The patrol challenge is a super fun scavenger hunt for scouts.  On June 22, a few of our members headed off to Ventura to find our first set of clues! We had a successful day! We will still be visiting Ojai, a college campus, and exploring a few haunted sites.  Contact Annika if you’re interested in joining the challenge.  There are still a few spots available.

Our January ski trip was a blast!  We fit in a whole day of skiing and snowboarding, a few walks, a bunch of games, and even a polar bear plunge. Crew members even made a large Italian dinner and a big breakfast for all.
