WLACC is Sad to Announce Camp Josepho Destroyed in Wildfire

We regret to inform you that Camp Josepho, our 84-year-old Scouting Camp located in the Santa Monica Mountains, has been destroyed in the Pacific Palisades Fire. While this loss is heartbreaking, our primary focus is supporting families and communities affected by the devastating wildfires across Los Angeles.

“Scouting families are among the thousands who have lost everything,” said Lee Harrison, Scout Executive & CEO of the Western Los Angeles County Council. “Our top priority is assisting them and others in need.”

The Council is actively organizing relief efforts, including a large donation of water for those in need and collaborating with local officials to provide additional support. Though the loss of

Camp Josepho is significant, we remain committed to ensuring youth have opportunities to learn leadership skills and connect with nature, whether at a rebuilt camp or another location.

Thank you for standing with us during this devastating time.

Together, we can help our community recover.

As we work to support those affected, we are asking for your help to provide essential supplies and resources to families in need. Your donation will make a direct impact in aiding our neighbors during this challenging time and ensuring they feel the strength of our Scouting community. Together, we can make a difference,
