Red, White and Cruise
Yesterday, Pack 588 represented Cub Scouts of Inland Empire and the Red, White and Cruise event at the California Speedway in Fontana.
All the boys that were present took part in the paade and did a great job of walking togther and waving at the huge crowd of people that were watching.
Once the parade was over the boys and their families manned the booth that we had been assigned - getting the word about Cub Scouts out there to everyone, and hopefully managed to encourage a few new recruits to Cub Scouts in the process.
The boys alson got to look around the huge event and had their faces painted, got to sit in fire trucks and SWAT trucks, as well as watch performances and look at some cool cars and motorcycles.
To end the day there was a fantastic firework display that was enjoyed by everyone.
It was a long, hot, and fun day and everyone really had a great time.
