The safety of our Scouts and our families is of the upmost importance to the leaders of Pack 705.  I'm sure most of you are aware of the current situation with the Covid 19 virus and the efforts by numerous business, sports clubs, schools, and other agencies to address public health and safety.

Sunday 2/9 is the designated Sunday for Scout Mass where our Scouts can take an active roll in the 11am mass @ St. Edward the Confessor. Depending on how many families attend, our Scouts may have the ability to demonstrate leadership and service by assisting the ushers, bringing up the gifts and providing flag bearers, among other activites. As with all Cub Scout activities, all family and friends are welcome.

I've had to change the date of the hike due to a work conflict.  Please join us for the January hike.  Since this is the last hike for our scouts that are bridging out, I’ve selected a special hike for them.  The Boat Road Trail with a modification (see attached) in the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park.  This is a great 5 mile hike that is labeled as moderate but felt a little more challenging than that.  The Boat Road Trail is steep in several parts, but the Water Tank Road and the last mile of the hike that winds thru a beautiful trail that ties back into the Boat Road Trail is one of the more beautiful hikes we’ve done.  My family did it the other day.  Scott didn’t complain too much, was able to complete the whole thing, but was tired at the end.  It may be too challenging for some of the younger scouts.  Remember to bring your essentials.   (Flashlight, Water, Whistle, First Aid Kit, Sun Protection, Trail Food).  If you have any questions, feel free to call or text.
