The Arroyo Tapiado (translation: mud wall wash) is an area of the Anza-Borrego Desert which is home to the world’s largest collection of mud-caves. These caves are over five million years old, and have been formed by erosion. Over the years, when it has rained, the water has cut into the hills, forming the various channels and caves that you can explore.

Dear Scouting Families,

The 2020 Adventure Card sale starts up in March. Adventure Cards is a fundraiser for Scouts to sell $10 coupon cards to raise money for their Scouting adventures. A Scout can earn up to $5 per card sold (that’s up to 50% commission). Any unsold cards can be returned at the end of the sale. The Adventure Card is also admission to the Centennial Scout-O-Rama, the biggest Scouting event in Southern California.

The Adventure Card has over $150 worth of savings with coupons for Smart & Final, Subway, Big 5, Six Flags and more! Scouts can sell outside stores, door to door, and sell to friends and family. There are fun prizes available for Scouts that sell, but the best part is the 50% commission. Scouts can use their commission to fund their Scouting adventures (Scout Camp, Day Camp, Jamboree, etc.).
