Numerous High Desert Boy Scouts spent last Friday night hearing coyotes and sleeping under the Lucerne Valley stars.
The High Desert District Scouts spent the night at the Lucerne Valley Lions Club’s 80-acre property nestled against boulder hillsides.
“We’re doing this to celebrate 100 years of scouting with the LDS church,” said Scoutmaster Luke Keserich.
“The Lions were there big time to help us here. They’ve really helped us in this endeavor,” he added.
The Scouts worked on shotgun, rifle, ham and shortwave radio and other merit badges.
Lucerne Valley Lions board member Mel Booher said the campout was the first in awhile, but the Lions are glad to help area youth and others.
“We support the local schools, the Guide Dogs of the Desert, City of Hope and Loma Linda University Hospital,” Booher said. “We do whatever we can.”
