On this past sunny drill Saturday, Lewis & Clark Young Marines were able to get out and do what we do best, community service! We joined Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership and spent a few hours planting trees. Thank you for having our group, we look forward to joining in more tree planting events in the future.
Drill Day: Special Guests
Lewis & Clark Young Marines had a fun filled drill day with some very special guests, starting off with our Assistant Division 6 Commander Ms. Mallicoat at opening formation (more exciting news to be shared on that later this week!) Our former Unit Commander, Mr. Lewis, who has moved to the Grand Canyon Regiment Commander role, spoke to us about his very exciting and dangerous job with Border Patrol. We had a very exhilarating lesson on defense techniques from our former Adult Volunteer Mr. Buttrey. Our last guest was one of the Unit’s long time Adult Volunteers Mr. Kurtz who gave us guidance on how to properly prepare during mock oral board class. Thank you all for taking the time to come and see us today! Oorah!
Graduation: Welcome to your new platoons
After graduation on Saturday, our newly graduated Young Marines were welcomed into their new platoons, and we were able to get updated platoon photos!

Event: Seattle trip
Lewis & Clark Young Marines cruised up the I-5 to Seattle this past Saturday for our drill. We toured The Museum of Flight, checked out the Tukwila Family Fun Center & Bullwinkle’s Restaurant, and ended with Domino’s Pizza for dinner. It was a long day, but we had a blast!
