Rose Parade Campout

On December 31, the crew grabbed the corner of Raymond and Colorado in Pasadena for a Rose Parade campout.  We explored around time, played games, and joined in all the fun!  The next morning we had front row seats for the parade.  It was agreed this should be a repeat event.

Crew Holiday Party Canceled

Crew members,

Sadly, our holiday party is canceled this year.  It is just too difficult for us to find a date that works.  I hope you will join us for our Rose Parade Campout on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.  We will be celebrating the holiday season!  This event is subject to change due to poor weather, so make sure you are signed up for to get event communication.  Contact trek leader Ella Cartnal at ecartnal@gmail.com for more information.

CicLAvia this Sunday 12/2

CicLAvia is this upcoming Sunday 12/2 from 8:30am to about 3:30pm.  This is a super fun LA event and we’d love all crew members to join us with this event.  If you are interested in attending, contact our trek leader and crew president, Ella Cartnal, at ecartnal@gmail.com for the exact meetup time and location.

Bring money for the metro and lunch (there are food trucks) as well as water and a snack for if you get hungry while riding around.  Don’t forget your bike lock & helmet!  Wear your gray crew shirt if you have it.  It’s best if we match so we can find each other in the crowd.

Veteran’s Day and Operation Gratitude

Crew members helped with the American Legion Post 288 Annual Veteran’s Day Ceremony at Two Strike Park.  Crew President, Ella Cartnal, assisted with the ceremony.  Crew members also kicked off the Thanksgiving Holiday by volunteering at Operation Gratitude’s Assembly Day on November 17.  We assembled medals, thank you cards, and helped review letters of appreciation for our troops.

Personal Safety Awareness Training in October

This October, we will be working on our requirements for the Venturing Award.  This includes the Personal Safety Awareness training that will happen in 2 parts split between our October meetings.  Other requirements include attendance at an upcoming crew event.  Don’t forget to check our Crew Calendar.  We have some great events happening this fall.

Bring your Venturing books if you have them.  We hope to see you at our October meetings on the 11th and 25th.
