Went for a nature hike today at Eaton Canyon with 3 scouts, 2 who needed to pass plants requirement for 1st Class. It was a great day. Learned about a plant which helps with sore throats, laurel sumac whose berries were used as an aide for digestion, another plant which helped with bladder problems. Cowboy Sage which was used by local cowboys as a cologne before they rode into town. It was like going to local pharmacy.
Wish more of the Bat Patrol could have come for the hike to learn about our local native plants in Southern California.
It was a great way to start off the day. A beautiful hike in Eaton Canyon.
