More details will follow\, but we have selected Sunday\, Nov 27 since planning such a long ride takes some coordination and there are a few families who have offered to help provide support along the route. \nThe “round trip” course begins at Zuma/ Malibu to Pt. Hueneme in Ventura County and back. All cyclists are welcome to join the troop on our longest and merit badge required ride of this cycling season. \nWe will ride along Pacific Coast Hwy from the designated location at 7:30 a.m. sharp. Free parking along PCH. We should finish around 12:30 returning to the same location. This ride meets the 50 mile required ride for the merit badge\, and for those scouts who have earned the merit badge in the past\, this can be a great way to earn the National Outdoor Award Riding Badge requiring a minimum of 200 miles of riding. (There are additional silver pins for each 100 miles thereafter and a gold pin for a combined 400 miles.) \nPlease reach out to me if you have any questions. My cell/ text number is (626) 695-2239.

We will meet at the flagpoles near the Virginia entrance; note that the Scout House entrance to Lacy Park is usually closed on weekends. \nThese signoffs are often difficult for our scouts to obtain – so this is a great chance to get them. Come on out Sunday to join our SPL and ASPLs to tackle the famous Troop 355 Orienteering Course. See which of you has the right stuff to successfully navigate the course and identify all the correct trees! We will also discuss finding directions without using a compass\, and measuring the height and width of designated items like trees and streams. In addition\, we will cover the GPS requirements that are in the new version of the handbook\, so please bring a smartphone with Googlemaps installed if you are able (if you are unable to do this you can team up with a buddy). \nBy completing these navigation and orienteering requirements\, scouts will be able to complete First Class Signoffs 1 and 2 (old version of the handbook) or First Class Signoffs 4a and 4b\, plus Second Class Signoff 3d (new handbook). \nPlease bring your compass\, your Scout Handbook and a pen or pencil (in addition to the phone with Googlemaps). We would also recommend a daypack with water and a jacket. \nIf you would like to obtain these signoffs and have a conflict on Sunday afternoon\, please let Mr. Moffat know – if there is interest we will do our best to offer a makeup opportunity to obtain these signoffs before the December BOR deadline.
