Camp Emerald Bay Cub Family Weekend 27-29 March 2015 #cubscouting

I thought I'd share some pictures from my recent adventure to camp Emerald Bay on Catalina Island. My son, Joe, is a Bear cub scout and I'm his den leader.  The opportunity to go to Emerald Bay presented itself and I just had to sign us up.   We left out of Long Beach on Friday, 27 MAR at about 0615 pm.  We were the only ones from our pack with is out of Valencia, CA.  Almost immediately a great den out of Pack 377, Palm Springs adopted us and Joe had other boys to share the experience with.

I just want to thank Irena, Susie, and Cara for adopting me, too.  It was just great to hang out with other den leaders and moms who truly enjoy the scouting experience!

On Saturday, after breakfast (and the chow hall was great!) we  picked our own activities and set out:

Petting sharks at the Marine Museum

Hiking up to Parson's Beach. It took 1 hour there and 1 hour back

Joe shooting BB Guns.  He really enjoyed it. 

I shot Archery and really loved it. Bullseye!

Leaving. sniff..sniff... miss it already!
