For more than 50 years, the 11-acre Will J. Reid Scout Camp has been a close-to-home activity base for thousands of Scouts and Scouters who have used the Training Center, picnic area and overnight campsites. The campfire bowl is a memorable spot for unit campfire programs. The camp facilities include a dining hall and a full kitchen which are frequently used for Blue & Gold Banquets and Eagle Scout Courts of Honor.
Some of the Council activities held at Will J. Reid Scout Park are Cub Scout Day Camp (five weeks during July & August) and Huck Finn Day, as well as the monthly unit leader Roundtable meetings (second Thursdays) and Tribe of Tahquitz meetings (second and fourth Wednesdays).
These historic facilities are available for groups to enjoy. Please call 562-427-0911 for reservations and more information Training Center - The large Conference Center and adjoining kitchen has approx. 150 capacity for meetings, receptions or dinners.
