Greetings Pack 102 Families, Our Twilight Camp this year was so much fun. Thank you to all the leaders and parents who came out to help and thank you to the Pioneer Express District. They put on another great camp this year. All our Scouts had a blast making fun crafts like seashell wind chimes, floating sea turtles, and leather tie slides as well as archery, bb guns, climbing the monkey bridge, running the obstacle course and playing fun water games.

Hello Pack 102 Families, You are invited to go family style tent camping with our Pack.

They can explore a pygmy forest. They can hike, jog, or bicycle the splendid Fern Canyon Scenic Trail beside Little River. Of all the park system's units along the Mendocino coast, Van Damme is perhaps the richest in terms of historical resources connected with the redwood lumber industry.  Van Damme is a great place for hiking, biking, birding, jogging, kayaking, botaniz...
