Police Station Tour



The Cub Scouts of Pack 777 will be visiting the Topanga Police Department in Canoga Park for a tour on Tuesday night as our scheduled Pack meeting.

The Cub Scouts and their leaders will drop in to learn about the police and what they do. The scouts will learn the inner workings of how L.A.P.D.'s emergency operations are handled.

They also learned about the booking process and see the inside of the jail cells. Rounding out the evening will be demonstrations of the equipment on and inside a patrol car. 

This event will satisfy adventure requirements for all levels

Time: 6:15pm (be prompt) 
Dress: Full class A uniform required for this event.
Location: 21501 Schoenborn Street, Canoga Park CA 91304

We will assemble by the front entrance before being escorted in. Arrive a little early if possible.

Enter The Boy's Life 2017 Say Yes To Reading Contest!

Write a one-page report titled “The Best Book I Read This Year” and enter it in the Boys’ Life 2017 “Say Yes to Reading!” contest.

The book can be fiction or nonfiction. But the report has to be in your own words — 500 words tops. Enter in one of these three age categories:
  • 8 years old and younger
  • 9 and 10 years old
  • 11 years old and older


First-place winners in each age category will receive a $100 gift card from Amazon.com. Second-place winners will receive a $75 gift card; third-place winners, a $50 gift card.

Everyone who enters will get a free patch like the one on this page. (And, yes, the patch is a temporary insignia, so it can be worn on the Boy Scout uniform shirt, on the right pocket. Proudly display it there or anywhere!) In coming years, you’ll have the opportunity to earn different patches.

The contest is open to all Boys’ Life readers. Be sure to include your name, address, age and grade in school on the entry.

Send your report, along with a business-size, self-addressed, stamped envelope, to:
