Cub Scout Pack 700 – Morgan Hill, CA

Pack 700 visited the historic USS Hornet this weekend and participated in their awesome Over Night  Crew program. 60 scouts and parents from Pack 700 stayed aboard. There were nearly 500 scouts present. Tours of the ship include the engine room, bridge (complete with red hot-line phone), the brig, catapult room, and many other spaces that are normally off limits to regular visitors.  At the end of the evening there are also ghost stories!  You eat in the regular mess hall aboard the ship and sleep in the same birthing areas the original crew did when the ship was alive with 3,000 active crew during her long and highly decorated service.  In this photo, Christopher D stands guard over the most important piece of equipment on the bridge – the coffee machine.

Hi!

Sorry for the delay.  Somebody actually came looking for the results for the Quicksilver District races.  They are now posted under the Quicksilver PWD link over there on the left.  This year was a mixed bag.  We had more packs participating, but fewer overall cars.  BUT!!!  Everybody that didn’t participate missed the air powered open classs car that was as fast going down the track as it was going back up!  It was crazy cool.

A huge thank you to everyone that helped set up and run the race!
