Recycled Raingutter Regatta POSTPONED due to wildfire smoke advisory!

Hello Pack 310 families,
Due to an air quality advisory from the wildfire in Santa Clarita, as well as the excessive heat, we are postponing the Recycled Raingutter Regatta to Saturday, August 6th from 10am-noon.

We apologize for the inconvenience and last-minute notice, but our first concern is keeping our scouts and their families safe and healthy. Children are advised to stay indoors to avoid breathing in the pollutants and ash from the fire. 

To read the current smoke advisory, here is the link: ftp://ftp.aqmd.gov/pub/globalist/Advisory.pdf
 
For more information on wildfire air quality and children, follow this link: http://www.aqmd.gov/docs/default-source/publications/fact-sheets/fire-safety-alert-for-children-english.pdf?sfvrsn=2

Please continue to collect your boat building materials and we will see you August 6th!

Join us for a low-stakes Recycled Raingutter Regatta! 
This is a FUN (no pressure, no brackets!) race with the focus on building a CREATIVE, cool, and sea-worthy boat out of recycled materials.
Please bring any materials you can, we will have extra supplies and duct tape.
Can your creation make it all the way down the raingutter?
Challenge your friend to a race!

After the race we will turn the rain gutters into a GIANT build-your-own-sundae bar!!!

Remember, if your scout attends 3 of our 4 Summer Pack Events (Rocket Derby, Animal Tracks tour, Picnic in the Park, and Raingutter Regatta) he will earn the Summertime Pack Award. 


Bring a clean milk jug cap and make a recycled monster neckerchief slide! See this link for more info.
