September: A Busy Month at Pico

September has been a very busy month at Pico. Here's a summary:

August 30-September 2: Labor Day Weekend Scout Retreat - Over 300 scouts, parents, and leaders enjoyed an amazing weekend at Pico. See previous post for full summary.
September 6-7: OA Vigil Honor Ceremony
September 14: "Beaver Party" (volunteer maintenance) - Finished renovation of recognition center, checked water system, seasonal removal of fish ladder
September 13-15: Dad and Lad - "Partners in Crime" weekend for Cub Scouts and their dads.
September 20-22: Mountain Man Rendezvous - Pico Blanco was transported back to the 1840's. Scouts shot black powder rifles, threw tomahawks, lit fires with flint and steel, and dressed and camped like trappers.

On top of those scheduled Council events, several troops had their own campouts at Pico Blanco this month. You can always arrange to use the Camp here: http://www.camppicoblanco.org/files/Pico_Year_Round_Reservation_Form_2013.pdf
You can also reserve a parking permit and use Pico Blanco as a trailhead here: http://fs10.formsite.com/svmbc/form196/index.html
We want as many Scouts as possible to experience Pico and it is our pleasure to welcome you year round.
