Troop 259 went camping at Sly Park, near Po***ck Pines on March 13-15. Fun fact about Sly Park: There’s an area within it called “Scout Hill” which, for decades, has been a famous campground for Scouts and Girl Scouts. And it's still used today! (Although our troop didn't camp there.) Our troop went hiking, fishing, and got lots of things signed off during our stay. Overall, we had an amazing time, and we can’t wait till we get to camp there again.

On the 13th-14th of February, 2026, Troop 259 went on a campout at Westgate Landing. Although we had to leave early because of a storm rolling in, we still had a fun time. We fished, hunted for rocks, got requirements signed off, and some scouts even earned their Totin’ Chip and Firem’n Chit! We did encounter some problems with the water, as it wasn’t safe to drink, but our crafty Scouts overcame that. All you had to do was boil the water, and let it cool down again. Overall our campout was fun, and we avoided the rain successfully.

On Saturday March 8, Troop 259 participated in the Scouting for Food event, which collects food to help others in need. We collected over 280 non-perishable food items and delivered them to the South Sacramento Interfaith Partnership Food Closet. We’re pleased to make a difference in our community through Scouting for Food!

In January we had an exciting overnight adventure on the USS Hornet ship museum. The ship’s history includes World War II through the Vietnam War, and also the recovery of the Apollo 11 and 12 astronauts, who walked on the Moon. In addition to a tour of the ship to learn how the sailors lived and worked, we learned about history, science, and engineering through hands-on activities. Interesting exhibits included a helicopter used for anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue operations, airborne early warning, and more.
