I hate to keep bugging everyone but we still have at least 50 slots still open for our Fireworks Booth. We start selling on June 28th and sell through July 4th. This is an awesome fundraising opportunity for us, we did great last year, but we will need a ton of help in manning the booth again this year so we really need parents to sign up. I can't run the booth by myself. I'm good but not that good. Lol.
So, please sign up for as many shifts as you can, we especially need more people to sign up for the 3rd and 4th as they are our busiest days.. To sign up go to our Sign-up site at:

We really appreciate all your support so come hang out with us and have some fun while helping our Pack.
Van Damme State Park Camping Trip: July 13th-16th!
You are invited to go family style tent camping with our Pack. For our second campout of the summer, we have reserved campsites for the weekend of July 13th-16th in the Upper Loop of the Van Damme State Park.
Three miles south of Mendocino on Highway 1, Van Damme State Park offers a scenic beach, a lush fern-filled forest, and year-round camping. The highway runs through the park, separating the campground and the Fern Canyon trail head to the east from the beach and parking lot to the west. Visitors can fish for abalone or launch a kayak in a protected cove. They can explore a pygmy forest. They can hike, jog, or bicycle the splendid Fern Canyon Scenic Trail beside Little River. Of all the park system's units along the Mendocino coast, Van Damme is perhaps the richest in terms of historical resources connected with the redwood lumber industry.
Van Damme is a great place for hiking, biking, birding, jogging, kayaking, botanizing, abalone fishing, and watching salmon spawn. Its trails including a 0.25 mile-long wheelchair-accessible boardwalk to view stunted trees in a pygmy forest. The 1930s-era visitor center was once a recreation hall for the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Since the campground is about 4 hours away, we are camping for 3 nights. The cost will be $35 per person. This includes the fee for camping on the site, and food (seven meals). Possible activities will include hiking, fishing, swimming, and kayaking. The campground also has campfire programs and the Junior-Ranger program for kids.
Food: Friday night you are on your own, maybe grab something on the way up or go into
Fort Brag after setting up camp. We will have a campfire each night so plan on roasting marshmallows and making s'mores. Saturday and Sunday the pack will be making breakfast, lunch and dinner, nothing gourmet or fancy, well maybe a little fancy. Monday, breakfast will be provided.
We have reserved 8 campsites for a maximum of 60 people and spots are filling up faast, so sign up early to get your spot.
