Is it Hot or is it Cedar Badge

Not even 102 degrees in Riverside on Saturday could cool the high spirits displayed at Cedar Badge - Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops. Twelve Scouts participated in the Original (COVID modified!) Cedar Badge that ran all day at the private park owned by the LDS Church on Blaine Street. With an emphasis on games and skills to make the learning sessions come alive, the Scouts had a good time despite the soaring temps. The staff was comprised of Scouters and youths from Mount Rubidoux District.
