Mariner “Cat-in-the-Hat” Weekend

The Mariner Girl Scouts held a “Cat-in-the-Hat” weekend in October. There was plenty of sailing fun, movies, and a themed dinner where Thing 1 and Thing 2 carried Cat-in-the-Hat into the room. Mariner weekends are for Mariner Girl Scouts to come down to camp to have fun and hang-out with sailing friends from all over San Jacinto Council. If you became a Mariner at summer camp – come join the year-round sailing program! Check The Golden Link for upcoming Mariner events and come join in on the fun!
