This is announcement is for the traditional week long merit badge camp. It's a great camp that has received 100% positive reviews in the last two years from those who went. We've already gotten several pre-reservations.

Camp Oljato (pronounced ol-JAY-to) is located on Huntington Lake in Lakeshore, CA (Fresno County). Our camp property ranges in elevation from 7,000 to just under 8,000 feet. The camp is about 240 miles from the Pacific Skyline Council, San Mateo/Santa Clara area, about 5-6 hours driving time. Camp Oljato is accessible only by pontoon boats which run on a regular schedule during our Scout camping season. Camp Oljato has complete aquatics, nature, handicrafts, and shooting sports areas which are complemented by our highly-rated dining hall and food service team. Oljato is a name of a Navajo Indian village near Monument Valley, Utah, and the name means "Starlight on the Waters.” Flyer |

Scouts, it's started snowing, so now it's time to think about SNOW CAMPING! It's been a dry winter, but snow is finally falling. See the picture below which I took on Sunday up at Lake Alpine, where we went camping last winter. There's already plenty of snow.Snow camping offers you the chance to learn new survival skills (like building snow shelters) and put the ones you already know to a true test. This is no car camping trip: you'll hike over 1 1/2 miles on snowshoes, sleep two nights outdoors, go sledding, and have fun. If you've never done it, ask any scout who has -- several have done this trip multiple times. In Eagle Courts of Honor, snow camping always comes up as one of the most exciting and memorable trips.

all levels of skiers and snow boarders. This is a must do outing! See
YOU in the powder!
Contact Arne the trip coordinator. Your spot is secured by getting a check payment
made out to Troop 57 to Arne (money talks).

Climbing one peak is so 2011. Start 2012 off right and join the first group of Troop 57 scouts to bag Mission Peak (el. 2517’) along with its bigger brother, Monument Peak (el. 2594’). The hike has great wildlife spotting opportunities along with awesome views from the top. The route will earn you one of the 6 ROB patches and will fulfill the requirements for a 10 mile hike for the hiking merit badge.

This 25 mile cycling trip is along
the Shoreline Trail. Very interesting ride, very unusual as the trail to Alviso
(just north of San Jose) just opened up in 2011. We also will see lots of birds, animals with
great views of the Bay and Hills. At
Alviso, we take a quick break to eat snack you bring yourself, look at the
marsh area and then head back home. Meet at Scout House at 8:30! Alviso Biking Trip Flyer

On November 13th, our troop will hike an historic route
through three camps used by Peninsula scouts over the past century. We
will begin at the Cutter Scout Camp, and then travel back in time to
Camp Pomponio (which was temporarily converted to jail in the 1970's)
before ending in Memorial Park, the site of Pescadero Camp. This will be
the first group of Troop 57 scouts to go on this outing. The route will
fulfill the requirements for a ten-mile hike for the Hiking merit
badge. See attached flyer for more information. Sign up by sending an
email to either me or Jon Mewes (meweserp@yahoo.com). |
