Support for Scouters Impacted by the Wildfires
If you have been affected by the recent wildfires, we want you to know that Scouting is here to help. In response to the devastation, a support program was launched immediately after the fires to assist our community. Scouting units from across the country have come together to support you during this difficult time.
If you lost your uniform in the Eaton Fire or any other recent wildfire, uniform vouchers are available to help replace your gear. Submit your request through the "How can I get help from Scouting?" link, and we will make sure you have what you need to continue your Scouting journey as long as you were a registered Scouter and lost your home in the fire.
A heartfelt thank you to the Scouting units and individuals that have stepped up to offer support—your generosity truly embodies the spirit of Scouting. Together, we can help rebuild and recover with strength, hope, and community.
For more information on resources and how to apply for assistance, please visit the
Greater LA Scouting’s Wildfire Support page.

Monterey Park PD Explorers Triumph at Chandler Tactical Competition!
Another thrilling year of the Chandler Tactical Competition has come and gone, and the Monterey Park PD Post 300 Explorers emerged victorious! Competing against 43 other teams, they secured Top 3 finishes in four intense tactical scenarios: Tactical Relay, Traffic Stop, Welfare Check, and Sniper Challenge.
While the weekend was filled with excitement and competition, it was also a bittersweet farewell for Explorer Sergeant Ryan L., Explorer Corporal Anabelle M., and Explorer Steven B., who competed in their final event. We extend our deepest gratitude for their dedication, service, and outstanding representation of Monterey Park PD Post 300.
Congratulations to all the Explorers on their hard-earned success, and best wishes to our departing members as they embark on their next adventures!
