We have a great day planned at the YAC, located on Fiesta Island.
Kayaks, sailboats, canoes are all part of the fun.
The scouts will have a little informative session on the importance of PFD’s and
the care of the equipment before venturing out into the small cove near the Aquatic
Center.
We will break for lunch at noon. Each scout will need to have his own sack lunch
and drink.

This event has been canceled.  The Lake Hodges area sustained heavy damage due to fires and is not usable at this time.  The air quality in the county is still considered unhealthy for this type of activity.  We will plan to reschedule this bike ride in another location at a later date.  Stay tuned for updates.
 

This 14-mile singletrack trail is perfect for our beginning mountain bike experience. Situated in
a beautiful coastal canyon, the area surrounding Lake Hodges offers a trail system ideal to
introductory mountain-biking, while providing challenges for the more experienced as well.
Varying terrain includes streams, lush river valleys, canopied oak forests, and arid rocky open
areas. Rolling trails with challenging off-shoots provide enjoyment for bicyclists of all abilities.
Scouts will come away with a new perspective of the many coastal canyons which make up
much of the Southern California coastline. A truly memorable experience.

Boy Scouts of Troop 11:  Please download the outing description and permission slip.  

This outing is a joint outing with Venture Crew 11, and offers an opportunity for
those Scouts and adults who are relatively new to backpacking and wish to refresh their
backpacking skills in an easy fun setting. It is also a chance for the more experienced Scouts to
enjoy an easy backpack and share their experience and knowledge.

 Oriflamme Canyon is the gateway from the mountains to the Desert.  Originally used by Pedro Fages when he led a military expedition from the San Diego Presidio in search of deserters.  Later this canyon provided the access needed to the desert for the Jackass Mail route east.  Eventually, other routes openedbetween the mountains and the desert, but the history of Oriflamme remains.

 

Normally, this canyon has water running year-round.  Because of the extremely dry weather this last year, Oriflamme Creek is dry, so we will provide a water cache at the site.
