Lake Berryessa Work (and fun) Projects
Next work/fun date is Saturday, August 12th

 Camp Berryessa could use some help from everyone in the Council. There is a work party planned for the second Saturday of each month, until we run out of good weather.  Arrive early (or the night before) so you can start before the day gets too hot. If this isn't a good date for you but you have the desire to help, write Orrin oshack7@yahoo.com) or Cindy (csanders@sutro.com) for projects that your group could tackle.

Where were you when we needed your help?

Saturday July 8, 2000.  A small crew of nineteen showed up to save the Boy Scout Camp at Lake Berryessa from the Bureau of Land Reclamation who had made it very clear that we need to get a lot of work done.  Despite sending out e-mail to everyone I knew and asking those people to send out more e-mail, the same "old" volunteers showed up to get the job done.  

When you see them, tell them, "Thank you for saving our camp."  Next time the call goes out, please try to give a little of your time to help.  Scouting gets things done on the backs of its volunteers.  Let's not break the backs of the few, when many should be available.  

If we had more people, we could have done more.  

Far too few people showed up.  I was rather disappointed to say the least with the scouting volunteers, especially from Napa and Lake Districts who also use the camp. 

You are welcome to comment in the discussion section of the web site. Click on Content and look for "Where were you?".

The major clean-up projects consisted of:

  • removal all the from the old campground fire places out to the parking lot where it will removed.

  • removal of excess drift wood scattered around the camp.

  • installation of new fire rings in camp areas

  • painting of the trading post
