The Great Troop 222

By Tyler Ronning

This past weekend Boy Scout Troop 222 went on a camping trip up a local hill named Mt. Zizi. They left to hike up the hill on Frida and camped there for 2 nights before returning down the mountain on Sunday morning.

These Boy Scouts were required to hike up all the supplies that they may need for the weekend. Before they went on the campout though they were required to participate in a water hike in order to bring up water for drinking and cooking during the campout. On the day of the campout, they left at around 4:30 to hike up the mountain and arrived at their campsite a bit after an hour and a half later.

A current Boy Scout and the previous Senor Patrol Leader, Julien Goh said:

“Dom burning our hair

Our tents flooding at midnight

Agony; despair”

He has been on many campouts, and as some people know, where the scouts go, the rain follows. He took this form of writing a quote because one of the fun things that scouts did on their own on the campout was performing haikus. Scouts do lots of fun things on their campouts such as playing games, cooking their own food, completing service projects, playing in waterfalls, pranking other scouts, hanging out, and other exciting activities.

Unfortunately, due to Covid, Boy Scouts have no longer been able to hold their meetings at school, but they are still running! Every Tuesdays from 6-7 pm, unless it is the week after a campout. If you are interested and are in middle school, we would love to have you join. Contact Dominic Cheang at dcheang@studnet.dalat.org for more info about trying out scouts.
