Every Scout should get the chance to enjoy all the programs offered at Legendary Camp Emerson like our; mountain bike trail, swimming pool, canoeing, archery range, and our brand new climbing tower!

Camp Emerson is located in Idyllwild, California approximately a 1 hour drive from Riverside, Corona, San Bernardino, Redlands, and the Temecula areas. all this adventure is located in practically your backyard!

Exploring Post 372

 

 
 

In a community of 200,  in Daggett California, Explorer Post 372 was formed with 5 teen Explores in November 2017. We are sponsored through Daggett Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department.  We are under Boy Scouts of America and Learning for Life, we explore careers in fire, rescue,  and emergency medical services.  The post also plays a role in volunteering at community events “Hitting for Hope” Thanksgiving Dinner; Sheriff’s Toys for Tots; Community Annual Easter Egg Hunt; just to name a few.  We will also be helping our local Historical Society  refurbish buildings.  Recently we went to Cal-Fire Dispatch to see where our calls begin. the Explorers also received information on how entering the Fire Fighting and Emergency services career.  After school and on weekends explorers train, do ride- a-longs and participate in aspects of service calls with our fire station family, while also learning leadership skills. Our Explorers are held to high standards, keeping their grades over 2.0, staying mentally and physically fit, and showing respect even out of the station. We are proud and compassionate in what we do. Our motto: “Do our best to proudly serve self, family, and community”.   If a little community can have an Explorer post so can you look for one, or ask your community to start one.  Watch out world we are your next generations here to serve you!

Dear California Inland Empire Council Scout Leader:
 
My name is Crystal Pastorian, and I am the 2018 Fall Wood Badge Course Director for the California Inland Empire Council. 
 
This Wood Badge course is scheduled for August 24th-26th, and September 7th-9th, at beautiful Camp Emerson.

I look forward to seeing you on course!
 
Yours in Scouting,

Scout Law Game

 

 

 

 

Learning the Scout Law will be more enjoyable with a Scout Law game.  This game helps Scouts learn all twelve points of the law in order. The idea is to have each point of the Scout Law written on a separate craft stick. Mix up the craft sticks and throw them on the table. Scouts then need to put them in order. It is a puzzle of sorts.For a fun variation, make several sets and mix them together . Have teams race against each other to see who can get all twelve points of the Scout Law in the correct order first.

For a more challenging variation, throw in some words which are not part of the Scout Law – happy, grateful, punctual, organized, etc.

Scout Law Game

Materials 

  • 12 craft sticks per set
  • sharpie

Instructions

  1. Write one point of the Scout Law on each stick. (trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, reverent)
  2. Mix up the sticks and throw them on a table.
  3. Have the Scouts put the set together in the correct order.
