Community Day of Service

On Saturday, April 26, 2014, the community is coming together to beautify our community and we need your help!! Last year, over 2,300 volunteers came together to create a new park in Redlands. It was an incredible event! Hundreds of families, businesses, churches, schools, service clubs and other community organizations worked side-by-side to donate thousands of hours in making a positive difference in the area.

Citizens have the opportunity once again to work on multiple projects in and around the City of Redlands, and this year including the City of Highland. These projects are perfect for families of all ages. A free lunch will follow for all who paticipate. Come join us at one of the following locations:

• Israel Beal Park  (near Citrus Valley High School)
• Highland Community Park (7793 Central Ave, Highland, CA  92346) 
• Redlands Blvd Median (corner of Fern and Redlands Blvd. suggested parking at Redlands High School)
• Heritage Park (located next to the Asistencia off of Barton Road in between Nevada and Iowa Streets. Park at the Orange Avenue parking lot or at the Footlighters Parking Lot)

***I think this will help with #5 on the Second Class Rank Requirements (participate in an approved, minimum one hour, service project.  (~Misty's opinion, I will check with Eli and Todd)

Opportunity for Elective Merit Badges...

opportunity for more elective merit badges - UCR merit badge Fair

Registration opens today at 2pm for the UCR Merit Badge Fair put on by the UCR Chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.  

On  February 1, 2014  - 8a.m. to 5 p.m. - they are doing Electricity, Electronics, & Programming

On April 12, 2014 they are doing Energy, Engineering, and Robotics

As far as the requirements, the website says:

Each scout should download the Merit Badge workbook for each of the merit badges they are interested in.  It is strongly advised that the workbooks be filled out as completely as possible before coming to the UCR Merit Badge Fair.  Specific prerequisites need to be completed ahead of time.  

I sent an email to see if they could be more specific as to what requirements they will do at the fair.

Here is the link:  http://ieee.ee.ucr.edu/MBFair.html

Instead of our regular Scouts this next Tuesday night we will be participating in the 100 years of scouting in the church event (10/29). This forwarded message contains an attachment with the requirements for the Thomas Monson Award (as well as a flyer for the event), which will be presented to those who have completed the requirements prior to Tuesday. All of the scouts are welcome to come. Todd had the idea of doing this for Family Home Evening on Monday night.

There are two more upcoming events that should have been emailed to you with the details. If for some reason, you didn't receive the email, please let Eli know and he will make sure to forward the information.

Below are the events:
