Ft. Bowie is offering a "hike into history" tomorrow:

Fort Bowie is a National Historic Site. This is the first time in a while they're doing a program, but hopefully they'll continue to do so. They do have a Junior Ranger program and support the Webranger program. These are both fun programs for Cubs and Girl Scouts, so check them out if you get the time.

Day 3: More B&G

Finished printing the programs, and set up the voting sheets for the B&G centerpieces.

100 Days of Scouting

I've decided to participate in 100 Days of Scouting. Partly out of curiosity--do I really do scouting stuff every day? And partly to see if I can motivate myself to record more of the useful stuff.

So, yesterday I did our pack newsletter. Today I did the programs for the Blue and Gold banquet. Who knows what tomorrow brings?

Nature resources

The Sonoran Arthropod Studies Institute has a day of workshops, hikes, and a pot luck lunch the 4th Saturday of every month. Some great topics regarding insects and other invertebrates here in the desert are covered every time. Have some fun, more info at:

They also help out with the Weedwhackers the 3rd Saturday of every month, removing fountain grass and other species that threaten native plants. If you need an ecology- or conservation-related service project they are happy to hook you up!
