Friday Night Activities
The Imperial Valley Navy League is the host sponsor of this event. The Navy League is recommending that Scouts eat dinner before entering the base at this time as it has not been determined if the Pizzeria Cafe and the Desert Lanes Bowling will be available to Scouts and visitors at this time.
We will be camping on a large open grass area. It can be windy and cold. Be Prepared! Use the Troop car camping checklist to make sure you have everything you will need. No fires are permitted but we will still have a spirit conference.
(Protip: Jet engines are loud and make it difficult to sleep. Bring ear plugs.)
Saturday Activities
This is one of the most favorite campouts for many 355 Scouts. The morning starts early with the sound of jet engines preparing for the day. Scouts will eat breakfast with the Blue Angels and their flight crew on the flight line. Following this, the boys will view these same pilots perform amazing tactical air maneuvers.
The schedule for the day is as follows:
* 6:15 am Breakfast with the Blue Angels and flight crew
* 8:00 am Flight Training
* 11:30 am Pollo/Asada BBQ
* 1:00 pm Flight Training
* 2:30 pm Crowd line autograph signing
Dress Code
Scouts and adult Scout leaders are expected to wear Class A uniforms without sash. Casual attire is recommended for adult guests. Scouts are advised to bring a hat, sunglasses and a folding chair for the flight training air show. Be prepared for chilly weather in the morning and warm weather as the day goes on (layering).
