The "Heroes in the Community" event is happening TOMORROW!!!
|
|
Are your Scouts aware of the amazing heroes that exist in our community that keep our cities moving, successful and amazing?
|
Are your Scouts aware of the behind-the-scenes individuals who do so much for our communities and never got the spotlight they deserve?
|
Do your Scouts have requirements this year to meet certain individuals such as police officers, elected officials or firefighters and you are struggling with finding a way to organize these gatherings?
|
Come out to the inaugural "Heroes in the Community" sponsored by Scouting America and Newark Vice Mayor Eve Marie Little! This event is being put together so that all kids in the tri-city area have a chance to meet and shake hands with the folks that build our communities! So far we have had Assemblymember Alex Lee, Senator Aisha Wahab, Newark Police Department, Alameda County Firefighters, Newark Rotary Club, Alameda County Library and so many more have signed up!
|
When your scout arrives, they will be given a "Bingo-like" card which they will go to each hero booth to get stamped. After they have gone to all the booths, they come to the final table and get a prize! There will also be several advancements/requirements that will be signed off by attending this event so make sure to come out!
|
DATE: Saturday, October 4th from 10am to 1pm
|
WHERE: Silliman Center, 6800 Mowry Avenue in Newark
|
COST: This event is FREE to all kids from Newark, Fremont and Union City!

UNIFORMS: Scouts are being asked to wear their Class A uniforms so we can make sure they get the right items written off.

Mission Peak Holds Another Successful Camporee
|
|
|
The 2025 Fall Camporee at Rancho Los Mochos was held September 19-21 with 375 Scouts and 65 patrols. 35 Camporee Youth Staff were led by 6 senior youth leaders: Aarav Dixit, Issak Tsaur, Siddharth Roy, Sadia Muddassir, Akshat Gupta and Aadwin Balla.
|
It was a HOT day on Saturday!! There were 12 field events, 5 Yard Work Olympics events and of course, the famous pioneering project – catapult, this time throwing water balloons at an adult staff member and several youth staff standing in the target area. The Realistic First Aid event was well attended with at least one adult believing in the injury.
|
The Youth Staff was advised by Meena Mariwalla, Brian Putt, Divya Bellamkonda and Abhijit Saha. Camporee weekend would not have been possible without the support of the 23 other adult volunteers who played key roles on staff. The overall winning Troop was T176 – Congratulations!!!! With 2nd place to T273 and a virtual tie for 3rd between T269 and T2273. Congratulations to all of the winners of Camporee events; everyone was a winner as they had FUN!
