Summertime Fishing Adventure at the Martinez Marina

Our group walking out to the pier.

Fishing in Martinez on a bright and breezy Saturday morning 8-15-2015 with the pack was an adventure to remember! This was the last scheduled outdoor activity for Pack 380 this summer. Thank you to Lori for bringing snacks to share and thanks to Scoutmaster Llata and James Banta and all the parents for making it a fun time for all.

Here fishie, fishie, fishie!

We all baited our fishing poles with anchovies or clams and laid in wait for a tug on the line.  Cub scouts Alex, Ryan, Jacob, Sam, James and Nikolas all did their best practicing how to bait and cast their fishing lines.

The littlest fisherman caught the biggest fish of all today.

Boy scouts (also former Pack 380 alums) Ryan and David; and girl scout, Bonnie were present. A cub scout's little sister caught the largest fish which caused quite a lot of excitement and cheering from the pack.

Look at this catch!!

WOW!

After a couple of proud fishing photos were taken, the fish was released.
 

Fishing is fun! 

Alex and Ryan pulled up a couple of baby crabs which quickly dropped off the bait as soon as they  were pulled out of the water.  

Staring intently at the boat creating a wake in the bay.

The weather felt much cooler over the water than the three digit temperature reading reported by the weatherman. It felt nice and breezy out on the pier. 

Thank you to Lori for bringing snacks to share! Thanks to Scoutmaster Llata and James Banta for taking the lead and thanks to all the parents for making it a fun time for all.

I hope I catch a fish!

Scouting at Woodside with Pack 380

May 2015 Pack Meeting and Advancement Ceremony

The last pack meeting of the year was also advancement for most of our pack. Our lone active Tiger Cub became a Wolf Cub. Wolf Cubs advanced to become Bear Cubs. Bears Cubs were promoted to become the newest class of Webelos. Way to go scouts! We look forward to another terrific year starting next month.

 

Pack 380 - 2015 Pinewood Derby Car Races

We had another outstanding derby and fun was had by all!  Never too late to start thinking about a design for 2016!

Blue & Gold Dinner 2015

Pack 380 celebrated the birthday of scouting with the Blue & Gold dinner!

We had an amazing night of Lego building with the instructors at Play-Well TEKnologies!

A big thanks to all the parents in supporting your scouts in their adventures in scouting!
