***Mandatory preparation for Sierra Trek***

This will be an excellent high-altitude adventure and a great work-up for The Yosemite
trek. Backpackers will be treated to spectacular views and varied terrain throughout the San Jacinto
Wilderness. On Friday, we will drive to Palm Springs and take the impressive tram up the mountain.
We’ll spend the night at Round Valley to adjust to the altitude. The next day, we will hike to the top of
San Jacinto (10,800 ft.) and then on to Strawberry Junction, covering about 9 miles. On Sunday, we’ll
hike at least 6 miles and camp in the Willow Creek area. On Monday, we’ll hike the 4 miles back to the
tram and head home. This will be a moderately strenuous route, most of it above 8000 feet. Take only
the minimum in order to keep pack weight down.

Download documents for full information. 

This is a planning meeting for the Sierra Trek outing.  All scouts planning to backpack in Yosemite this summer should attend.

Contact Troy Stofan for additional information. 

This snorkel trip will start at the famous La Jolla Cove where we will observe

some of the abundant and colorful sea life within the La Jolla Marine Preserve
and explore one of the most picturesque of the La Jolla Caves, which is open
at both ends. This trip will involve swimming a total distance of 1/3 mile (with fins).
Participants must have previously passed the BSA Swim Test.

Before entering the water we will be sure everyone has their gear fitted properly,
then we will review some basic snorkeling skills and safely rules and determine
dive buddies. We will have kayak escort during the entire event.

Scouts must bring their own properly fitting snorkel gear.  A springsuit/wetsuit is
strongly recommended and will be required if the ocean water temperature drops
below 66 degrees.  If poor sea conditions develop, this event will be canceled.
