Lightweight Backpacking is an essential if you plan any backpacking trip for more than a couple of miles. With a backpack that's to heavy, you won't be able to get very far. If you manage to get to your destination, you'll be exhausted and won't be able to enjoy yourself. Now, if you bring along a much lighter pack, with just the essential stuff, you feel better, last longer, and actually enjoy your backpacking experience. Guaranteed!!! Click here
Knots. One of man's most primitive tools. With this tool, you can build almost anything. At Scout outings and around your house, you have probably tied many knots. Some were simple, and maybe some were hard. Knots can help you tie a fish hook on your fishing pole, help you tie down your tent while camping, or help in a mountain rescue. The point is, knots are important. This section of our website will help learn a few basic knots you need to know for rank advancement.Click here

 

 

 What is first aid and why do I have to know it? First aid is three things. Treating life-threatening dangers. Keeping the victim safe from further harm and getting proper medical help for the victim. Now, why do you have to know it? Just think, if no one knew first aid, who would fix your friend when he got his broken arm. Or who would save your grandpa's life by giving him his lifesaving CPR? The point is, first aid saves peoples lives. Chances are that you'll need to use first aid; not only when you go camping with your fellow scouts, but at home, work or school. Click here
Finding your way around is something you will not just do on a scout campout, but rather, a skill you can use through out your life. Just think, when was the last time you were in the car with your family? If you were going somewhere you have never been before, your parents portably used a map. Being able to read this map can mean the difference between getting lost, or getting where you want to go. Click here

Stetson Ranch was an old boy scout ranch back in the forties and fifties. Believe it or not, Mr. Hauser discovered the ranch while looking on a map. Mr. Hauser and his wife thought it would be interesting to go see what was there. What they found was the pond, and old scout ranch littered with old buildings and equipment. What they also found was apples. Lots of them. Stetson ranch was also just that, a ranch. Mr. Hauser immediately started research on the old ranch. He found the owners and received permission to let our scout troop use the land for some of our campouts as long as we do some projects to keep the place maintained. Mr. Hauser has really taken the place to his liking. He has gone up on his own many times to fix and repair the cabins. When apple season comes along, our troop makes it a family campout. We'll spend the day up there picking apples. Once, we even filled the back of a 150 Ford truck full of apples. Last November, Troop 316 from Costa Mesa California joined us in the harvest. The apples are so good too; no pesticides or anything, just the way God intended them to be. Currently, a family has bought the ranch for a weekend getaway. They allow us to use the property just as the previous owners did, doing maintenance and repair for use of the land. As I said before, this is Mr. Hauser's project. He has created this website, which is dedicated to the Stetson Scout Ranch. Here you'll find history of the ranch as well as pictures of the original owners and many other interesting facts. Be sure and tell Mr. Hauser if you like it. Click Here
