Scouts,
Now is your chance to help out our Charter Organization. They have asked us
for some help to repair a water guzzler.
A guzzler is a huge tank of water that is installed in the wilderness to provide
wildlife with water during the dry summer months. It has a concrete basin, and a
metal roof. The roof is pitched so that it collects rain water and deposits it into the
basin. The guzzler is positioned very low to the ground.
The metal roofs on 3 guzzlers need to be repainted.
We will meet on Saturday, June 15th at the McDonald parking Lot in Castaic at
8:00 a.m. We will caravan to the site.
If you are able to help, please contact Luann Peterson at luannpeterson@yahoo.com.
