This weekend is Scout-O-Rama and Troop 818 is ready to set the bar hign once again! Scout-O-Rama will be on Saturday May 12th at the Oak Canyon Regional Park (5305 Santiago Canyon Drive, Silverado). Troop 818 will be running a Royal Flush and will be doing Survival Bracelets! Please make sure you can attend as we will need all the support possible to make this successful!

As part of my Eagle Scout Project, I have been asked to organize a booth at the "Green Expo" as part of Mission Viejo's Earth Day celebration next Saturday April 28th. The Green Expo will run from 9am to 12 noon at the Norman P. Murray Center off LaPaz (close to Marguerite Parkway). We will distribute the "battery buckets" that the troop has so generously collected over the last few months. We will also be conducting surveys and distributing information to attendees.

Hike the HIGHEST PEAK in the continental United States at 14,500 feet. Although many people pride themselves in climbing Mt. Whitney in one day, this is going to be a FOUR DAY “fun” trip. As a wise hiker once told me - "It's the journey, not the destination." All hikers will need to be "checked out" - which means that they will need to have hiked or backpacked with an adult leader who can "certify" their trail-worthiness.

This is going to be a great 3 day 20 mile backpack - with beautiful scenery and maybe even a buffalo sighting or two.

Day 1 (Friday April 13th): Take morning Catalina Flyer out of Newport Beach to Avalon and a shore boat to Two Harbors. Have lunch and then hike 5.1 miles to Little Harbor with elevation gain and loss of 1212 feet. Enjoy the beautiful sunset and a real campfire. Camp at Little Harbor Campground (running water).

Please Join Troop 818 and our Cycling Merit Badge Coordinator Mr. Kalasky for a 16 Mile Newport Back Bay Bike Ride!

Meet at 9:00am in the parking lot for Irvine Civic Center Park near the corner of Barranca Parkway and Harvard in Irvine. After brief safety check on all bikes, we'll ride 8 miles from Civic Center Park to Newport Dunes and return 8 miles back to the beginning. This is the second of SEVEN rides with distances increasing from 10 miles to 50 miles. This route is another easy ride with longer distance than the first but less challenging terrain. All abilities are welcome.

Please sign up to support a local Girl Scout Troop who is trying to earn one of the highest Girl Scout awards, the Silver Award.
Troop 2184 will be supporting needy families at the St. Killians Panrty and is looking for your assistance. Not only do you get the satisfaction of helping families in need and supporting a local Girl Scout Troop, yet you earn Service Project hours doing so!
