Hello Camporee Families,

The Camporee is coming up quickly at Firestone Scout Ranch in the Brea hills. As of now the location of the Camporee site is in the “Memorial Meadows” area. Though there will be a single spigot to serve the entire Camporee attendees, we’ll be treating this as a dry camp and be self sufficient. We ask that all Scouts bring a single 2 ½ gallon container of drinking water. There will also be porta-potties.

The Troop is to assemble at 5:00pm at OCBC on May 3rd on Friday. We ask that all Scouts eat dinner before arrival.

We also ask in advance for assistance after we return to OCBC to clean and sanitize the parent camp equipment while the Scouts put away their equipment. With enough hands, clean up should go quickly.

There are two maps attached: The first map is general directions from OCBC to the Firestone Ranch exit at Tonner Canyon Road in Brea. The second map is the route from Tonner Canyon to the camp site location. The road into Firestone is narrow two way road that undulates with twists and turns. Please use caution and drive safely.

Again thank you in advance for your assistance and cooperation. This should be a fun weekend!

Your Camporee Planning Families,

The Chang’s, Kato’s, Sun’s and Ueno’s

Hello All,

I just want to let everyone know that we are having the Troop 578 fishing trip leaving on Friday night, May 10th and returning on Saturday night, May 11th.

We will be taking a boat that we rode a few years back, The Eldorado. It is an 85 footer. The location will be back at the Long Beach Sportfishing, (aka Berth 55, and Queens Wharf docks). It is off the Long Beach Freeway, exiting Pico Avenue . You’ll find the parking is much better than what we’ve had recently.

I got us a good price from the generous owner, and I have a verbal subsidy from Friends of Rollo again, our fee should not be more than $80 outside of drinks and fish cleaning. Our fare will include the trip, Friday night snacks, Saturdays’ meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), and a chance of having a good time on the water. A private charter like this would be closer to $150 going to San Clemente Island .

It will be limited to 30-32 passengers… first come first aboard. First the boys and their dads, and we’ll see what happens from there. I will keep some spots for experienced guys to help the boys and dads.

Roy B. will be at the Parent Meeting with a sign up list. When you sign up, you are responsible for the spot unless we have someone to take over for you. There usually is not a problem unless you wait too close to the end. I will take a standby list if applicable to help out, but a day or two notice probably will not work out.

Details will follow soon after April 15th.

This trip is one of the excuses for not attending Scout-O-Rama… sorry


Bob W. or Roy B.

Please find attached link for the sign-up sheet for Scout O Rama. Reminder that this is a CORE Event. For those of you not attending the fishing trip, please sign up for a shift. We would like a mixture of younger and older scouts for each shift. There are separate columns for younger and older scouts, so please indicate which category you fit into. Also, for the first shift (set-up) and the last shift (clean-up) we need a few trucks or vans to help bring and take back supplies/equipment. Please indicate if you can provide one of these vehicles. We would also like to have one ASM per shift. I and Jon will be there the whole day, but could use some help.

Because the fishing trip is occurring on this same day, the amount of scouts available for this event is much smaller. Please keep in mind that we may need to ask people to move shifts so that we can make sure we have coverage throughout the day. Your cooperation in this will be greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions, please email me or Jon H.

Thanks,

Sean
