Pack 405 GTX

REI is having their biggest sale of the year. Lots of cool camping stuff — including green zip off pants that work REALLY well for BSA uniform pants.

Congratulations to Troop 405! Recently the scouts went to the San Gabriel Camporee and brought home awards for BOTH Top Unit and Top Patrol!

If you don't know what Camporee is, it is a weekend campout where all of the San Gabriel BSA units (Georgetown, Liberty Hill, Florence, Jarrell, and Granger) meet for fellowship, skill competitions, and fun.

Not only did our scouts win at Camporee, but the Troop brought home the top GOLD rating for Journey to Excellence for the 10th year in a row! The gold award is the highest rating a troop can get and demonstrates above and beyond excellence for how the troop is run and managed. Troops are rated on planning, budgeting, membership, volunteer leadership and the overall program. The gold rating is difficult to achieve, especially year after year. It is a fantastic indication of the quality and health of a program and its ability to serve youth.

Young cubs (and especially Webelos!), look to these older scouts for inspiration. When you transition into Troop 405, be confident that the next leg of your scouting journey will be amazing.
