Scouts and Youth Groups

Why not try a fun-filled weekend with your scouts at White Pines Ranch? All activities, equipment, five meals (plus a bedtime snack on Saturday) and lodging are included in the per person cost.

White Pines Ranch offers an All Fun, No Work weekend for youth groups of all types from the middle of August thru June. Girl Scout troops, Boys Scouts, church youth groups, park districts - ANY organized youth group.

A typical weekend for your troop would be very much like down to a short orientation meeting and a real ranch supper. Then, down to the barn for an introduction to horsemanship by one of our ranchhands. (This instruction session is for safety purposes and is required attendance for everyone.) Next, a good old-fashioned tractor-drawn hayride followed by some free time for the youngsters to purchase souvenirs or play in the game room. Bedtime is at 10:00 on Friday night and 9:30 on Saturday night. Lights out and quiet at 11:00. Please bring your own sleeping bag, towels, pillows and all bathroom articles.

Saturday's activities will be scheduled for your group and starts with a hearty breakfast around 8am. There will be one or two horseback rides on Saturday, swimming in season, a nature hike, fossil hunting, horse activities and many other fun things for the girls and boys to enjoy. On Saturday evening, there will be country line dancing, Bingo, another hayride, and campfire songs around the bonfire. Sunday morning will be spent going on another ride (if you didn't have two rides on Saturday), swimming, hiking, packing and cleaning up the dorm. After a wholesome Sunday brunch and activities, it will be time to load up your gear and a bunch of tired scouts and head for home. You can plan on a departure time of 12:00 or 12:30.

In winter instead of swimming we go cross-country skiing, tubing down the snow-covered hills and, of course, we ride horses all winter long.

Lodging is provided in our carpeted and electrically heated dormitories. Our dorms are complete with bunkbeds and adjoining bathrooms with individual shower stalls and flush toilets. All this for a very low price! Our charges are listed below:

Make your reservation today for this different and exciting weekend.  Pick up a video at your Girl Scout council office. We'd be glad to show you what dude ranching is all about.
