Monday Memo
 | Joseph Daniszewski
Scout Executive |  |
Good day and welcome to our April 27th Monday Memo
1. Off to Camp Helendade!
With the winter snows subsiding, I'll be visiting our Camp Helendade for the first time. Camp Helendade, is located in the San Bernardino Mountain community of Running Springs. It is the only Scouting facility in Southern California devoted to Cub Scout overnight camping in the summer months. The fires of 2007 devastated the camp,destroying a newly-built Pool House and Health Lodge housing changing rooms, pool maintenance facilities, plus offices and classrooms and medical facilities for the camp. I'll report next week on our visit to Camp Helendade.
2. FOS Report
Congratulations to Tahquitz, Temescal & Mt. Rubidoux for being the top 3 this week. Tahquitz had a successful Friends of Scouting Breakfast last Friday, helping them to get further ahead.
