A visit with Chuck Laird at the Adelanto Airport. A top notch tour, classes on aviation history, aeronautics, aerodynamic science and a ride above the Mojave Desert in a four-seat Cessna single-engine airplane.
Many thanks to Wayne Fowler for a most memorable visit with his collection reptiles. An educational visit where many species of snake were shown and some passed around.
The troop had a scout night out to visit the High Desert Mavericks at Stater Bros. Stadium in Adelanto on July 9th, with a Mavs win (9-8) over the Visalia Oaks.
August 7th is the Eagle Court of Honor for Ernie Marninez at 10 A.M. @ Our Lady of the Desert.
Scouts To Celebrate 100th Anniversary In Virginia
by The Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. July 25, 2010, 01:43 pm ET
The Boy Scouts of America are preparing to celebrate their 100th anniversary with a national jamboree in Virginia.
More than 46,000 Boy Scouts, leaders, staff and volunteers from around the world are expected at the 2010 National Scout Jamboree, which starts Monday. Organizers also expect around 250,000 visitors.
Scouts ages 12 to 18 will spend 10 days doing everything from archery and fishing to robotics and testing their own DNA.
The group has held the event at the Fort A.P. Hill Army base every four years since 1981. It skipped a year so the event could mark the organization's 100th anniversary. The Boy Scouts have hosted the gathering since 1937.
Organizers plan to move the event to a permanent site in West Virginia in 2013.
