Scouting programs help young people reach their full potential by turning them away from drugs, gangs, juvenile delinquency and violence and helping them to
focus on developing positive traits such as physical and mental fitness, self-worth, self-esteem, self-reliance, personal satisfaction,
patriotism, and respect for others.

Camp Marin Sierra [MC]
BSA High Sierra Camp
Chubb Lake, Tahoe National Forest;
Camp Website;
The 320 acres of Camp Marin Sierra are located in the redwoods of the Tahoe National Forest at an elevation between 5,500 and 5,600 feet.
Chubb Lake provides the camp with virtually all the aquatic programs Scouting has to offer except motor boating and waterskiing,
which are conducted as a Hi-Adventure activity at nearby Lake Spalding. A notable point about Chubb Lake
is that it is approximately 30 feet deep in the middle and therefore one of the warmest lakes in the Sierras.
The camp has 13 troop campsites of various sizes with tent platforms and centrally located but shared outhouses, running water, and wood-burning/boiler showers.
Available for Winter Camping.
