Summer is not over yet! Still time for “S’More Summer Fun”! That’s right - the theme for August is “S’More Summer Fun”. Webelos activities are Forester & Naturalist.
Cub Scout Day Camp is August 4 – 8 at Camp Balboa.
We’ll be having plenty of summer fun with our family camping trip at Dos Picos. We’ll also be holding the Raingutter Regatta boat racing derby at camp. Get those boats ready for some fun racing!
Here are some tips on preparing your boat.

While you are grilling out at the campsite, the park, or your backyard, think about these little facts:
Americans eat seven billion hot dogs between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Strawberries, a favorite summer fruit, are related to the rose – each one has about 200 seeds.
Watermelons originally came from the Kalahari Desert region in Africa, even though a watermelon is 92% water.
The word barbecue comes from the Arawak word barbakoa, meaning "frame of sticks."
Thank the Chinese when you enjoy ice cream during the summer – it was invented there around 2000 BC
Summer squash is just a name for some varieties of squash that are harvested while still immature and tender and edible. Some are actually available year round.
What we call the first day of summer was actually right in the middle of it in the ancient calendar, where summer was the season that surrounded the longest day.
