An Eventful Day

This Saturday, September 25th, is the 17th National Public Lands Day.  It is also the 26th California Coastal Cleanup Day!  Traditionally, volunteers and conservationists get together on this day to improve the outdoors across the country.  Our Pack has no servicing event scheduled on this day, but it doesn't mean you cannot go out and show some Scouting spirit!  Look up the two websites and sign up to volunteer in an event.  Besides making a difference in the environment, your contribution will also satisfy one of the requirements for the Cub Scout World Conservation Award and Year of Celebration Award.

Not ready for such heavy duty work?  How about taking a leisure hike (hiking belt loop, Year of Celebration Award) at one of the nearby national parks and historic sites?  On Saturday, National Park Service will be offering free admission to all national park lands.  It is a great time to go on a hike, practice leave no trace (Leave No Trace Award), and earn the Scout Ranger patch!

Having one of the rare weekends that you would rather be indoor instead?  You are in luck!  Smithsonian Museum Day also falls on the same day.  A printable ticket entitles you and a guest free admission to one participating museum (Collecting belt loop).  There are many museums to choose from, but if you are working on this Museum Tour patch, you may want to consider visiting Hiller Aviation Museum, which is one of the required museums, and check out the Scouting in Aviation display.

With so much going on this Saturday, where should I start?
