Camp Robert Cole

From ScoutWiki, For Everyone, Everywhere involved with Scouting and Guiding...

Camp Robert Cole is nestled in the heart of the Sierra Nevada mountains, near Truckee CA. Here the scouter and leader alike gain an unparalleled scouting experience. Granite canyons and tree-lined trails offer great day hikes or mountain biking opportunities. Fishing, swimming, sailing, rock climbing and all kinds of shooting sports fill out the scout experience. Block merit badge schedules mean more completed merit badges and give leaders time to relax and enjoy the beauty that Camp Robert Cole is famous for.
