Yosemite is more than just the valley. In a week, families in Chi Lang will head up to Yosemite for a week to explore the different parts of Yosemite, including Hetch Hetchy, Yosemite Valley, Toulomne Meadows, June Lake, Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, and Glacier Point.

Every troop has a yell. It’s often one word that captures the core essence of that organization.

Chi Lang!
Tien!

One word. Tien, or Forward.

Moving forward. Moving ahead. Charge ahead.

While it could be used as noun, it’s often used as a verb, to remind us to keep on moving forward in our own life, and to keep Chi Lang marching forward.

Many things may happen in life. We can dwell in the past, or we can appreciate what we have in the present, and put one foot in the front of the other.

Chi Lang! Tien!

Memorial Weekend Camp 2026.

At the end of each gathering, whether it’s a meeting or a camp, we sing two closing songs. As we hold hands, left hand over the right hand, symbolizing the tightness of the square knot, we are reminded by the lyrics to keep that scouting bond and cherish the moments we spent together.

A big part of scouting is the outdoors. In less than two weeks, families head up to Yosemite for a week to enjoy nature and explore Yosemite. Each family is responsible for their own, but they’re all working together to room together and carpool. It will be a week of fun, fellowship, and exploration.

Girl Scouts of Orange County Silver Award candidates cooked some snacks to share with the troop. So yummy to the tummy.

After every camp, we do a post camp gear check. This article was taken from the Scoutmaster Minute:

“Respect - Troop Gear and the Scout

Every tent, stove, rope, lantern, and trailer in our troop tells a story. They’ve been carried through rainstorms, campouts, hikes, and adventures by Scouts who came before you, and someday, future Scouts will use that same gear after you’re gone.

Taking care of Troop gear isn’t just about equipment. It’s about respect.

Respect for the Scouts who worked to earn the money to buy it.
Respect for the people who will use it next.
Respect for yourselves, because responsible Scouts leave things better than they found them.

A dirty pot, a wet tent packed away, or a broken tool left unfixed may seem small today, but small things become big problems later. Leadership often shows up in the little things;

Cleaning the stove properly,
Rolling ropes neatly,
Checking gear before putting it away,
Making sure the next Scout is set up for success.

A Scout is Trustworthy and Thrifty. Taking care of troop gear is one simple way we live those words every time we camp.

Every tent, stove, rope, lantern, and trailer in our troop tells a story. They’ve been carried through rainstorms, campouts, hikes, and adventures by Scouts who came before you. Someday, future Scouts will use that same gear after you’re gone.

Give them the same opportunity you've had, trusted and tested gear that is proven and taken care of. The ultimate step to success.”
