Troop 606

Another summer begins with Orange County Council's week-long National Youth Leadership Training course. NYLT is not summer camp, but instead an intense 6 days of activity, learning and immersion, where participants learn to form teams, communicate, resolve conflict and problem solve within the context of Scouting. The entire program is delivered by other youth

Get some fancy swag and support our troop's trip to Iceland!

Something amazing is happening in OC. A flock of pink lawn flamingos is roosting in the yards of our community. If you want to spread some joy, while helping us raise funds for Iceland, fill out this form. https://forms.gle/RsmzBfKCytwv5CRJ9 Flocking to Iceland,

On December 12 - 14, Troop 606 had our Winter Campout at Silverwood Recreation Area. The Winter Campout is an old 606 Tradition (fees are included in annual dues).

This year we were also joined by Arrow of Light Scouts from Pack 607 and Cub Scout Pack 654 - Irvine, CA. They played on a Monkey Bridge, tried some fishing and learned about First Aid, while enjoying meals prepared by our Goat (Adult) Patrol. We also had a Raccoon try to join our Troop. (Seriously: food must stay out of tents.)

It is critical for Packs and AOLs to spend time with Troops. The younger Scouts benefit from seeing older mentors lead while deciding if the Troop "fits" them. And older Scouts benefit from being role models.
