The North Fork troop likes to go camping, swimming, hiking, and backpacking into the wilderness. Each summer the troop spends a week at Camp Chawanakee Boy Scout camp on the shores of Shaver Lake.
Over the past few years, some of the more interesting places the troop has gone include camping trips to Death Valley, Bodie ghost town, and Morro Bay.
The Scouts have visited the Castle Air Museum and more recently took a day hike to the Hites Cove mining site on the Merced River.
This past month the troop visited Columbia State Park and rode the steam train ride at Railtown 1897.
