Scout Day coming next week to Pebble Creek

INKOM — Scout Ski Day is scheduled for Martin Luther King Day on Jan. 16 at Pebble Creek Ski Area.

This program assists Boy Scouts in obtaining their Snow Sports Merit Badge.

First-time beginner lessons are offered for scouts who have never skied or snowboarded before.

Scouts that already have their merit badge can just have fun on the slopes. This allows troops with scouts of varying abilities to participate together.

In order to complete the merit badge program, scouts should be able to make linked turns and ski or board groomed runs. All requirements for the merit badge will be covered during this one-day program.

Scouts should register downstairs in the lodge by 9:30 a.m. with the merit badge clinic, with first-time beginner lessons starting at 10 a.m. The program fee is $25 for the lift ticket and the merit badge clinic or first-time lesson.

Rental skis for this program are available for only $12 and snowboards for just $15. Helmet rental is $3.

For more information, call Pebble Creek at 208-775-4452.
