Climbing starts at 7:00 am. 2. You need 21 nights of camping to get Eagle. 3. First class cooking signoff is much easier to do on a two nighter. Our next two nighter is Kern River in May. \nEQUIPMENT: Bring standard camp gear for car camping. The rock climbing school provides all climbing gear. Bring warm clothes. Weather ranges from 70 degrees in the day to 35 degrees at night. We will camp at 3200’\, and it can be cold and windy at night.

The exit is marked Morongo Valley and Yucca Valley.• Continue on Route 62 for approximately 28 miles to Joshua Tree.• Continue east through the city of Joshua Tree for about 12 miles. • Make a right turn (south) on Indian Cove Road. Drive about 1 mile to the Park entrance. Then you continue on 2 miles and turn right into the group campsite area. We are in group campsite 1• There is usually decent cell-phone coverage in camp• The number for the NPS Ranger at Indian Cove is 760-362-4367. \nFAQ’s \nQ: Can we drive in Saturday morning?A: Yes\, but you have to be there by 7:45 for the climbing \nQ: My son has a game\, can he come in late/early and still get the badge? A: No\, the badge takes all day\, including a classroom session around 4:00 pm. \nQ: What sort of climbing is required to get the badge?A: The Scouts needs to climb three different routes and repell three different routes. They also need to belay (with a guide back-up) three climbers on their routes. The routes are appropriate for beginners yet challenging for most of our Scouts. They have a safety line on at all times with little to no slack. \nQ: Can Dads climb?A: Yes\, dads can climb in the half day option. Priority for the limited spaces will go to the Scouts. If a Dad signs up for the half day and get bumped out by a Scout\, his check will be returned. Normally we have space for Dads! \nQ: My son doesn’t have the merit badge\, can he just climb the half day?A: No URL:https://www.bsa-troop355.org/event/indian-cove-rock-climbingclick-for-details-6/ CATEGORIES:High Adventure END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161106T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161106T000000 DTSTAMP:20260412T050326 CREATED:20200819T024023Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200819T024023Z UID:2516-1478390400-1478390400@www.bsa-troop355.org SUMMARY:Indian Cove Rock ClimbingClick for Details DESCRIPTION:JOIN TROOP 355 AT JOSHUA TREEWHEN: Friday November 4th to Sunday November 6thWHERE: Indian Cove Campground\, Group Sites 1 Joshua Tree National Park.

A: No\, the badge takes all day\, including a classroom session around 4:00 pm. \nQ: What sort of climbing is required to get the badge?A: The Scouts needs to climb three different routes and repell three different routes. They also need to belay (with a guide back-up) three climbers on their routes. The routes are appropriate for beginners yet challenging for most of our Scouts. They have a safety line on at all times with little to no slack. \nQ: Can Dads climb?A: Yes\, dads can climb in the half day option. Priority for the limited spaces will go to the Scouts. If a Dad signs up for the half day and get bumped out by a Scout\, his check will be returned. Normally we have space for Dads! \nQ: My son doesn’t have the merit badge\, can he just climb the half day?A: No URL:https://www.bsa-troop355.org/event/indian-cove-rock-climbingclick-for-details/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161031T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161031T000000 DTSTAMP:20260412T050326 CREATED:20200819T024021Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200819T024023Z UID:2512-1477872000-1477872000@www.bsa-troop355.org SUMMARY:Halloween DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.bsa-troop355.org/event/halloween-6/ CATEGORIES:Holiday END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161030T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161030T150000 DTSTAMP:20260412T050326 CREATED:20200819T024020Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200819T024020Z UID:2511-1477818000-1477839600@www.bsa-troop355.org SUMMARY:Troy Worley's Eagle ProjectClick for Details DESCRIPTION:Dear Troop 355\, \nMy name is Troy Worley and I will be doing my Eagle Project this upcoming weekend.
