Started the new "Year-Round School" year

So much for the lazy days of summer, eh, kids? Chula Vista schools have gone to Year Round. So, trying to keep with the program, Outpost 106 has promoted boys to the next age group. Boys in Ranger Kids who have completed 2nd grade have been moved up to Discovery Rangers, boys who finished 5th grade have moved to Adventure Rangers, and boys who have graduated 8th grade have promoted to Expedition Rangers. We had two boys--actually both are now adults--Gabriel and Mario who graduated form high school and are now ready to be Commanders.  Congratulations to you both.

Coming up, we are planning Council of Achievement for August 5th. This will be at our regular meeting time at the church. Boys will get their certificates for merits and advancements earned since the last COA. Parents are encouraged to attend to take pictures and to meet with your son's commander (you might want to contact your son's commander to make sure you boy is getting an award). Parents please considering bringing or sending a treat for your son to share in the reception after the COA, something like cup cakes or cookies or maybe sodas. The COA will also be when the District Commander will award Gabriel his Gold Medal of Achievement. So it's sure to be a grand event.

Also coming up, August 21st and 22nd,is the Adventure Rangers Surfing Overnight. On Friday night we will do a little training and boys will each build a folding camp table to take home (picture). Saturday morning we will head to the beach and teach boys how to surf! Click here to go to the Outpost 106 website where you can get the flyer and forms. This is a "limited space" event so pay the $30 fee as soon as you can to lock you place. Last day to pay is August 19th. Call me with any questions.
