Founded in 1913, Troop 4 is one of the oldest Scout troops in the western U.S. and one of the largest in the Greater Los Angeles Area Council. Because of our history and large volunteer staff, we offer a variety of exciting events, projects, and adventures for the complete Scouting experience. Troop 4 Scouts have fun and that’s the key to our success in building character, leadership, and a commitment to community service.
Participants need to complete a Big Bear Liability form and BSA Permission form. You can download those here. You will also need to get a completed BSA Part C health form signed by your physician if you have not had one done in the last year.
At this point we will plan to depart from Scouthaus at 5 am as the trip takes about 3 hours to drive and lifts open at 8:30am. Slopes close at 4pm, so will likely be back around 9pm with stop for dinner.
On the day of the trip, please bring the following:
Payment needs to be made in full prior to the trip. Details to follow.
Remember that a Scout is Reverent! If you are a high school student, please sign up for the PRAY program with Pastors Martha and Twine Campbell, from our chartering organization, Westminster Presbyterian Church. Earn your Religious Emblem!
Discounts on lessons, rentals, lift tickets for Scouts at Bear Mountain – all levels of skiing. Plus, work on your Snow Sports Merit Badge (download and bring this worksheet).
Sign up here. This one will fill up quickly, so put your name on the list now if you think you want to go. You will need Part C medical clearance from your doctor. More information on costs and lodging to follow. At this point, we plan to leave about 11am on Saturday and return late Sunday night after skiing. We are considering lodging options including snow camping for those properly equipped, and cabins for others. Stay tuned!
Thanks to all who came out today, Charles and his crew were able to finish the project. It looks awesome!
