Hello scouts - this is Nuwan Dewasurendra, and I'm looking for help with my upcoming Eagle Project build. My project involves constructing a Bulletin board for Athletic Facility in Del Norte High School. Any help is appreciated and your time will earn service hours. Please see details on troop website calendar here.   

 Iron Mountain, Stanley Peak (c'mon Philmont)     

Lots of scout and adult participation is needed to help with the Independence Day July 4th Flag Ceremony presented by our Chartered Organization, the Rancho Bernardo Veterans Memorial Association, and the General J.P. Holland Chapter of the Military Order of World Wars. Troop 685 scouts with adult help and supervision will load in the gear from storage and help set up the area. Then from 10:45 to 11:30, Troop 685 scouts will perform the presentation of colors, lead the Pledge of Allegiance, and will present the flags of the 13 original colonies. After the ceremony ends at 11:30, Troop 685 scouts and adults will break down the area after the ceremony, load the gear in the truck, and return the gear to storage. Wear Class A uniform please and look sharp. More details and sign up here.

Scouts will learn key radio communication concepts using the EDGE method, visit the ship’s radio communications center, and conduct radio operations from the flight deck.

Radio Merit Badge instruction runs 8:00 AM–12:00 PM, followed by Scout-led Midway Magic from 12:00–5:00 PM. Cost is $20 per Scout, which includes a full day on the USS Midway. For more information or to register, contact Samantha Hunter at shunter@midway.org. (Wildly popular - only 1 date left) 

Adult Volunteers - Troop 685's success depends entirely on the strength and presence of our adult volunteers. To provide a high-quality, safe experience for our youth, we maintain a 5:1 adult-to-scout ratio and require a minimum of three adults for every outing. Great training opportunties are available! Whether you are interested in joining us at an outing or prefer a "behind the scenes" support role, your contribution is vital. If you’ve ever considered stepping up, we would love to find a spot for you—please see the attachment or click here for more details!
