Los Angeles Area Council - BSA ing Had three camps in the local mountains (Lake Arrowhead Scout Camps) and several more.
The local mountains have been subjects of wild-fires for melleniums.
The camp fees were addressed by facilities resources available. "Big Horn" expensive, with dinning-hall. "Pepperdine" great merit-badge resources - cook your own "Cedar" scared by multiple fires - resonable - same programs.
The following Col Boggie was "banned" from being sung...by the staff... But, somehow ... it reapeared each summer ... And was sung with gusto and pride by each new week's campers:
Cedar ... with all its burnt out trees ... Cedar, looks like a great disease... Cedar - We can beat her ... With either Bighorn or even Pepperdine.
Sincerely, Gargoyle
Curiously, that camping complex is now known as "Forest Lawn" a local mortuary/cemetery conglomerate.
