BSA Troop 449 Renton WA

Troop 449 had their first overnight shakedown. Due to low snow levels, we didn’t get the mileage we wanted but there was opportunity for team work and practicing the patrol method. While it snowed at home, we had gorgeous weather on the coast.

A productive snow weekend for Troop 449. While the Philmont crew did a shakedown hike, the rest of the small but mighty group got started on igloos. We were able to create two igloos by lunchtime which might be a troop record. 3 scouts and our scoutmaster stayed toasty overnight in the igloos.

A perfect PNW day for a training hike up Mt. Si for the Philmont Crew (and friends).

These two have been neck and neck on completing their advancements since they crossed over from Cub Scouts so it’s only fitting that they earn their Eagles on the same night. Congratulations to Adam & Ethan!
