Happy Father's Day to all the dads, grandfathers, stepdads, mentors, and father figures who help make Scouting possible.

Thank you for the campouts, early mornings, words of encouragement, rides to meetings, and countless hours spent supporting Scouts on their journey. Your guidance, patience, and example help shape the next generation of leaders.

Today, we celebrate you and all that you do. Happy Father's Day! ⚜️💙

Safety Saturday Tip!

Heading to the beach for Father's Day weekend or the first day of summer? Keep an eye out for stingrays!

Southern California beaches often see increased stingray activity during warmer months, especially in shallow water near the shoreline. To help avoid a sting, remember to do the "stingray shuffle" by sliding your feet through the sand instead of taking large steps.

If you're planning a beach day, stay aware of posted warnings, wear water shoes when possible, and know where the nearest lifeguard station is located.

Have fun, stay safe, and enjoy the official start of summer!

Today we honor Juneteenth, a day of reflection, remembrance, and celebration of freedom.

As Scouts, we are committed to building communities rooted in respect, service, and understanding. We recognize the significance of this day and the continued pursuit of a brighter future for all.
