Butte Creek Scout Ranch
Dirt washes off… but grit lasts forever.
Welcome to the Wild West!
The moment Cub Scouts step onto Main Street at Butte Creek Scout Ranch, they’re transported to an old frontier town where adventure awaits around every corner. With a Western-style main street, Pony Express mail delivery, and the spirit of the frontier all around, Scouts quickly find themselves imagining life in the days of the Wild West.
As the only Cub Scout horse ranch on the West Coast, Butte Creek offers a one-of-a-kind camp experience. Scouts can ride horses, try their aim at archery and BB targets, explore the outdoors, and gather each evening for hilarious campfire programs—all set in an unforgettable Western-themed adventure.
At Butte Creek Scout Ranch, Cub Scouts build confidence, learn new skills, and grow through hands-on experiences in a safe and exciting environment. It’s a place where friendships form, memories are made, and young Scouts take their first big steps in Scouting.

Come on down for the best show in town! At the Street Show on Main Street, Scouts step into a scene straight out of the Old West. Our authentic western street front sets the stage for an evening filled with music, dancing, and good ol’-fashioned fun.
Strike it rich at Butte Creek! Scouts step into the boots of an old-time prospector, panning for gold just like in the days of the Wild West. With a pan in hand and a keen eye, they’ll sift through dirt and gravel in search of a glimmer of treasure.
Saddle up for a true ranch experience at the Butte Creek Corral! Horses are at the heart of life on the frontier, and Scouts will have the chance to get up close with these amazing animals.
Butte Creek is a working ranch, and that means plenty of friendly animals to meet along the way. Scouts can spend time visiting with a variety of farm animals and learning what life is like on a real ranch.
Take a little time to relax at the Butte Creek fishing pond. Our fishin’ hole is stocked with trout each year, giving Scouts the chance to cast a line and see what they can catch.
