Cub Scout and Boy Scout Camps and Camping
When people think about Boy Scout the first thing that usually come to mind is Camping and Hiking. Cub Programs Boy Scout Programs BSA Family Camps
BSA Camps:
As as member of the Boy Scouts of America - BSA (which
Cub Scout is part of) you are part of the SBA's San
Gabriel Valley Council. The Council runs three camps :
CAMP CHERRY VALLEY (CCV) , CAMP TRASK (Trask) and Holcomb
Valley Scout Ranch (HV)
Pack 373 and Troop 373 also run their own camping programs, check with your Cubmaster or Scoutmaster.
CAMP CHERRY VALLEY, located on Santa Catalina Island, offers opportunities for world class snorkeling,, hiking,, kayaking and swimming. CCV is located on the leeward side of the island, which means the cove is calm and protected from heavy surfs perfect place for lots of fun in the water! Hike-and-swims, touring an old silver mine, the sea lab with touch tank, camping in comfortable tents under a unique variety of cherry trees, outstanding food...it's all here waiting for you to discover!

CAMP TRASK is a unique and very special place.
Located in Monrovia Canyon, it seems like you are millions of miles away
from the city! The silence in camp is broken only by the sound of
the yearend stream which flows through camp. There are no city lights,
so you can see the stars at night. There are lots of reasons
to come to Trask: the new dining hall, the great pool, the outdoor
amphitheater where you can have a great Campfire program or watch a movie,
the lake with boats, Fort, the tree house, hiking trails, and more.
But the best reason to come to Trask is: you. This is the only
place where you can "get away from it all" so quickly and conveniently.

Holcomb Valley Scout Ranch is located on a high country meadow and surrounded by tree covered hills and mountains. Holcomb Valley provides programs for all ages and stages of Scouting. Your Holcomb Valley staff is there to see that your needs are met. They will also be there to entertain and motivate your Scouts and make sure this will be a summer they will not soon forget. The Troop camp site is your home for the week and includes two man tents, picnic tables, flush toilets, and showers. A scout and his buddy have a home for a week. Your Troop Friend will be with you the whole week helping, guiding, and inspiring your Scouts. Our staff will take the time to help your Scout master skills individually and as groups. Merit badge instruction takes place in the program areas and in the camp site. Holcomb Valley offers a wide variety of merit badges. More info Link
