This is part two of our new series: The Monthly Rewind. In it, I recap all that went on in the month—the events we had, the things we learned, the highlights of the month overall, and how we showed Scout Spirit.
On the tenth of March, our troop, instead of having a traditional meeting, had a night hike around San Francisco. We combined with the Sea Scouts and even learned a thing or two about how they are organized from their presentation. Overall the hike, in my opinion, was beautiful, as we finished at Presidio Tunnel Tops overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge at night.
Most importantly, we stopped for ice cream halfway through (which kept everyone focused) and those who had ordered cherry ice cream received theirs first.
Night Hike
To start off the month of March, our troop completed a ten-mile hike to Cataract Falls, beginning at a brutal 6:30 in the morning.
Although the elevation gain was over 2,000 feet and the return route was all uphill, our Scouts gave the hike high marks.

The same week, we had our second annual Mystery Trip. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend, so the details remain shrouded in mystery. All I can say is that I heard great things about it and look forward to attending Mystery Trip III.

To finish out the short, short month of February, we performed our regular San Francisco Recreation & Parks service at Lake Merced. As a troop, we logged 20 hours of community service helping SFRPD gardeners remove three truckloads of invasive ice plant. Cheers to Ryan, Oliver, Jimmy, Skyler, Hayden, Zachary, and Arhaan for their hard work.
Community Service
Although February was not the busiest of months for Troop 333, we learned and practiced many skills—including flag ceremonies, knots and lashings, orienteering, and winter camping. Most of all, we learned teamwork, helped each other, and gave back to our community.
Overall, I’d say February was a great month for the Troop. We’ve got a lot planned for March, so check back next month for the next installment of the Rewind!
