Message:

Scout-O-Rama will take place on Saturday, Nov 8th.

Scout-O-Rama is an annual scouting expo hosted by the Orange County Council. Scouts and other youth from all over Orange County will enjoy a fun-filled day of exhibits, competitions, games, and displays. Activities include Pioneering, Archery, Cooking Demonstrations, Scouting Skills, Ropes Course, Pinewood Derby, Pan for Gold, and many more! … And it’s all FREE!!!

Troop 918 has hosted a donut-making booth for the last several years, and it's a Scout favorite! We get great feedback every year from our scouts, and they have a great time! Many scouts stay all day.

Scouts and parents typically enjoy a good portion of the day participating in Scout-O-Rama activities in addition to supporting our Troop booth! Plan to stay and have a great time.

We Need Your Help

This is a huge Scouting recruitment event in Orange County, so our council expects all units to participate, in turn, we need all families to participate. In addition to spending the day enjoying the great fun offered, we need Scouts and parents to work our joint Pack/Troop 918 booth. We will be making and serving donuts. This has been a popular and fun 918 event for many years at Scout-O-Rama.

Please do the following steps ASAP

Sign Up for GroupMe Notifications

Message:

We are moving from the Remind app to GroupMe for time-sensitive announcements (like campout return time). This is primarily due to a change that Remind made to text message notification capabilities. GroupMe allows text message notifications to be turned on and should be a good solution for us.

Please sign-up ASAP. We will be using GroupMe for future announcements.
