'Oh What Fun' it is to join Troop 1613 at our annual Christmas Party Monday, 12/17! The festivities will include a potluck of tasty holiday treats, the famous gift exchange game and a contest for the Scout dressed in the best holiday themed outfit! If you are dressed in holiday attire, you don't need to wear your Scout uniform. Each Scout to please bring a wrapped Scouting appropriate gift (this is not a gag gift, bring something Scouting/camping related or fun game/activity/item) valued in the $15 - $20 range for the gift exchange game. For the potluck, please contact our Assistant Senior Patrol Leader Zach Hudkins to let him know what you can bring. Happy Holidays!   

The Troop 1613 January campout will be a 'rockin' good time and a total 'blast!' We are heading to Coon Hollow Campground for our geode hunting and rocket campout 1/11-1/13/19. We will visit the Hauser geode beds and hunt for geodes that contain cool crystals. We will also launch rockets to add to the fun weekend. With each camping fee, each Scout will receive a simple rocket kit that will need to be assembled/decorated and brought to the campout. We look forward to seeing you all there so please sign up no later than Monday 12/17!

Summer Camp 2019 will be at Camp Chawanakee on beautiful Shaver Lake 6/30 - 7/6/19. The camp offers about 50 merit badges including many Eagle required, a great assortment of water related activities on the lake, COPE high adventure program for older Scouts, plus much more. Mark your calendars and initial 50% deposits for camp are due 1/7/19. Total costs for Scouts is $410 and $220 for adults. If your Scout needs assistance with funding Summer Camp, there are opportunities to do fundraising with the Troop and also campership opportunities (see attached application). More information to come on Camp.     

Hello Troop 1613,

Attached is the 2019 Troop Camping and Event Calendar. The calendar has a great mix of campouts in deserts, mountains, beaches and even lakes including Summer Camp at Chawanakee. The calendar includes fun activities like geode hunting, rockets, archery, tomahawk, hiking, gold mine tour, cycling, bouldering, body surfing, backpacking and a ghost town tour. We also have our ongoing community service projects throughout the year including the Brookhaven Elementary School garden clean-up, California Coastal clean-up and Operation Christmas Child along with the many other great Eagle Scout service projects. Yours in Scouting!     

Operation Christmas Child HAS BEEN CANCELLED! It seems that they finished packing the boxes early this year! We will schedule for an earlier date next year. Thank you!
