Skillicorn BBQ 2025
A Legacy of Support: The Story of Skillicorn BBQ
For over six decades, the Skillicorn BBQ has been a cornerstone of support for local Scouting in the Pajaro Valley. What began over 60 years ago as an annual gathering of men at Crosetti Ranch to raise funds for local Boy Scout troops quickly outgrew the space. The event, named after its second home at Skillicorn Ranch, eventually became the cherished family gathering we know today, held annually at the Padres Hall in Corralitios.
The Skillicorn BBQ is a vital fundraiser for the Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council, directly benefiting the Scouting America programs in our area. This includes Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, and Exploring across Santa Cruz County.
Through the incredible generosity of attendees, the BBQ has enabled countless local Scouts to participate in leadership programs and has provided over $600,000 in Campership Awards, ensuring deserving youth can experience the transformative power of Scout Summer Camp and Cub Scout Day Camp.
More than just a fundraiser, the Skillicorn BBQ is a beloved annual tradition, a chance to connect with friends, enjoy delicious food, and celebrate community. It’s also a special occasion to honor the newest Eagle Scouts in the District and recognize the esteemed “Friend of Scouting” Award recipient.
