Troops achieving their goal will be offered a free 2 night camping experience at either Wente Scout Reservation, Camp Royaneh or Rancho Los Mochos to be redeemed in 2017. Packs will receive neckerchief slides for all members to be presented at the bridging in May 2017.

SPRING Exploration Camp is a fun and exciting daily program that provides the opportunity for boys and girls ages 11-18 to explore hobbies, educational interests and useful social and personal skills during the school breaks. Trained and qualified adult supervision is provided during all program hours at the local Youth Leadership Training Center in San Leandro, a safe learning environment for all ages. The program utilizes the various Boy Scout Merit Badge topics as its "curriculum" for program activities. Merit Badge requirements can be technical and challenging, so we do not necessarily expect a day-long program to be able to complete a full merit badge. Location: YLTC, 1001 Davis St., San Leandro CA Program: 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. (check in at 8:45-9 a.m.) Cost: $65 per full day Exploration. Lunch and a water bottle included. Information about requirements not being covered, as well as prerequisite needs for each merit badge session are included in the registration and on the website. Go to ww.sfbac.org Exploration Choices for Spring session are:
