by | May 29, 2019 | News, Notifications | 0 comments

Trail Life Families,

Due to the weekend weather conditions in Mt. Pinos, we have decided to change our camping location to the Lake Cachuma campground.  The dates, times and cost have not changed, just the location.  We will keep the registration open for today until 5pm.  At 5pm we will take the final tally of campers and proceed with food planning and purchasing.  See below for full details, or check out the highlights here:

 

Awards Ceremony - June 11th

Our awards ceremony is just a couple of weeks away— It will be held on June 11th at 6:15pm.  Please be sure to update your calendars accordingly.  Our awards ceremony is an opportunity for us to award all of our Trailmen for their incredibly hard work all season long on their badgework.  The additional week gives us time for many of our Trailmen to finish tests and their final week of class— but also gives you an opportunity to complete any sort of Family Home Activities needed to complete any close but short badges— see below for more.  Feel free to invite the whole family to this event— as it's always fun, and we will have Dessert afterwards over in room 1 and 2.

 

 

Lake Cachuma Camping Trip— registration closes Today at 5pm!

Our final camping trip of the season is just a few weeks away, on beautiful Lake Cachuma! Camp is Friday May 31st - Sunday June 2nd.  This is an awesome car camping experience in the high mountains...and will be an easy way to camp with your Trailmen before the season ends.  Cost is $30 per camper, and will include food as well as the cost of the campsites.  Note that there are two vehicles allowed per site, please try to carpool with others in order to keep the camp cost at a minimum.  Please ensure that you register by 5/29 as we'll need to have a final count in order to purchase the food and supplies for the camp.  Registration will be officially closed on 5/29, 5pm.
