Family Camp
June 2017
Hi Troop 75 Ohana,
I hope you're all enjoying this beautiful weekend! We we're blessed with gorgeous sunshine and cool tropical breezes for our Annual Family Camp at the Queen Liliuokalani Children's Center. We couldn't ask for better weather! We did get a little shower on Saturday night. But it passed quickly, and we we're able to do our Saturday evening activities. A HUGE MAHALOS to all the Scout's, Parents and Siblings for coming out and spending the weekend with the Troop.
It's so nice not having to set up the Dining Fly and doing all the normal activities associated with a regular Camp. Camping at the QLCC is more of a staycation. With COOL AC, a commercial kitchen and comfortable sleeping quarters. Nice hot showers and clean bath rooms. Doesn't get much more comfortable than that gang! We we're greeted by Uncle Junior and after a quick briefing. We presented our donation of School Supplies. And a pretty Orchid to the Queen. Uncle Junior was very grateful for our thoughtful generosity.
We got our selves settled in and had a nice dinner! The Boys entertained themselves for a bit and went to bed early. Everyone was up bright and early on Saturday morning. We had a nice hardy breakfast and headed to the Ma'o Farm for a tour. The Ma'o Staff showed us the entire process from soil prep to distribution to the public. It was fun and very educational. Organic Fruits and Vegetables are the best. No chemicals! It's as natural as you can get. "No Panic" "Go Organic" is their motto. We got to sample some of the products, it was so ono! We also helped them with a small service project eradicating invasive weeds. We we're back at QLCC by lunch time. After lunch we took a walk to 7-11 for some ice cold treats.
On Saturday night we had an awesome dinner! Steaks, BBQ Chicken and Spaghetti! Everyone ate very well! After a little blessing rain. We had Camp Fire. The Boys did skits, told jokes and challenged each other to full body Jan Ken Po. You stand back to back. And using your whole body, you turn and make paper, rock or scissors. It was so much fun! Then everyone enjoyed Smores and Roasted Marsh Mellows afterwards. The Boys played quiet games and went to bed. A great weekend of fun and fellowship!
A HUGE MAHALOS to Jason Furuta for organizing and coordinating this memorable event. and for purchasing and preparing the Food for the Adults and Staff! There we're so many people who made this Camp a success! It was busy, but a very productive weekend. We did three Scoutmaster Conferences. And even did an Adult Board. The new Scout's who attended, earned their Tottin and Fireman Chit. Congratulations, very well done! A Huge Mahalos to the Scout Staff for teaching them these skills.
A Huge Mahalos to all the Scout's for your very respectful behavior while at the QLCC and on the Field Trip to Ma'o Farm. Great job! To our outstanding Scout Leadership. A HUGE MAHALOS to all the Adult Leaders, Parents and Siblings! Thank You for a fabulous weekend! Thank You for all your hard work and dedication! I cannot Thank You guys enough! MAHALOS to Ann Nagamine, Sandy Yamamoto, Dan Kiyohiro, Damien Boncales and Vernon Verzon for sitting in on the Scoutmaster Conferences and Adult Board.
A SPECIAL MAHALOS to the Sunday Breakfast Crew! Thank You so much for getting up very early, and working so hard to prepare Sunday breakfast! Everything was so delicious! You guys Da Bes! Mahalos to our Towmaster, Todd Kaetsu. Our Iron Chefs. To our Grill Masters, Vernon Verzon, Dan Kiyohiro, Ken Nagamine and Todd Kaetsu. Special Mahalos to Gilbert Batangan and Damien Boncales for entertaining the Adults on Friday night with their Guitar artistry and beautiful voices! We all kind of joined in. It was like a night at the Karaoke Club.
It was very hot in Nanakuli, as it usually is! But we all had an awesome time! We had fun, we learned something new, made new friendships and we ate well! Another memorable Troop 75 experience! Thank You all!
There will be NO Troop Meeting next week Friday. The next Troop Meeting will be on Friday, July 7th. Have a wonderful week!
Aloha,
Mr. Al
