Troop Meeting: Teamwork and knife skills
Our Scouts explored what we call the Patrol Method through a hands-on challenge. They discovered they could pick up more balloons working together rather than individually; a fun reminder that leadership isn’t about doing everything yourself, but helping your patrol achieve more as a team.
They also practiced their Knife Safety 101 skills in the tastiest way possible: practicing “chipping” with Toblerones. Safe knife handling and dessert? That’s a win-win.

Redwoods, Campfires & 1,200 Feet of Adventure!
We went and hiked in up 1200 ft and saw beautiful redwoods at Samuel P. Taylor Park. We also engaged in an engineering feat of hanging our smores from a "fishing pole" of paper-clips over the camp fire that the girls started and tended to (under close supervision!)

Knot-Tying, Games & New Friends: Jamboree with Troop 402
Troop 777 joined Scouts from across the area at a multi-troop Jamboree hosted by Lafayette Troop 402. It was an afternoon full of games, community building, and hands-on learning. Scouts rotated through skill stations - like knot-tying, teamwork challenges, and problem-solving activities - while getting to meet and collaborate with girls from other troops.
A huge thank you to Troop 402 for creating such a welcoming and warm event!

Troop 777 at Bodega Bay: Ocean Views, Beaches & Campfire Songs
Troop 777 spent the day hiking at Bodega Bay - literally at the edge of the continent. Scouts followed trails overlooking the Pacific Ocean before making their way down to the beach, where we even passed a wedding taking place in the sand. Along the way, Scouts explored moss-covered rocks, shared discoveries, and ended our day singing campfire songs together from the Scout Songbook. It was a beautiful mix of adventure, nature, and Scout spirit.
