Safety Saturday ☀️

It's a hot week ahead in San Diego! As temperatures rise, make sure you're prepared before heading outdoors. Bring plenty of water, wear a hat, use sunscreen, and take breaks in the shade throughout the day.

Heat-related illnesses can happen quickly, especially during hikes, campouts, sports, and other outdoor activities. A little preparation goes a long way toward keeping every adventure safe and enjoyable.

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay Scout-ready!

Pack adventures are reaching new heights! 🧗‍♂️

Scouts recently took on the climbing wall at Camp Bashor, challenging themselves, building confidence, and having a blast along the way. From first-time climbers to those racing to the top, every Scout showed courage, determination, and a willingness to try something new.

Outdoor adventures like these help Scouts develop skills, overcome challenges, and create memories that last a lifetime. 🏕️🧗‍

Safety Saturday Tip!

Don't let June Gloom fool you! ☁️🌊 Even when the skies are overcast, UV rays can still be strong, especially near the beach, bay, and waterfront. Many people end up with unexpected sunburns because cooler temperatures make it feel less intense than it really is.

Whether you're paddling, sailing, hiking, or spending the day at the shore, remember to wear sunscreen, stay hydrated, and reapply throughout the day. Safe adventures start with being prepared!
