Registration for 2019 – YPT

Posted on by

Please click the Annual Registration tab above to access forms and instructions to re-register Scouts and adult leaders.  All adult leaders need to complete YPT training at a minimum.  Adult leaders without YPT certification completed in 2018 must have a valid YPT certificate by Nov 5th .

Unregistered parents should also complete YPT if your certificate was not obtained in 2018.  While not mandatory, we strongly encourage at least one parent in each household to complete YPT.  Any parent who has contact with Scouts other than his/her own child is required to have a current YPT certificate from BSA.  This means driving Scouts to events, serving on Boards of Review, participating in activities, all need YPT trained adults.

Thank you adults for helping our Scouts to succeed by staying involved in Troop 4 life!

“It was fun. We got here early. There were donuts. They drove us to the base of Lake Avenue and then we slowly walked up and put American flags into holes. The flags were pulled from the Troop’s trucks following us.” -Owen

There is a long standing tradition with Troop 4 to commemorate Memorial Day, a national, patriotic holiday. On the morning of Memorial Day, May 30, 2016, led by Mrs. Wong-Martinez and Che, two teams of about seven Boy Scouts placed American flags down Lake Avenue in Pasadena. The boys walked on opposite sides of the sidewalk and set the flags in their place holders. Later around 4 p.m., the boys came back to pick up the flags. Parents helped by driving their vehicles along side the scouts to carry the flags.

Camporee Fun

“It was lots of fun. The camp staff were very polite. The idea of having a mystery question was intriguing. The competitions were very challenging.” – Michael

Under the direction of Mr. Emerson, on April 22-24, 2016, Troop 4 Boy Scouts attended this year’s Camporee located at Camp Trask in Monrovia. The theme was “mystery” and scouts were divided into patrols.  Patrols had responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning-up, fire building, and getting water. The younger scouts competed and displayed their knowledge & experience in skills such as fire building, map and compass, and first aid.

Many Troops in the Rose Bowl district competed. The older T4 scouts helped score the competition at Troop 4’s fire building station.  When it was not competition time, the troop ate, played, and spent time bonding with one another. The day culminated with an awards presentation. The Scouts departed Sunday morning after church service at the chapel.

Led by our fearless leader, Mr. Grace, new Troop 4 backpackers hiked in 2-miles to Gould Mesa Campground to learn more about backpacking gear and lightweight techniques.

There, they were introduced to more than four different instructional stations including proper stove lighting, cozy-making, site selection, how to hang a bear bag and more. Our scouts also took time to help make a highlight video of their day.
