Ingalls Shipbuilding Hosts Second Annual Scouts Merit Badge Day
'We are grateful to host this event again at Ingalls and to see so many returning and new Scouts this year,' Ingalls Shipbuilding Community Relations Manager Lisa Bradley said. 'Scouting builds character, leadership, and technical skills that align closely with what we value in our Ingalls workforce and it's an honor to be able to inspire and support these young Scouts as they explore potential careers and develop essential life skills.'
This year, Scouts selected from nine different merit badge courses — communications, electricity, electronics, engineering, fire safety, first aid, painting, personal management, and plumbing — earning two merit badges by the end of the day. The event was led by Ingalls Shipbuilding employees, many of whom are former Scouts or active Scout leaders, who guided participants through activities in their chosen areas of interest.

'Both Scouting and shipbuilding emphasize dedication, teamwork, and skill-building, and it is inspiring to see young people investing in their future.'

Cruz to discuss your legal rights by email at info@ by telephone at (310) 914-5007, or visit our website at What Happened? On May 19, 2025, Sable announced that it had resumed oil production from one of three offshore platforms related for its Las Flores pipelines ('Onshore Pipeline') in California. Then, on May 23, 2025, the California State Land Commission sent Sable a letter regarding its May 19th announcement, warning that it 'appears to mischaracterize the nature of recent activities, causing significant public confusion and raising questions regarding Sable's intentions,' and that Sable had conflated offshore well testing activities required by a federal regulatory agency with the restart of operations. Then, on May 28, 2025, the Santa Barbara County Superior Court approved a preliminary injunction from the California Coastal Commission regarding Sable's maintenance and repair work in the coastal zone related to the Onshore Pipeline. On this news, Sable's stock price fell $5.04, or 15.3%, to close at $27.89 per share on May 28, 2025, thereby injuring investors. Then, on June 4, 2025, Sable disclosed that a Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge had granted 'temporary restraining orders prohibiting [Sable] from restarting transportation of oil through the Las Flores Pipeline System.' On this news, Sable's stock price fell $0.94, or 3.9%, to close at $23.10 per share on June 4, 2025, thereby injuring investors further. What Is The Lawsuit About? The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Defendants represented that Sable Offshore Corp. had restarted oil production off the coast of California when it had not; and (2) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
