Shakedown
Shakedown weekend Apr 30 - May 2 was a full scale dress rehearsal at the Firestone Scout Reservation in Brea.

Once the camps were set up, patrols had a slew of jamboree style activities to visit including shotgun, various games and challenges, and a camp wide game.- First Class Knowledge Relay
- Missile Command (blindfolded bean bag toss)
- Tomahawk throw
- Bull whips
- Gutterball
- Blindfolded Obstical course
- Pillow jousting
- Shotgun
- Scout Spirit and Songs
- Swamp Crossing
- Woggle making
The hard working volunteer commissary staff prepared food boxes for the 36 patrols, 3 times a day.
Truck Loading
Loading day was July 17 at a local Costa Mesa business where all the troops brought their equipments in a staged delivery so the trucks would be loaded in the right order.
Duffel bags, gateway, all the troop camping gear, had to get loaded on the trucks. Some scouts make good use of their time while waiting to load.
Observing how quickly our gear got loaded on the truck, this troop is well on the way to being a Performing team
