Have You Been Fingerprinted? The State of California requires leaders in youth organizations to take an online training class and to be Live Scan fingerprinted. We cannot register adults for 2023 without this. Click the red button for more info.
Every winter, Camp Tahquitz gets a good amount of snow... and you can camp in it! We are open almost year-round for you and your Scouts to come up to enjoy. By reservation only, spots have filled up!
Wow! Scouts collected 16,266 pounds of food this past weekend in our annual food collection drive. See photos here. A great showing of support for our community. Thank you to all who participated!
Heads up! We will be closed the week of Thanksgiving. We're still open this week, and this Saturday from 10a-1p. Come see us before Thanksgiving break! Again, we are closed next week but still open today.
As of today, we have 3 of 17 Packs and 12 of 27 Troops that have started their online renewals for 2023. Recharters are due November 30, only two weeks from now. Please be sure someone from your unit is coordinating this important task.
Accidents happen. It's how we respond to them that matters. To ensure the safety of its participants, the Boy Scouts of America expects leaders to use these guidelines and procedures. A good reminder!
Friday, November 25: our annual hike/walk around town returns to the Pan Am Park area. See event info here. An annual family favorite with an added bonus of walking off your Thanksgiving meal.
