Brand new! Our very own Puvunga Lodge has published its first "Where to Go Camping" Guide. We hope you enjoy this resource. Maybe you'll find a new place to go for a weekend. Congratulations to our Chief Collin Hadley and his fellow Arrowmen!

Saturday, October 17 - Tune in to the largest Scouting event in the world. In 2014, over 1.3 million Scouts participated in JOTA/JOTI across 157 countries. A really cool chance to communicate with Scouts worldwide using radio and Internet connections.

Saturday, November 14 - Every year, Scouts collect over 30,000 pounds of food for our local community. Bags are now available at the Scout Service Center - free of course. Unit coordinators, please touch base and confirm your collection area with Rebekah Havard.

Camp Tahquitz Boy Scout Camp is accepting reservations for Summer 2016. Hold your spot by signing up and depositing $200. Summer will be here before you know it! Keep the "outing" in Scouting and sign up your troop today!
