HONOLULU (NNS) -- Hawaii-based Sailors and service members volunteered their time and set up displays and demonstrations for Hawaii Boy Scouts at the annual Boy Scout Makahiki at Ala Moana Beach Park, May 14.
Volunteers from the Navy, Army and Air Force set up displays during the Makahiki to educate and give the scouts and attendees an opportunity to receive a hands-on experience with a variety of the island's military capabilities.
"A lot of scouts join public service whether it's the fire department, police force or the military," said Chief Navy Diver Gregory Howe, attached to Mobile Underwater Diving Salvage Unit (MUDSU) 1, and a volunteer at the Humvee station. "It's great for us to come out here and show them where the knowledge of the training they're currently receiving can take them."
The event allowed the Navy to show the community a little bit of what military life is like, said Navy Diver 2nd Class Paul Pendleton, attached to MUDSU 1, a volunteer at the Navy diving station.
Throughout the park, Boy Scouts and other participants tried on a Navy diving helmet and viewed weapons and equipment from the participating services.
"I enjoy what I do in the Navy and being able to come out here and share that with boy scouts here is very rewarding, " said Pendleton.
Makahiki started 105 years ago with the Scouts of Aloha Council, and is the oldest Scout show in the nation.
