Summer Camp 2009

Troop 718 attended it's annual summer camp July 6-11 at Lost Valley Scout camp. Nine scouts and 3 adults were present for the week.

Located at Grizzly Flats in Camp Irvine, the troop had a great time earning 37 merit badges, awards for camp cleanliness and performing very well in the Ironman Triathalon.

June Whitewater Rafting

Troop, team and crew 718 from Fallbrook Second Ward LDS church went to the Upper Kern river 18-20 June for a joint campout and half day of whitewater rafting on the Upper Kern River with Whitewater Voyages (http://www.whitewatervoyages.com/). We camped at the Goldledge Campground north of Kernville and spent some time fishing and swimming in the cold Kern River. On Friday, we rafted the Upper Kern filling four boats. David A. was the first to fall out of the boat. Nick A. joined him later that day in the water.









We ate well and enjoyed one anothers company at the camp.
Thanks to the leaders who attended: Bryce P, Dale A, Jim M, Brian B, Dave J, Kenn S and Garry B. It was an outstanding event!
