Summer Camp Packlist

Troop 390’s jeep rode through the streets in the July 4th Parade. Proudly representing our Troop, some scouts walked beside or rode in the jeep.

Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, who provided the Eagle flags shown mounted on the Jeep, posed for a picture next to two of our scouts.

Recently, scouts from Troop 390 helped clean mannequins at the Red Cross. Over 200 mannequins were in great need of cleaning. These ranged from babies to a full size Rescue Randy. After cleaning, the scouts came back to earn their CPR and AED training certification.

Troop 390 has a Newsletter which is called the Fat Cow. It contains info on past trips, jokes, and more. It has comments on trips from scouts who organized the trips. Find out whats going on!
