Campsedit
Boulder Creek Scout Reservation entrance
Cutter Scout Reservation (located in the Santa Cruz Mountains) is a Scout camp set in a redwood grove north of Big Basin Redwoods National Park. The camp contains many activities including a pool, a lake (Lake Gamlen), and an operational C.O.P.E. course. Many council weekend events are held at the reservation including Camporees, Order of the Arrow ordeals, and fellowships. In August 2020, the CZU Lightning Complex Fire burned through the camp. Several bigger structures, including the Harkson Lodge, were lost in the blaze, but the Troop Services Building, the Pool, and a number of smaller structures survived.[4]
Camp Oljato is a camp for Boy Scouts located at Huntington Lake in Lakeshore, CA (Fresno County). The site was previously a pair of Jewish resident camps known as Camp Kelowa for Boys and Camp Singing Trail for Girls, which are now known as Camp Tawonga. In 1942, the camp was converted to a Boy Scout camp. The camp's property ranges in elevation from 7,000 to just under 8,000 feet (2,400 m) above sea level. Camp Oljato is primarily accessible by pontoon boats; these boats run on a regular schedule during the Scout camping season running from mid June to mid August.[6]
