Polar Bear Plunge (December 2019)

Steve Heeb — Tue, 31 Dec 2019 12:47:23 +0000

Yes, it was that Polar Bear Plunge time of the year again! The Scouts in Troop 598 successfully washed 2019 out of their system with a double dip in the Puget Sound this morning. After successfully completing first frosty foray into the water, once everyone was ashore we did an about-face and backed up our daring/idiotic feat.

Why? you ask… ANYONE can accidentally run out into the freezing water once, but it takes a SPECIAL kind of crazy to do it twice!!!

Polar Bear Plunge (December 2018)

Steve Heeb — Tue, 01 Jan 2019 00:47:49 +0000

More dads than Scouts were on hand to take the plunge this morning at Point Defiance/Owen Beach. The temperature was a balmy 31 degrees when the small group made their way to the water’s edge … and then beyond. Kudos to Ben and Justin (and Ryan of course) for being bold enough to splash in the new year.

And as always it takes a special kind of crazy to dry off and then run into the Puget Sound the second time. Awesome!!!

Scout Troop 598 had a few brave souls take the plunge this morning at Point Defiance/Owen Beach — but it takes a special kind of crazy to dry off and then run into the Puget Sound the second time. Awesome!!!

Polar Bear Plunge (December 2016)

Mitchell and Simon were the lone scouts from Troop 598 brave enough to dash into the Puget Sound not once, but twice, during our Polar Bear Plunge at Point Defiance/Owen Beach. Temperature in the air was a crisp 32 degrees — a chillin’ way to wrap up 2016!
