Cedar Badge
Patrol spirit soars at CedarBadge ILST
The 62 Scouts attending CedarBadge -- Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops earlier in October had so much fun learning about how to be a leader. Mt. Rubidoux District’s overnight course combined BSA’s ILST and the Patrol Leader Handbook. The course was held at the wonderful park behind the LDS Church on Blaine Street in Riverside. The course drew Scouts from throughout the council and from Orange and Los Angeles counties. Troops 2, 270, 6 from MR District and Troop 251 from Tahquitz provided training teams. The next course will be in May 2019.
