| New | Greetings Scouts & Scouters! | | | 
My name is Kenneth “Baloo” Hahn, the new Camp Director at Boseker Scout Reservation the home of Camp Wiley and Camp Emerson. I live in the city of Whittier about 13 miles from the city of Los Angeles where I work in the Whittier City School District. I have my Bachelor’s Degree in History from California State University, Fullerton. I’ve spent my youth and a good portion of my adult life as a Scout and a Scouter with the Greater Los Angeles Area Council. I earned the rank of Eagle Scout and am a Vigil Honor Member in the Order of the Arrow. As an Adult Leader I have served as a Crew Advisor for 8 years with Crew 2002 and I have also served as the Chapter Advisor for the Wiyot Chapter from the Tuku’ut Lodge for three years before sliding over to serve as the Deputy Advisor of the Chapter. I have also been to National Jamboree twice; once as a youth and as an adult leader, which gave me some of the greatest Scouting Experiences of my life! My real passion has been camping though! I’ve spent 20 years working at numerous camps in California. My longest stint was at the Forest Lawn Scout Reservation located 6 miles from Lake Arrowhead for a grand total of 19 years. A part of my time at FLSR was in the Cub Scout camp as a Commissioner and Program Director. Also, during my time there I was the High Adventure Camp Director, and my focus was the C.O.P.E. Course, Climbing Wall, Horse Corral, and the Outposts. I’ve also served as the Winter Camp Director during some of the cold Winter Camp weekends at FLSR. Last summer I was the Camp Director at the Cutter Scout Reservation in Northern California ran by the Pacific Skyline Council. I’ve also worked at the Firestone Scout Reservation for a few years on the weekends. The summer of 2017 is going to be an exciting time for old timers and newcomers at Boseker Scout Reservation. The staff and I are working at bringing new and exciting changes to the camp that will be unveiled soon. I’m looking forward to meeting all of you this summer at Boseker Scout Reservation and helping to honor the nearly 100 years that the property has been in continuous operation. If you are interested in being on Summer Camp Staff for 2017 please see our website for an application or contact myself, or Tucker Adams. We are looking for individuals that want to make a positive impact on the Scouting Program. If you are interested in coming to camp and are excited to hear about the new and exciting changes, STAKE YOUR CLAIM TODAY! Call the Jack Dembo Scout Service Center today to reserve your spot! |
