The News About Pico

Due to the Basin Complex Fire in Big Sur, our traditional Camp Pico Blanco has been cancelled for this year. Scoutmaster Randall has been trying to get a replacement camp and finally found one: Camp Emerald Bay on Santa Catalina Island. The troop last went here in 2003, and was told it was pretty much impossible to get in again. However, due to our status as "fire refugees," they let us come in at last minute and also took almost $100 off the admission price for the week-long camp. The water is supposed to be much warmer than Pico and most of us will probably take entirely water-oriented merit merit badges.
