Cub and Brownie leaders--Need some good outdoor programming? Don't forget about the Sonoran Desert Kids Club activities at Agua Caliente park. It's 9:30 AM to noon on the second Saturday of the month, which means the next one will be August 14, plenty of time to pre-register!
Also, the prickly pear harvest is coming up in August. Again at Agua Caliente they are having an activity. You can also do harvesting in your neighborhood, be sure to wear leather gloves. The dark purple native prickly pear fruit isn't quite as tasty as the lighter-colored version. You can remove the spines by burning or cutting them off (not for cubbies!) you can eat it or juice it. Prickly pear lemonade is especially popular.
This is a good opportunity to combine cooking lessons with native plant lessons!
