Here is the summary of our activities:

Icehouse Canyon Trail - Overnight Backpacking Trip 

             




On 11/26, Crew members had fun backpacking and camping at Cedar Glen Campground. From the campground they hiked another 2.6 miles to the Icehouse Saddle Cucamonga Wilderness Elevation 7600’. Good exercise to burn a few pounds gained during Thanksgiving, wasn’t it? A big big thanks to Kyle for putting this together, Thomas for capturing the moments and Adult Leaders for providing transportation! https://photos.app.goo.gl/KqnTM5Sh68StkrBP7

Huntington Beach Clean-Up & Bonfire  with Troop 606

 








On 11/19, Crew members had fun bonding around the fire with potential members from Troop606 families! Before enjoying the s’mores, we all participated in picking up trash around the beach.

It was also the Crew606’s  first induction ceremony. Five youths were inducted by our president Yasmin that night. Thank you Enzo for putting this warming event together! https://photos.app.goo.gl/jFA1QunFegACuuSg8

Santa Monica Beach Biking Trip 








On 10/9-10/10, biking 19 miles from Redondo Beach to Santa Monica along Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Marina Del Rey, and Venice Beach, Crew 606 members enjoyed exploring the city, the pier and spending the night at the fancy hostel in Santa Monica. The following morning everyone was energetic enough to continue exploring Santa Monica a little more before taking the train, and explored the Little Tokyo area before returning to the Tustin Station. Big thanks to Thomas for putting this together, recording the moments, and the Adult Leaders for providing us transportation and safety. https://photos.app.goo.gl/qSFgR68j8FeBQyAj6

Trans-Catalina Kodiak Challenge - Day 0 (Vision and Planning)

Every journey starts with a vision....for adventure, for fun, for friendship, or for memories that will last a lifetime.  Day 0 of the Kodiak Challenge, the youth learned about what is a vision, what are values, and tying them together to form a shared vision.  This is critical for the success of the Kodiak Challenge because without a shared vision; a common goal, there is no team.  Instead, it's a group of individuals.  "Vision is a doable dream, a distant goal that’s worth pursuing because it involves growth and success and provides the binding energy to bring a team together to accomplish great things." "Values are those things that really matter to us."   Planning -- Without a plan, a successful Kodiak is impossible.  With the help of the youth guides, Yasmin and Justin, the participants took ownership of their crew-based trek and started the planning process.  They first elected their trek lead, Thomas, who is also the Crew President.  N...

Bubble Run !!!

Today on November 12th we participated in the bubble run. A 5 kilometer run, that’s almost 3 miles. Our crew is mostly divided on waking up so early. But even those who enjoyed waking up early admitted that it was quite cold. “It was definitely a run” says one of our junior members. To some of our members, it even seemed short. Despite its apparent length, the members of the crew were able to take in breathtaking scenery as they ran along the course while also getting absolutely soaked in bubbles at the checkpoints. The crew can definitely say that the bubble run lived up to its name. It had both bubbles and much of our crew actually ran it. Our members had different favorite parts, some enjoyed the run itself, whilst others enjoyed the bubbles and the free sports drinks. Overall, the crew had a good time and will definitely plan more runs in the future! — Enzo, Tyler, Thomas, Keira, Ethan, and Nicholas
