Trail Life Families,
We hope your boys had as much fun as we did at our Season Kick Off event on Tuesday! I wanted to send you all an updated Troop Calendar for this 2025/26 Season that you can print out and add to your family calendar. All of our Troop events have been updated on this new calendar, with one change you will need to adjust if you grabbed a calendar at our Tuesday meeting: Our Tapo Canyon Camping trip dates were incorrect and are moving forward one week to 19-21 September to give space to a city-wide “Serve Day” that NewHeart Church and many other churches are participating in this year. Serve Day is an opportunity to serve our city In Jesus' Name with hundreds of other Christians around our city (with 10 participating churches this year).
We will have signups for our Tapo Canyon camp at our next Troop meeting September 4th— if you are planning to attend, signup ASAP so we can secure the group site for our troop.
Download the calendar directly from the Trail Life Simi Valley website here: http://cdn.newheart.us/traillife/Troop-Calendar-2026.pdf
Our next few events to be aware of:
• This Saturday- August 23rd - Leadership Academy for All Navigators and Adventurers
• Tuesday September 2nd - Next Troop Meeting — and formation of our Integrated Patrols (be sure to Register your Trailman before this date so he can be placed in a Patrol)
• September 14th - Fishing and Kayaking Hit the Trail @ Sinaloa Lake
• September 16th - Regular Troop Meeting
• September 19-21 - Tapo Canyon Camping Trip
• September 27th - Simi Valley “Serve Day"
Looking forward to another productive and fun season… Walk Worthy!

Hi Brian,
My husband David and son, Isaac attended the rocket open house night and are considering joining, however, they are not able to attend all the events. Can someone do this and not work towards awards and such… just do it as a father/son time?
Hi Noel, I tried texting your husband directly, but am not sure if I have the correct number based on his sign in! Thanks for reaching out…we’d love to have David and Isaac join the troop and be with us to whatever events and meetings they can be part of, and though all of our boys work towards earning “Branch” awards in the woodlands program, the ultimate reward is the adventure and fun had between father/ son and others in the program.
