In November 2023, White Stag Monterey was selected to become the stewards of Camp Pico Blanco, with a mission to preserve the historical redwood forest of Big Sur, ensuring future use for youth leadership, outdoor activities for our local community, and Scouting.
Prior to the selection, the property was at risk of being sold to developers and the majestic ecosystem of the Ancient Redwoods and Little Sur River could have been lost. However, now that White Stag Monterey has been awarded the awesome responsibility to manage and maintain Camp Pico Blanco, we are reaching out to our White Stag & Scouting families, friends, and Community to raise the $650,000 needed to complete the financial commitment to the SVMB Scouting Council. We owe great thanks to those donors who have helped us raise the initial one million plus dollars to date.
Due to timing constraints, we had to secure a short-term financing loan for the remainder, which is now due and payable. We are reaching out to you to help us preserve the amazing Camp Pico Blanco for year-round outdoor activities and leadership training. Please contribute and HELP us get the word out. Share this fundraiser with friends, family, and email contacts. Let them know this is important to you!
