Scouting in California has a long history, from the 1910s to the present day, serving thousands of youth in programs that suit the environment in which they live.


California Scouting and the 2020 Pandemic

The Governor of the State of California has canceled his "Stay-At-Home" orders and has allowed the following facilities to open. However closures may still be in effect for Los Angeles County, the Bay Area and select other locals.

Early history (1910-1950)

Many Scouts in California prior to the charter of the BSA were the youth auxiliary of the California Highway Patrol (similar to Law Enforcement Explorers, while others belonged to the Peace Scouts of California, another pre-BSA Scouting association.

Recent history (1950-1990)

Camp Cherry Valley on California's Santa Catalina Island.

The 1953 National Scout Jamboree was held at Irvine Ranch, California. Jamboree Road in Newport Beach, California, commemorates the site of the 1953 Jamboree.
