Fort Worden

The weather was perfect for our trip to Fort Worden this year. We spent our weekend running around the beach, playing baseball, shooting water rockets, and of course doing our skit in front of the other Y-Guides.

Screaming Wolves Fort Worden 2007

February 12th at Youth Theatre Northwest.

Let’s face it, our last “skit” at Fort Worden was not the award-winning performance we know the Screaming Wolves can do. The Spring Y-Guides campout is still a few months away, giving us plenty of time to prepare. So our February get-together was at the Youth Theatre Northwest (at 88th and 40th). One of the educators there led our boys into making a skit for the next Camp Orkila (or wherever it gets held this year).

Judge the results for yourself. The first part of this clip shows how they performed at Ft. Worden. The second part is the new play they created after tonight's instruction:

Y-Guides web site

Here's the new Y site http://yguides.wikispaces.com/ that has lots of interesting info about the Y-Guides program.

Who's going to Orkila?

Who’s going to Orkila? October 13-15. Nate and Spencer probably can't make it this time, how about you? Sign-ups are due by Sept. 25. Is someone who’s going willing to volunteer to be our point person? It’s really easy, just make sure everyone is signed up and paid.

September Meeting

Monday, Sept. 11 at the MercerWood Shore Club. (E. Mercer Way & Shore Club Drive)

Hosted by the Luce Family. We’ll be roasting Smores. Bring the family; it’s our beginning of the year kick-off meeting.

I’ll have the fire going down at the beach around 6:30 pm and will supply all of the necessary Smore fixins. If you can think of something else you’d like to roast on the fire, bring it! Please respond back and let me know if you’re coming and how many.

June 4	Davis & St. Mary (Family Picnic)

Date: Labor Day, Sept. 4
Time: 5pm until we run out of water or energy
Location: Dragon Park (Deanes Children’s Park), adjacent to Island ParkElementary
What to bring: We brought a cooler which we filled half way and thentransported in the glass recycling bin to catch spillage. That seemed towork. We brought about three gallons of water more in jugs and dumped themin the cooler when we arrived. That was enough for 4 of us for about 1.5hours.

You’ll want a towel too. Bring all the squirt guns you’ve got.

It’s tough to figure out in advance(at least it was for us) which ones were going to work at all and work best. And there seems to be plenty of demand for swapping/lending them around.

Rules: No squirting anywhere near other park users. Probably kids vs. dads will work best. Dads get the lousier guns. Time out for refilling orinjury must be respected. That was the end of the list for us.
