Troop 104 descended upon Camp Verdugo Oaks ready to compete, bond, and make memories that will last a lifetime! With three patrols – the fierce Dutch Hounds, the mighty Doritos Demolishers, and the valiant Watermelon Warriors – we were a force to be reckoned with.
The camporee was jam-packed with exciting challenges that tested our Scout skills to the limit. From the Precision Air Rifle competition, where a steady hand and keen eye were needed to hit those swinging targets, to the Pentathlon, a true test of teamwork and grit as we navigated obstacles like the giant swinging log and the treacherous “Floor is Lava,” our Scouts showed incredible determination and camaraderie.
Scouts also had a blast with the Archery competition, and the Tomahawk throw, where we showed off our accuracy and precision. And who could forget the “Medal Count” challenge at the Nature Center? It was a brain-bending puzzle that really put our problem-solving skills to the test!
Throughout the weekend, our Scouts demonstrated incredible unity and brotherhood. They cheered each other on, helped each other out, and celebrated each other’s successes. It was inspiring to see them work together, encouraging and supporting one another through every challenge.
But it wasn’t all about competition. We also had plenty of time for fun and laughter around the campfire, sharing stories and building friendships that will last a lifetime. The weekend was filled with moments of joy, camaraderie, and shared experiences that truly embodied the spirit of Scouting.
And the best part? Troop 104’s hard work and dedication paid off! Thanks to our incredible teamwork and skill, we took home 2nd place overall! We’re incredibly proud of all our Scouts for their amazing efforts and for making this camporee a truly memorable experience.
This camporee wasn’t just about winning competitions; it was about building character, fostering friendships, and creating lasting memories. It was a testament to the values of Scouting – unity, brotherhood, and fun – and a reminder of what we can achieve when we work together. We can’t wait for the next adventure!
