A Visit from Troop 108: On a bright and warm Sunday morning, our troop got a lucky visit from Troop 108 to connect with one another and to see how our cultures (Indian and Vietnamese) affects the way we do scouting. During flag ceremony, we respected different flags and sang unique songs in unlike languages. After flag ceremony, we moved on to setting ourselves into mixed groups, and got to know one another and learned about our differences. We created our own patrol name, flag, and yell, and played games with each other. These games taught us that even though we are different cultures and speak different languages at home, we still can find similarities and use the differences to help us crush any obstacle (the games) that come between us. Some of these games were a stick game where you worked with your team to pass the sticks without getting your foot stuck in them, steal the bacon where we worked against each other, and a first aid game where we combined our knowledge in first aid to help save a victim (one of our teammates) from a made up injury. Thank you Troop 108 for spending the time to visit our troop!

About 50 scouts and leaders in our Troop 745/2745 along with parents rode about 17.5 miles (about 8.2 miles each way) starting from Ramblewood Park along the Coyote Trail to Metcalf Road and back. The troop members that participated include Scouts, Venture Crew & Cubs. We made multiple stops and breaks along the way for snacks, water and even flat tires. Around halfway through the trip, we stopped and rested at a park. When we came back to Ramblewood, Troop 745/2745 had some pizza and celebrated Jaylyn’s birthday. Overall this was a very fun trip, and I enjoyed biking with the troop.

The LDHB Scout Troop consists of boys and girls ranging from age 11 to 18. Hòa Bình follows the America Boy Scout program to prepare every eligible youth to become a responsible, participating citizen and leader who is guided by the Scout Oath and Scout Law and to enable young adults in their physical, mental and physical development with a strong focus on the outdoors and survival skills. However, boys and girls over 14 have a choice to join Venture Crew so that they can experience more challenge and outdoor adventure.
The LDHB Scout Troop is structured using the Patrol Method.
“The patrol method is not a way to operate a Boy Scout troop, it is the ONLY way
Unless the patrol method is in operation, you don’t really have a Boy Scout troop”
Patrols are the building blocks of a Scout troop. A patrol is a small group of boys and/or girls who are similar in age, development, and interests. Working together as a team, patrol members share the responsibility for the patrol’s success. All patrol members enjoy the friendship, sense of belonging, and achievements of the patrol and of each of its members. They gain confidence by serving in positions of patrol leadership.
Scout Oath:
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
Scout Law
A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.
