Find out about outdoor recreational and conservation project opportunities in 2011 from East Bay Regional Park District and Save Mount Diablo representatives. Activities for kids will include climbing on our indoor wall and zany contests like mini geo-caching, tent building and sleeping bag stuffing.
We'll have lots of prizes and a raffle for some great gear any Scout would love to own. Younger Scouts will enjoy meeting Chipper and learning Leave No Trace principles in a fun, interactive way.
