Gold Rush Adventure

Gold Rush Adventure! - SOLD OUT
Bear Creek Road will be closed 24 hours a day from October 2-December 10, 2023. Boulder Creek will only be accessible via Highway 9 during this period. Please plan accordingly.
**NEWS FLASH** Gold has been discovered in Boulder Creek! Join Gold Rush Adventure at Boulder Creek Scout Reservation.
Experience the “gold fever” of pioneers flocking west to find their fame and fortune. Do you have what takes to stake and work your claim? Pan for gold, shoot like a cowboy, shoot air rifles and muzzleloading rifles, throw tomahawks and toilet plungers, start a fire with flint & steel, make candles, rope, and bullets, lasso a steer and cut wood for your cabin!
Selected Scouts will compete in the Gold Rush Challenge!
We have a custom silk-screen with this year’s Gold Rush Adventure Logo. Bring a plain T-shirt (any size, any color – we have black and white ink) and take home a custom T-shirt!
