Members from Troop 60 visit Camp Bogardus to help set up future events for Troop 60 on San Juan Island.  Camp Bogardus is owned and maintained by Troop 4090.  It is a hidden away Scout Camp that has been used by many Troops over the years.  Behind camp is a NPS trail that leads right to the English Camp with all its rich history.  A short hike to and from the English Camp will earn you a really nice Historic Trails Patch.  A longer 15 mile hike between the English and American Camps will earn you a really nice Historic Trails Medal.

Camp Bogardus can be used in so many ways.  Structures include multiple campsites, a parade field, an activity shelter, a Scout Lodge, a raised stage for campfire events, a blacksmith forge, Frisbee Golf, a tomahawk range, an archery range, a shooting range, a zipline, monkey rope bridge, lumberjack sawing competition, multiple fire bowls, covered group area with wood stove and Propane BBQ grill, a teepee, an orienteering course, a surveying course, knot tying stations, croquet, foosball, boardgames and so much more.  And since the San Juan Islands are so popular for biking, this makes for a great stop or even a headquarters for a big biking event.
