban Camp!

Our day started with a nice, but bumpy ride to the Ala Moana Shopping Center. The bus route was filled with potholes and bumps. Due to traveling along the rail construction path. We arrived at Ala Moana around 10. We all met up at Center Stage to plan the activities for the day. We broke up into 4 groups. The first activity was a Scavenger Hunt. It was a nice walk around the Shopping Center to get all the items on the list. That took us to lunch. We met up at 12:00 p.m. at the Food Court.

We enjoyed a nice lunch. Then everyone headed to the new Arcade called the Lucky Strike. It's very much like Dave n Busters. Except they don't have Pool Tables. But they did have a 4 four lane bowling alley up stairs. We spent the rest of the day there. The Scout's played and the Adults sat down and watched football until it was time to walk to the Hotel.

We checked into our Hotel Rooms and the Boy's settled down. situated themselves and relaxed until dinner. Some of the Boys went to swim in the pool. We left for dinner around 6:00 p.m. We went across the street to Walmart for the goodies and snacks for later. And we bought our dinners from L&L and Kozo Sushi and went back to the Hotel to eat. The Boys we're tired and did not plan any night activities. They hung out in their rooms and entertained themselves. I think they spent all their money Lucky Strike.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Dan Kiyohiro for organizing and coordinating the Urban Camp. Special Thanks to Roxanne and Johnathan Sivalop for coming up with the Scavenger Hunt. Thank you to Dave Masaki and Dan Kiyohiro for transporting all the gear to the Hotel. And A HUGE THANK YOU to all the Parents and Adult Leaders who helped chaperone this outing. And Thanks to the overnight crew, Dan Kiyohiro and Ken Nagamine. We all had a fabulous time! Thank You all for always being there for our Scout's!

We are done camping until 2018. We all look forward to new adventures in the coming New Year. Thank You Troop 75 Ohana!

Have a wonderful week!
