Troops 323 & 3323 Phoenix Arizona
Our Venture Patrol visited Flagstaff Extreme in April 2025, where they navigated an obstacle course nearly 60 feet off the ground! They learned the safety procedures for the course, before having a great time attempting to complete it. Most of the patrol finished the entire course and some of them even completed the extra-challenging section. Then everyone ate ice cream afterward.
Our scouts toured the USS Midway, an aircraft carrier that was once the largest ship in the world, in February 2025. After driving to San Diego and visiting the beach, our scouts boarded the USS Midway, learned about its history, and worked on the Aviation Merit Badge! Afterward, we spent the night on the ship and slept in berths. We completed our activities the next day.
Howie constructed several benches for Liberty Wildlife for his Eagle Project in February 2025. On the first day of his project, he led our scouts in painting the cinder blocks we’d use, and adding primer to the wood planks to protect them. On the second day, we moved the materials into place and constructed the benches, after flattening the ground around them so they’d be level.
In January 2025, our scouts camped at Kartchner Caverns State Park. After we arrived on Saturday, we took a long hike around the park, then prepared dinner and camped out. The next morning, we took a tour of the caverns. During the tour, we learned about the history and biology of the caverns as well as the measures that have been taken to protect them. In order to protect the caverns, we were not allowed to take photos, as doing so would have required the camera flash to be on, and therefore, would have disturbed the wildlife.
For his Eagle Project in January 2025, Hari built a greenhouse at his middle school. His crew had to level the ground first, then assemble all of the greenhouse pieces, build it, and ensure it was secure. It took nearly 12 hours to complete the project, but now students are able to learn more by growing their own plants!
