Organized by

Dragonauts Crew 333 is about Adventure with Dragon Boat Racing, Scuba Diving, Whitewater Kayaking, and Winter Activities: Dog Sledding, Snowshoe Orienteering and Ice Skating.

We come from different BSA troops and SoCal communities. But Planet Earth is a small world and our only world.

So conservation of our resources and Leaving No Trace is Dragonauts Crew 333’s guideline for all the adventure ideas we can look forward to sharing with each other.
