Atascadero Memorial Day Services 2014 with Boy Scout Troop 226

Every year Atascadero Troop 226 is asked to be the color guard at the local Memorial Day services. Our time to pay back VFW Post 2814 for being our troop charter and supporting us for these many years, and a time to honor all those who have served our great country.

Thank you Mr. Brown for taking these great photos.

Whitewater Rafting 2013

We just got back from a very fun and wet time of whitewater rafting on the Kaweah River. The water was low and it was a different experience than in previous years but still very fun, wet and wild. There were 17 of us in all, on three boats, lots of water fights, getting stuck in the surf, and getting stuck on rocks.

Bike Ride to Cambria

Last Saturday the Troop went on a afternoon bike ride from highway 46 to Cambria on the very scenic but twisty Santa Rosa Creek Road. It was amazingly beautiful with wild flowers, green hills and happy cows. Some riders even saw a bobcat during the ride. The boys were rewarded with a pizza parlor as our final destination A special thanks to our Scout Master, Mr. Monson for driving the sag wagon instead of riding.

Montana De Oro 10 Miler

 Our 10 mile training hike at Montana De Oro went great, the weather and views were spectacular! The boys all did great with their loaded up backpacks and even had ample energy for exploring the tide pools and running up and down the dues numerous times. Thanks to Mr Whilhite for leading this and the 3 day backpack tip coming up in January.
