Hello Minuteman Patrol,

can we start to bring the patrol flag to EVERY SINGLE MEETING AND CAMPOUT?

because one of the requirements for tenderfoot is:

#8 Know your patrol name, give the patrol yell, and describe your patrol yell.

I put this up so that we can pass off this requierment because I have never seen the patrol flag at all.

Indian Grinding Rock SHP
State Historic Park

Indian Grinding Rock State Historic Park is located in the Sierra Nevada foothills eight miles east of Jackson. The park nestles in a little valley 2,400 feet above sea level with open meadows and large valley oaks that once provided the native Americans of this area with an ample supply of acorns. The park was created in 1968 and preserves a great outcropping of marbleized limestone with some 1,185 mortar holes — the largest collection of bedrock mortars in North America.

Location/Directions
The park is northeast of Stockton in the lower foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Take State Highway 88 East through Jackson to the town of Pine Grove.  Take a left turn on the Pine-Grove-Volcano Road, and about a mile and a half later you will enter the Park. The SECOND turnoff is the main entrance (the first is to the small campground).

Seasons/Climate/Recommended clothing
The Sierra foothills experience warm, dry summers and cool, moist winters. Many summer days exceed ninety degrees. Snow falls occasionally during the winter in the Chaw’se area, but most precipitation takes the form of rain.

 

We did lashing and knots.  First aid and a 5 miles walk this weekend.

There were 6 new scouts and 3 older scouts that helped out at this campout.
