While the weather in Southern California is finally lowering the fire risk, it is causing some mud and debris slides in the burn areas. Let's hope some day soon these folks will catch a break from Mother Nature. As a reminder, there is a great need for aid for the victims of the wild fires that have decimated Alta Dena and the Palisades. Please consider helping and share this info with those in your circles.

Here are two sites to consider. First think of Adopt a Scout to help a Scout get back to Scouting. https://form.jotform.com/250097290936160
