If you're in the neighborhood of National Harbor wander over by the Spirit Park Carousel and take a look at a new art installment of the Wildlife Wonder Boat by artists Gillie and Marc.
The monumental sculpture featuring Rabbitwoman, Dogman and a collection of endangered and exotic animals was designed to be interactive while promoting wildlife conservation. It is a captivating ensemble of 24 bronze animal figures and highlights species including an emperor penguin, rhino, chimp, kangaroo, mountain gorilla, Galapagos turtle, Bengal tiger, addax, brown bear, giraffe, hippo, arctic fox, zebra, amur leopard, lion, elephant, panda, orangutan, giant octopus, wombat, spider monkey, pangolin and cheetah creating environmental awareness and encouraging taking a stand against extinction. Rabbitwoman and Dogman symbolize hope, love and guardianship. Wildlife Wonder Boat Sailing into National Harbor in April
It will be on display for the next year so you have time to plan a short excursion, fingers-crossed gas isn't some new insane price then.
Be safe and have a great weekend. Stay hydrated!

I read about this yesterday! It's been a while since we've been to the harbor. Maybe it's time to go again,
Good morning.
Good morning.

You all will forgive me. I am personally devastated by the loss of one of my dearest Scouting friends yesterday.
Kevin Radford, AKA "Limey", succumbed to the Big C on Thursday. We had seen him at one of our Woodbadge Staff Development meetings earlier this year. I knew he was unwell, but he seemed OK and at least upbeat. (Old British Sailors are nothing if not tough.)
We were all stunned by the news yesterday that he took "a dramatic turn for the worse" and suddenly went to that big campfire in the sky.
For many of us, he WAS Woodbadge. There is a big hole in Scouting America's Northeast Region today.
