Escape to the Top of the Mountain! Volunteering 100+ Years of Expertise in Making Memories
(266)

Our Scouting America Camp is
your refuge across 1 square mile of mighty
ponderosa forest & tranquil meadows.
30 min from Big Bear & your gateway to San Gorgonio. Camp Tahquitz is the premier Boy Scout Summer Camp for scouts wanting to experience high adventure, earn merit badges, and explore outdoor activities from the traditional to the extreme. Owned and operated by the Long Beach Area Council since 1959, the camp is one square mile (640 acres) of pristine forest land in the Barton Flats area of the San Bernardino Mountains about 30 minutes south of Big Bear Lake and less than three hours from most cities in Southern California. Staffed by Honor Scouts and experienced scouting professionals, Camp Tahquitz is the place where memories are made that last a lifetime. In addition to traditional merit badge courses, camp activities include — archery, r***e shooting, rowing; canoeing, backpacking, climbing & rappelling, nature studies, horseback riding and camp craft, just to name a few.

Introducing the Wildland Fire Management Merit Badge!
Thank you to the incredible volunteers of San Bernardino County Fire Station 98 who came out to Camp Tahquitz for our first ever offering of the Wildland Fire Management Merit Badge during our Monster Mountain campout!

Over 40 Scouts earned the badge while cutting fire line, running hose, and paying their respects at the altar of the all mighty duo Pulaski & McLeod.

We look forward to offering this brand new badge during summer 2027!

Monster Mountain 2026 was a terrifying success! Thank you to our dear friends from Lost Valley for helping to bring this event to life. We are honored to keep the tradition of Zombie Weekend alive and look forward to hosting this annual reunion of Valley alumni and collaboration with Tahquitz staff to produce an event designed to capture the imagination of older Scouts and adult leaders.

A special thanks to Troop 2017G for their incredible support and volunteers as well!

This year we gave 98 Youth and Adults a chance to be prey to the mountains nightmares during 10 guided narrative immersive haunts, each lasting 1.5 hours with over a mile+ of screams in the deep woods.

Next time won't you fear with us... Our legends wait for you...

See you in 2027!
