I just found out today that one of our main scout store will be closing. And that there will only be two locations available, one in Pasadena and one in Ontario. Each one about 30 mins to 20 miles each way from the original location. I happen to live in San Dimas which is about the middle of the two locations. I would be very interested in opening a scout store. I'm actually going to start talking to our council to see how I go about doing this.
