Hello Troop!

It’s FISHING TIME! Troop 805 is going to take a day fishing trip out to the California Delta. We’ll be fishing for Striped Bass and Catfish at a location still to be determined. No fishing experience is necessary!

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are limited to 10 scouts and 4 adults for this activity. The first 10 scouts to register will get the spots. Each participant will need their own fishing rod and reel. The troop will provide tackle (hooks and sinkers) and bait. We’ll be meeting bright and early to meet the tides and (hopefully) some hungry fish. Be sure to bring a bag lunch and plenty of snacks!

We will be following proper social distancing protocols on this outing. Scouts will have their temperature taken at the start of the event, and will be required to wear a mask and maintain 6 feet of social distance as much as possible throughout the activity.

We will need 2-3 adults to come on this trip and be drivers (adults who come must drive). Carpooling will be done maintaining one empty seat in between all riders. See you on the Delta! – Mr. Castro

Date: Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4
Time: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Bring: your own face mask, water bottle, and snack or bagged lunch
RSVP: Troopmaster – Saturday; Troopmaster – Sunday

Do A Good Turn Daily! That’s the Boy Scout slogan. We have a wonderful opportunity to honor our slogan with the upcoming School Service Project at Sycamore Valley Elementary School, home of our weekly troop meetings where we will be repainting the US Map on their school’s playground blacktop.

Temperatures will be taken using a contactless thermometer and anyone registering over 100 °F will not be allowed to participate.

This project is limited to 10 Scouts. You must be healthy to participate. Scouts may not sign up for both days of the project.

OSPL needed – Please contact ASM.

Date and Time: Sat. 9/12 from 7:00 to 8:00 PM
RSVP: Troopmaster
Cost: Free
Uniform: Class B

This workshop is led by Mrs. Grace Dagen and Mr. Howard Lee via Zoom. The meeting information will be sent to those who signed up via Troopmaster.

Love to take pictures? This is the merit badge for you. To participate, simply have a working camera that is not a cell phone. Ideally a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR), or mirror less, camera where you can adjust the shutter speed and aperture.

Take your family on the Highlander or Rim of the Bay hikes! It’s a great way to stay fit, explore the great outdoors, and earn patches. Participation can also help with the Tenderfoot rank and the Backpacking, Camping, and Hiking Merit Badges requirements.

The Highlander program is a series of 14 hikes. The Rim of the Bay program is a series of 6 hikes up local mountain tops. Please click on the patch icons to learn more about these programs.

When you finish a hike, send an email with a photo of your hike to awards@troop805.com. You will receive a center patch for your first hike and a “rocker” that shows the name of the hike. Rockers are awarded for each additional hike completed.

Remember to check online for park closures and follow all park guidelines. During this pandemic, always protect yourself and others in the parks by wearing a face mask and keeping six feet apart. Clean up and pack out any litter you come upon.

Have fun!

The annual Kiwanis 4th of July Parade will take place on Saturday, July 4th, 2020 from approximately 10am-noon. Due to COVID-19, the parade has gone virtual this year as a livestream event. We will also be showing a pre-parade slideshow of past parade photos, 2020 grad yard signs, and flags from approximately 8am-10am, with the possibility of a surprise guest or two!

The Kiwanis Club of San Ramon Valley has organized and conducted the annual Kiwanis 4th of July Parade in partnership with the Town of Danville since 1975. The parade typically attracts 30,000-40,000 spectators each year and is a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate America’s birth. We hope that this year’s live, virtual event will allow even more people in the SF Bay Area and around the country to join us.
