As early-bird troops arrive, available scouts are recruited to get in some Pioneering practice. Joseph Makowski (left) discovered an interest in knots and lashings, and went on to complete his Pioneering

Bob Tarn, finishing up on some lashings on the tower sides.

Once the basic four-sided tower frame is complete, it is hoisted into position. Here, the tower is actually shown being lowered on Sunday morning, using block and tackle set up by Tom Nishikubo.

Once the tower is up, the elevated platform, railings, ladder, and flag pole are added. Here, a scout hands up some materials to another working up on the elevated platform level.

On Saturday, a Vocations Meeting and Mass were conducted for the senior scouts and their families. Here the choir is set to begin.

And here a scout fearlessly races across the field to transfer an egg to his Saint Patrol members on the opposite side.
