It’s not too late to sign up for a great weekend of family fun, scouting skills, camping, campfires, rock climbing, hiking, stargazing and memories in the making. We have reserved group campsites for Veteran’s Day weekend. Scouts will set up tents and patrol cooking for Saturday dinner and Sunday breakfast. Family equipment and meals are handled on their own separate from the scouts. Saturday Night dessert will be prepared by the scouts for all in camp. "Class A" uniform is not required, however, scouts should wear their troop t-shirts (Class B) and bring their Boy Scout handbooks to have activities signed off.
Bring old jeans for rock climbing - the granite in Joshua Tree is very abrasive and will tear holes in the knees and seats of pants of climbers that scoot or slide on the rock.
COST: $20 per scout/family
Fee includes 2 meals for scouts, Saturday night dessert and camp fees.
