The recent encampment at Murray Farm was more than just a fun adventure for our unit; it was an opportunity to learn about adapting and overcoming challenges. The weekend was packed with exciting activities like obstacle courses, team-building exercises, and a refreshing time at the creek. A surprise thunderstorm tested our resilience, with some tents flooding, but the experience only strengthened our resolve. The eventful weekend concluded with a significant change of command and a heartfelt retirement ceremony, marking the end of summer break on a high note. Special thanks to Murray Farm for hosting us and to Mrs. Murray for her fantastic, hearty meals that kept everyone energized and happy.

Our Unit Has Moved To Our New Location!
Lewis & Clark Young Marines has moved their offices and drill location to 11605 SE McGillivray Blvd, Vancouver, WA 98683 the home of the Vancouver Elks BPOE 823. The Elks were generous and gracious in offering our large unit a place to call home when our former location was sold and the new owners were planning a massive renovation. We would like to thank Safe Harbor Church for their many years of hospitality.
Starting Nov 2, 2017 all unit activities will be conducted at this new location. It will be business as usual, but we ask for your patience as we unpack and get organized.
