Mataguay and the camps in the Cuyamaca area are satisfactory alternatives, but they are a very long drive. It isn't practical to schedule lifesaving merit badge classes at those locations unless you plan to camp there for a whole week. There is also a specialty shop at the camp that stocks all the badges and insignia for uniforms. That will need to be replaced in some fashion.

I rode my bicycle from Chula Vista to places as far away as San Vicente reservoir in search of merit badge counselors. It's going to be difficult to find an alternative facility for the swimming related badges.

I miss listening to Roger Hedgecock in the afternoons. I'll bet he is pretty fired up on the issue by now.

Mataguay survived a scandal a few years back
that so reinforces the need for the Boy Scouts to take a strong stand against the predatory nature of the gay agenda.

One of the adult male leaders was inviting counselors up to his cabin at night and one of the boys finally talked. Our good friend was a counselor there at the time (not one of those boys) and couldn't have been more shocked.
He'd known, and trusted, that leader for years.
The leader was duly prosecuted and
parents rallied behind Mataguay.
It's a wonderful camp, and the situation was handled with great dignity.

Wow...amazing!
We live in Chula Vista...it's growing so fast.
We're not quite ready to give up the perfect weather yet.
