Hey guys! This is the newest and coolest page on the site!
Now you guys can write up comments to the troop and us. Just put your name, the topic (title) of your comment, and the number of patrols in the troop.   (You can find the link on the sidebar) or click here http://www.troop390.org/submit-a-post
This is to make sure nobody outside of our troop can randomly post a comment. It’s just better that way.

Thanks and have fun!
- Drake, Webmaster

Hey guys, it’s Blake and I’m the new Newsletter Scribe. If you’re the leader of any past or upcoming trip, let me know at the meetings before the month ends. Write a summary of your trip and email to me at contrerasblake@gmail.com. I will make bulletins at the meetings this month, and I will put my email on the table. This is for the Fat Cow. If you can’t email me or tell me at the meetings my number is on the roster.

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.
