Boy Scouts of America
100 Year Birthday
The Boy Scouts of America was incorporated on February 8, 1910. It's present day headquarters is in Irving, Texas.
The original purpose of Scouting was to teach boys patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred values. Their current mission statement is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime by installing in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
The Sierra Mountain Times will not be published anymore. We will miss all the great writers, especially Greg Kristapovich. They hope when the economy recovers to be able to start publishing again.
The techs of Sierra Nevada Communications tell me they have seen an albino doe with its fawn three times up at Pine Mountain Lake, Groveland, Calif.
The Sonora Union Democrat doesn't recycle newspapers that are left in its stands. They are thrown in the garbage.
A BIG Happy Birthday to Barbara Connelly.
