A Closing Song

Here is a video of David Doyle, Camp Director in 2009 and 2010, singing "Pico Blanco", a song he wrote, at a closing campfire.


Not too long ago
I traveled to a land
A place where redwoods stand
A place where boys can grow

They called it pico
Pico Blanco
That's where I want to go
That's where I am

It's where I learned about life
And how people can make things right
Where I learned about love
I learnrd about God above

Now I call her Pico
Pico Blanco
That's where I want to go
That's where I am

Pico
Pico Blanco
She is my home
She is my friend

But now it's time to go
It's time to roll up the show
To drive that dusty old road
And head home

I'll remember Pico
Pico Blanco
That's where I'll want to go
That's where I've been

Pico
Pico Blanco
She is my home
Away from home
She's a lady

The Gumby

The Gumby, the trick with the stick, is a Pico tradition. It is a stunt that is performed with a simple Scout Stave or "Gumby Stick". Watch this video for a quick history from the original gumby. Then, watch the video below and see if you can beat this guy's time:

Experience Quicksand at Skinner Creek

As part of the Pico Pathfinders High Adventure program, some scouts explored off-trail up Skinner Creek, looking for sights rarely seen by humans. One was some quicksand on a sandbar. As an added bonus, the Pathfinders got to name some of the campsites they discovered for use by Scouts in the future.

A reminder from the Basin Complex Fire of 2008

Two years ago, Pico was threatened by the Basin Complex Fire. Here are some videos from KSBW to remind us of the successful effort to save the camp.
