Hollywood : Scouts to Attend Camp

Hollywood youngsters from low-income families will have a chance to attend Scout camp for a week this summer as part of a program sponsored by the Hollywood Sentinels Neighborhood Watch organization.

The Sentinels, a crime watch group since 1988, sponsor a local Boy Scout and Girl Scout troop to provide area children with activities designed to keep them out of trouble and away from gangs. Both troops feature weekly meetings and monthly outings for all Scouts, who come from the DeLongpre Park area.

This summer, the Sentinels have planned two outings for the Scouts. The Boy Scouts will participate in a one-week session at the Los Angeles Council Boy Scouts’ Lake Arrowhead camps.

Also, the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts will participate in a one-week excursion to the Los Angeles Area Council’s Cabrillo Beach Youth Waterfront Sports Center.

To help offset the cost of sending children from low-income families, the Sentinels are having a rummage sale Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at DeLongpre Park. From 1 to 2 p.m., the Los Angeles Jazz Society will present its Jazz Caravan Concert Series.

For more information, call Fares Wehbe at (213) 465-6503 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.
