What’s the best thing about summertime?

 

    What’s the best thing about summertime? 

Well, as some of our scouts would like to suggest, no school! But aside from not studying and doing homework, summer is the perfect time dust off backpacks and restock essentials and get outdoors!  Whether you are hiking, taking a bike ride up the pacific coast or camping with your unit or family members, summer is the best time to explore the great outdoors.

 


Our camps have been busy over the past few weeks with our scouts.

Camp Cherry Valley has been nothing but fun in the sun on the beautiful beach front on Catalina Island. From water sports like snorkeling, canoeing, sailing, and swimming. And there’s plenty of trails to hike over the mountain terrains.

                   


 

Hubert Eaton Scout Reservation had a busy summer over at their Camp Big Horn at Circle X Ranch too! Their program included everything from shooting sports, swimming, crafting, horseback riding and climbing walls and not to forget their new 1,100-foot Zip Line!

                    


 

Troop 115 scouts along with their dads, completed a service project over the summer by refurbishing the playground equipment at St Hilary’s in Pico Rivera. Outstanding job scouts and of course to the dads that helped! Here they are in action, seen below!

                       

 


                      

No matter where you are at during the summer break, I hope everyone had a chance to cut loose and have some fun outdoors.

Also, I’d like to take a moment and give a big thanks to Tom Garcia for putting together another great District Summer BBQ. Everyone had a great time, and the food was delicious as always! If you missed out on it this year, we hope that you can make it out next year.
