Community Fair moves to autumn
The annual Scripps Ranch Community Fair is being planned for Sept. 30 this year, according to Bryan Hoffman of the Community Fair Committee.

The fair, a Scripps Ranch Civic Association event, is one of the largest gatherings held each year in Scripps Ranch. Last year’s version was held on the campus of Alliant University in June.

The fair has something for everyone. The stage usually hosts an assortment of local dance troupes, martial arts groups and live music. Numerous booths provide a vast assortment of offerings and information. Large, colorful inflatables are open for children to climb and slide down. An array food and refreshments are usually available for purchase.

The 2018 Scripps Ranch Community Fair Committee is accepting volunteers, vendors and sponsors for this year’s event. An estimated 4,500 attendees flocked to the fair last year and the committee is expecting an even larger turnout this year.

Girls now allowed to join Boy Scouts 
Girls are now being accepted into the Boy Scouts. Scripps Ranch Pack 1216 leader Kathryn Crivello recently circulated a memo explaining that Scouting’s adjusted mission is to promote “physical and mental fitness” in “all youth” and provide fun and safe experiences for all children, including boys, girls and those with gender identity issues.

Boy Scouts of America has always been an organization that serves boys, but that changed as the organization voted to make “Scouts” a family-oriented organization. Especially at the Cub Scout level, many siblings who are girls come along on the campouts, hikes, den meetings and other activities, and the concept is that it would be easier on parents and leaders if the girls could participate as well, making Scouts a “family affair.” Part of the goal was to provide families with multiple children an opportunity for their boys and girls to be part of one troop, rather than shuffle kids around to Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts events.

Shelley Zimmerman

Parade grand marshal is retired police chief
The Rotary Club of Poway-Scripps has selected retired police chief Shelley Zimmerman as the grand marshal for the Poway Days Parade. In addition, the Rotary Club of Poway-Scripps’ choice for the parade theme echoes that of Rotary International: “Be the Inspiration.”

“We hope that this theme inspires people to see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change; across the globe, in our communities and in ourselves,” said Karen Herreros, the club’s president. “We believe our choice for grand marshal lives up to that mission and we are pleased to announce that newly-retired police chief Shelley Zimmerman will serve in that capacity.”

Zimmerman, a Scripps Ranch resident, was the first woman to serve as Sand Diego Police Department (SDPD) Chief of Police, and her 35 years with the SDPD set a service record for sworn female officers.

The parade will be held Sept. 8. Start time is scheduled for 9 a.m. and more than 100 entrants are expected. Visit powaydaysparade.org.

Girl Scouts catch waves at Camp Surf
Scripps Ranch Girl Scouts spent two days catching waves and bonding during a weekend adventure at YMCA Camp Surf on April 27-29.

What’s known as Camp Surf is Scripps Ranch Service Unit’s older girl encampment for 6th-12th graders, held at the YMCA’s Camp Surf facility in Imperial Beach. Unlike the service unit’s encampments for younger girls, there is no strict schedule of activities to stick to other than the set times for meals and campfire.

There was something for everyone: surfing lessons, body boarding, archery, a climbing tower, crafts, ball games, snack shop visits and just playing on the beach.
