Dear Reader,

I began work on the staff flag at midnight this morning. 0000. Working I cut out the flag from the fabric, did all the measurements cut out and sewed the Goshawk on and framed the flag.

I also attached the flag to the staff in a temporary fix because it does not have the call on it yet. I completed work on the staff at 0530 in the morning. It was a late night hahaha. And we had a flag for retreat. So it was worth it.

Mount Laguna Camping Trip (First Troop Snow Trip) Day 2

  Mount Laguna Camping Trip (First Troop Snow Trip) Day 2 March 8, 2025 Written by Alexander Jairam Photos and Videos by Joseph Jairam Dear Reader, It was cold. Ice covered our shoes, water covered our sleeping bags, and gloves covered our hands. Until we had to tie our shoes. Then we took our gloves off. We woke up at 0630 and got out of the tent to start cooking breakfast. Since we were using Joshie’s GIANT mega propane stove to cook, we had to carry the heavy thing all the way from Hedgehog’s van to the picnic table we had for our campsite. For some reason, the picnic table was farther from the tent site then it should have been. We also had to bring the cooler full of food to the picnic table which was also kind of heavy. Maybe it just felt heavy because we were walking through 4-6 inch deep snow.

Mount Laguna Camping Trip (First Troop Snow Trip) Day 3

  Mount Laguna Camping Trip (First Troop Snow Trip) Day 3 March 9, 2025 Written by Alexander Jairam Dear Reader, It was cold, again. Ice didn’t cover our shoes, water didn’t cover our sleeping bags, but gloves still covered our hands. Until we had to tie our shoes. Then we took our gloves off. We woke up at 0530 to put away the tent so we could leave by 0700. All Goshawks were ready by 0630 but everyone else was still packing up so we waited. Elk found a plastic water bottle in our campsite and we had to do 20 pushups. (I did it this time.) When everyone was done putting stuff away, it was 0730. We left for Julian. Thirty minutes later, we arrived. We got a very quick review of the rules, and the patrols and the patrols split up at 0804. No leaders accompanied the patrols. We traveled from plaque to plaque, historical building to historical building. We tried interview after interview but most people refused interviews because everyone was opening shops or going to work. Forty-fo...

Oak Grove Camping Trip (The Trip We Became A Patrol And A Troop Day 3)

  Oak Grove Camping Trip ( The Trip We Became A Patrol And A Troop Day 3) April 27, 2025 Written by Alexander Jairam Dear Reader, We woke up at 0530 which is super early. We quickly got ready for mass and went to the Panther campsite to attend mass. Mass started a little late, but it was ok. After mass our patrol went back to o campsite to put away the tent and everything else we brought with us. When this was done, we were ready to leave. We piled into the van, and, for a long time, did nothing. I don’t know what was keeping us from leaving, but we waited for a while. When Hedgehog, and everyone else who was leaving in the van had come, we left. Since we had mass on the mountain, we were able to drive straight to Hedgehog’s house which I liked very much. When we got to Hedgehog’s house we said our farewells and parted ways. We left for the campsite as un-official, but we left the campsite as true Goshawks. Except for Andrew, he got sworn in on April 28, 2025, the next day at a ...
