Summer 2010 #1: The Camping Season is About to Begin

In two weeks, Scouts will be crossing over Bottchers Gap, prepared for a week of fun, learning, and growth, Scouting at its best. The 2010 Pico Blanco Staff has worked hard to prepare for this year's camping season. All year we have been collaborating, meeting, training, envisioning, and preparing, often late into the night, so that they can provide a quality, life changing experience. The 2010 Pico Staff includes many experienced staff members along with some brand new ones. Starting next Saturday, the staff will spend a week in camp getting it ready for your arrival.

We are prepared to serve you beneath the redwoods this summer.

Please check this blog regularly for updates throughout the summer. We will post photos, stories, and news about what is taking place at Pico Blanco Scout Reservation. Feel free to comment with any questions or requests.

The Polar Bear Song

Super polar bear, super polar bear

See him swim, see him swim

In the freezing water, in the freezing water

But who cares? But who cares?

What people say about Camp Pico Blanco

From actual Troop and Pack Camp Evaluation Forms from Summer 2009

"It is impressive on how the camp has been brought back up to speed after so much devastation caused by the (Basin Complex) fire."

"Staff members set an extraordinarily good example to scouts."

"If you earn a merit badge at Pico, you have truly earned it."

"The Polar Bear was an awesome event. What a great way to wake up!"

"Food was excellent. It was probably the best camp food I have ever had."
