Forrest Yeh and Jim Yeh have let us know about a cool event that they will be attending in San Mateo on Saturday and Sunday May 3 & 4. It is called Maker Faire and Forrest and Jim will be there competing with their combat robots. The Faire is a gathering of people who like to build, hack, make and play with materials and common objects. Their website is at www.makerfaire.com and you can contact Forrest or Jim for more info. Sounds great!

There are discounted ticket prices for Scouts and their families, a pre-game parade around the field for uniformed scouts and leaders and a commemorative patch for uniformed scouts. All ticket orders must be mailed or faxed by THIS FRIDAY, April 25th.

Staff for Cub Scout Day Camp - June 23-27
Finally, we’re still looking for more
staff members for the Cub Scout Day Camp on June 23-27! Like last
year, Jason Z (the Epic One) will be the camp’s Program Director and
it’s tons of fun with all the activities,
sports and water games. Plus, it’s a great way to get service
hours
(about 35) toward advancement! Or, if the Scout prefers, he can
instead receive
an honorarium for his work ($65-$100). Complete the attached form
and
return it to the Scout Office today!Cub Scout Day Camp Application
