For this event we’ll watch the movie Down and Derby, a fun family film about the Pinewood Derby. I’ve seen this movie and it’s a lot of fun for both kids and adults!  We’ll also have some goodies to munch on and some other Scout related fun.

Although our Scout program tends to wind down during summer vacation, we do have a few events planned for summer in addition to the Cub Scout camps for current Scouts. We are planning a Movie Night in July and a BBQ Picnic in late August.

Check this site for updates to our summer programs.

Rodeo Lagoon

I visited Rodeo Lagoon this weekend and found the Richmond bridge route easy to follow. This is the route I suggest coming into Sausalito Marin County.

We will eventually meet at the visitor center which is a converted church. The Visitor center is a perfect start to our hike as it is rich in educational info regarding the history of the area. There is also a picnic area in the front.

Up the road is the Nike Missile site. Unfortunately it is only open to the public the 1st sat of the month. I just happened to be there so I got a tour.

Don’t despair!! There is plenty to see. There are other open bunkers to see. Our scouts will love it. These bunkers are just a very short drive from the visitor center. The area is a favorite with cyclist so be mindful of them.

This is a beautiful area. The ocean, mountains, spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge, natural history and the former military history make for a beautiful day. Be sure to bring you’re camera. Plan for lunch after the hike in the picnic area in front of the visitor center.

Update with Photos from the Event

Please arrive early so that the scouts (and siblings) can make paper airplanes. We are going to have a game later on that will test their flying skills.

• The Tiger Cub Den will be have some kind of presentation with a joke or two thrown in.
• The Wolf Den will be bringing cookies (or other goodies).
• The Bear Den will be handling ticket sales.
• And the Webelos will be doing the Flag Ceremony.

We will have a representative from the BSA Council coming by to talk about the Friends of Scouting program. This program raises money for a lot of other programs in our council and district (camps upkeep and improvements, Camperships, insurance, building and council support, etc.).

See you all on Tuesday, March 30th!
