The Scouted Calendar / June 2016
The first day of summer, the longest day of the year, consistently beautiful weather…June has a lot of positive attributes even before you add in all of the wonderful events that will take place in our Scouted cities in the coming weeks. From food festivals to photography exhibitions, here are a few of our favorites:
