Program

The Highlander Program

Started in 2003, the Mt. Diablo Silverado Council's Highlander program encourages youth in Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturing to experience the outdoor wonders that exist within our Council. The program is a series of 14 progressive hikes with a center patch awarded with the first hike and a rocker for each hike. Patches are available for purchase at the Pleasant Hill Scout Shop, or by mail order with the patch order form. Many of the hikes are specific trails, but others, Briones for example, may be awarded for any hikes done within the park. Most of the hikes can be done by youth of any age, however the more difficult ones should only be attempted by Boy Scouts or Venturers.

The rivers of Northern California and the Pacific Ocean provide different settings for different Paddlesports experiences.  A Scout or leader who completes his first  PATH OF THE PADDLE adventure earns the center segment and a rocker.  Each completed outing earns one more rocker.

Camp Wolfeboro

Can recall anticipation of going camping as a youth? The opportunity to sleep out under the stars and getting away from home--no matter how far--is a feeling that many of us remember fondly. This outdoor adventure is still the promise of Scouting--indeed three fourths of Scouting is "outing".
