=== Desert ATV Program === | |||
Scouts attending the 2019 season at Schoepe Scout Reservation at Lost Valley will have the opportunity to ride ATVs as part of the ATV rider safety program. Orange County Council is very excited to have been selected by our National Office to conduct a pilot program aimed at teaching proper ATV safety and maintenance to Scouts. Polaris Industries Inc., the leading manufacturer of off-road vehicles, donated six Polaris ATVs to make this program possible. | |||
The ATV rider safety program consists of 5 hours of hands-on training on the riding range. For practice drills, Scouts weave in between cones, perform emergency stops and turns, learn machine maintenance, and review safety regulations. | |||

The Indian history of Lost Valley stretches back thousands of years. To the Cupeño people, it was known as Wiatava, the place of the oaks. Trade routes cris-crossed the valley, and the annual acorn harvest was an important event each fall. | The Indian history of Lost Valley stretches back thousands of years.
