Camp Riggs Johnston - Elk River Scout Camp

Camp Riggs Johnston - Elk River Scout Camp Camp Riggs Johnston (formerly known as Elk River Scout Camp) Camp Riggs Johnston began life as a logging camp belonging to the Carson Lumber Company.

The newest camp to Crater Lake Council this little-known jewel, Riggs Johnston Scout Camp (formerly known as Elk River Scout Camp) lies nestled in the redwoods near Eureka. Although the original camp was equipped with rail facilities, including an engine house and water tower, few of these relics remain. The present dining hall and kitchen were part of the original facility.

Troop 54 is hiking out here to Camp Riggs through the McCay track this weekend. Looks like the Scouts got to experience at least 2 seasons.

It looks like Camp o ree will be at Camp Riggs.

After careful consideration and weighing of restrictions and limitations, it looks as though we are going to have to change the location of the Camporee. The site in Arcata has some good points, but some of the things they were asking us to do didn't translate well to what a Camporee is. I should have come to this decision a long time ago and spread the word sooner. I am very sorry for the very late notice, but I was optimistic I could make it work, I just don't think we can.
Luckily, we have for our use as a back up one of my favorite places, Camp Riggs. The only tricky part is the gate. It will be open from 5-7:30 Friday night. If you need it open another time, let me know. The phone number at camp is 442-9399 and most people get reception up until the gate.

I am sorry for this sudden change, I hope it doesn't disrupt your plans too much. I am sure there is more information I need to put into this email, but I am scrambling to appropriately modify things and a bit scattered at the moment. If this mucks up your efforts, I will do my best to help you out wherever I can.

Please get the word out to your Scouts & Leaders. I plan on making some phone calls tonight too to make sure the word spreads. If you could respond with a quick acknowledgement email so I know you got this, that would be appreciated.

Day three of "Quest for Treasure Island", had a visit from the Fire Department and Smokey Bear, learned how to shoot muskets (bb guns), played chess and made a neckerchief slide out of a chess piece, played field games (summer Olympics are coming), and put a coat of paint on our bird houses. Lots of smiles at Camp this year.
