Ranger Camp

[k9gold-scout]

Our Crew was looking for a local summer camp with a high adventure program where the scouts could finish some core requirement and a few electives. We found nothing in Southern CA but we did find Camp Loll in WY. They offered 3 core + a choice of 3 optional requirements.

 

Most of our scouts will be Eagle by the end of the year and they are looking towards Ranger.

Have you tried the Catalina summer camp...

 

I cant remember the exact name off-hand.. I'll see if I can find it. We sent a handful of older Scouts last year. They had a blast and got a lot accomplished.

Yes we were at Emerald Bay last summer and we did have a few scouts take Scuba - good program.

We are looking the circle Catalina war canoe trip; 3 days but no real Venture program.

Thanks for the other info we will look at it for next year!

Glad to know the info helped.

 

I did a bit more checking into our Mt. Baker program. Its fairly new but has a lot of challenges for the Venture scouts.

 

Make sure to give the office a call and they'll help you out with some info.
