This year was the 100th year of Makahiki. Called “Ho’okahi Haneli Makahiki,” the event was held at Ala Moana Park this year.

Troop 1 participated in the parade where the troops march with their flags around the park and end up at the center stage where the opening ceremony was being held.
There were many Cub Scout Packs and Boy Scout Troops there to enjoy all the activities. The activities were the rope bridge crossing, zip line, Troop 1′s balance beam jousting, and many more. The military attended this occasion by bringing their heavy equipment, large guns, robots, K9 unit, and even had a demonstration in their scuba training tank.
This was the first year that the Makahiki had Troop competitions, from pancake cooking and flippng, knot tying/sled pulling, and an obstacle course. Scoutmaster Pang was such a good sport. In order to complete the pancake flipping contest, the Scoutmaster must eat the entire pancake after it is flipped. Troop 1′s pancake landed on the ground but Scoutmaster Pang ate it, grass and all.
This year’s Makahiki was truly the most fun and entertaining. We can’t wait until next year’s!
