Welcome to The Jungle Expedition: Secrets of Lost Camp Pepperdine
Where history, mystery, and Scout skills collide in the shadowy depths of Camp Pepperdine.

Welcome to The Jungle Expedition, a high adventure Scouting weekend inspired by the enduring legend of Lost Camp Pepperdine. This immersive experience is designed to challenge Scouts mentally, physically, and spiritually. Combining essential Scoutcraft, hands-on merit badge work, and mystery-based exploration, this event promises excitement and engagement from start to finish.

Throughout the weekend, Scouts will walk the very paths once traveled by a legendary patrol that vanished decades ago in the depths of Jangi Hollow. As they retrace those final steps, they'll face survival challenges, decode ancient clues, and test their teamwork and leadership. This is not just a campout—it’s a journey into the heart of Scouting’s values: bravery, preparedness, and unity.

• Earn select merit badges

The Jungle Expedition Scouts will form into patrols and journey into Jangi Hollow, navigating through themed checkpoints using maps, compasses, and critical thinking. Each station includes a mystery piece, physical challenge, or Scout skill test. Success at each checkpoint earns fragments of the original patrol flag, lost so many years ago. Only those who demonstrate cooperation, communication, and courage will uncover the final truth of Camp Pepperdine.
