UPDATE to Service Project

Parents & Cub Scouts,

Thank you in advance to those participating in the Service Project this Week:

Wednesday 9/26, 1:30pm to approx. 3:30pm (come when you can).

We will be at the MOUNTAIN OAK CAMPGROUND working on water drains. Similar to last time, but these drains already have most of the rocks we need, so this time we'll be removing the rocks, cleaning out any leaves and excess dirt from the drains, hosing off the rocks and putting them back in. There are far fewer drains at this campground so we won't be there too long.

Bring: Please bring water, a hat & sunscreen, and a rake, gloves, and trowel (if you have them).

Directions: Heading West on Hwy 2 through Wrightwood, when you get to Mountain High West (near the stone castle) turn Right onto the Big Pines Hwy (like you're going to Jackson Lake). When you get to Jackson Lake , TURN RIGHT into MOUNTAIN OAK CAMPGROUND (don't go onto the Jackson Lake road). Mountain Oak Campground is directly opposite the entrance to the lake on the North side of the road. While there, please don't park in the road or on the dirt; please park in any available campsite driveway.

Service Project

We are planning a Service Project at Table Mountain for September 26th (Wednesday Minimum Day) after school beginning whenever you can get there (1:30 or 2:00?), and we need to give the Camp Manager an idea of how many people we'll have coming.

Please email themckains@mckainsmail.com by this Friday 9/21, if you plan to attend. We can use all the help we can get, and the job will go really fast if we get a lot of participation.

Our last service project went really well, and they had us cleaning out the areas under the water spigots at each camp site, collecting rocks, pulling weeds, raking, etc. We expect a similar project this year, but it just depends on what they need.

We will be organizing 2 Service Projects this year. One now, and one sometime in the Spring. The plan is to do the work so we can get our campsites and overflow parking free (normally $250-$300) when we have our Bridging Ceremony and Campout next spring.
