The decades-long annual Scout-O-Rama gave participants of all ages the chance to try their hand at rope climbing, launching water rockets, blacksmithing and more. Held at History Park in San Jose, the event was hosted by scout groups from Santa Clara, San Benito, Santa Cruz and Monterey counties.
For only $10 per family, people from the community enjoyed archery, shooting water rockets, tomahawk throwing, exploring firetrucks, racing pinewood derby cars, slacklining, crafts, life size mazes and more. Several food trucks were onsite to provide a variety of cuisines or enjoy your own picnic lunch while live music played from the San Jose local Ukulele Jams.
