Carson Receives Kasser Scholarship

Carson Di Maria, an Eagle Scout from our troop, has done excellent work and was awarded the Kasser Family Scholarship! Great job representing the troop and scouts!

Troop 186 2021 Intro Update

Hello scouts, parents, families, scoutmasters! As 2021 begins, the troop has been working on lots more merit badges online through Zoom, at a rate of about two different merit badges every month! Eagle scout merit badges are also being learned, with lots of scouts working on the Big Three (Personal Fitness, Personal Management, Family Life), and some of them are finished with all of them, just through this online period. As vaccines become more and more available, I am anticipating a summer return to normal activities, which will feature a massive Court of Honor for all the awesome badges that the scouts have earned. Jordan is also working on his corona-friendly electronic Eagle Scout Project. More to come in the following months!

New Leadership Change:

SPL: Jordan

ASPL: Devin

Troop 186 September Quarantine Update

After 6 months of the events going on, and a while since the previous update, here are the things we have been doing during these unfortunate times (which hopefully end next month(!)):

Merit badge lessons are done over Zoom every week, with some Eagle badges thrown in.

SMCs and BORs also continue, over Zoom (and yes, ranks have advanced!), and so do awesome game nights with games like Skribbl, Jackbox, and more.

The troop also did a great cleanup day, led by Devin, where the scout hut saw people for the first time in five months. It was a success, and the scouts felt right at home again for a short while.

Here is a video covering a virtual skit(!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rjw2LIMbPE

Photos from the clean up day will be posted as the next gallery entry: http://www.troop186.tv/gallery/nggallery/camp-outs/Scout-Clean-Up-Day-2020

Hope everyone is happy and well, and we hope to see everyone when this all passes over, which hopefully will be next month!

Quarantine Updates

Hello! During this unfortunate outbreak we all are facing, the scouts have remotely kept in touch with each other. We had a “camp in” on National Campout Day, where people set out their tents in their backyards. The scouts have also been doing merit badge training every week for 40 minutes with various merit badges on Zoom. The scouts have kept up very well and will have lots of award once this all blows over.

Eagle Award

Matt Gardner and Susan Hicks recently attended the Troop 186 Court of Honor.  Mr. Gardner presented Carson Di Maria with the 2019 Glenn A. and Melinda W. Adams National Eagle Scout Service Project of the Year Award for Catalina Council. His Eagle project was great and really helped out the community.
