I found this 1965 photo of Richard Allen Beach in an old box of my stuff at my Mom's house. There were a few of we Scouts who earned the privilege to call this smiling giant, "Shorty."

Submitted for your memories,

Camp Wolverton is a Boy Scout camp located in Sequoia National Park, California, at an elevation of 7200 feet. The Camp is about two miles from the former Giant Forest Village and three miles from Lodgepole Campground and Visitor's Center.

Here are photos of 2006-2007 winter damage to the Lodge.

Here is the new roof put on summer, 2007!

Frank Glick did another wonderful design for this year's patch. The staff patch has a red border and is Here. The camper patch has a brown border and is seen Here. The patch for 2008 commemorates the 70th summer at Camp Wolverton. The Council name was included on this year’s patch for the first time in 20 years, and the sixth time ever. The design for 2008 was modified from 2007.

Wolverton is a primitive base camp in the shadows of beautiful red fir trees, some of which are probably 250 to 300 years old. The older and larger Sequoia trees are only a few miles away in Giant Forest.

There is no electricity in Camp but there are hot showers. Each campsite contains a picnic table, water, fire barrel, trash can and a latrine.

Most troops now use Wolverton as a base camp prior to leaving on a long-term hike into the High Sierra. These troops usually spend only a night or two in Camp. Other troops spend an entire week at Camp and set up their own "summer camp." program.

There are many in-Camp opportunities, short day hikes and Park Service activities available.
