Diamond Jubilee Collectibles and Clothing

Preorders for Diamond Jubilee hats and polos have closed, but we still have photo books and patches available for sale. Inventory will be available to attendees of the Highland Games at Cachalot on October 9; we can also arrange to ship patches or books to you at no additional cost. Please check out Issue 6 of The Spouter for more information.

A Brief History of Cachalot

We premiered our new history documentary "A Brief History of Cachalot", on March 28th, 2021. This video, which covers Cachalot's first seventy-five years, can be watched below or over on our YouTube channel.

If you missed the live premiere, don't worry: you can watch the video over on YouTube itself, and replay the live chat that went alongside the premiere. This video will be a permanent part of our collection, so feel free to watch or re-watch on your own schedule.

This is just the first of several events we have planned for 2021 to mark Cachalot's Diamond Jubilee, hopefully including an expanded Homecoming event out at Cachalot later this year. For information on these events will be shared on this page, and on our social media outlets, including our Facebook page, our Facebook discussion group, our Instagram feed, and our Twitter feed. You can also sign up for email notifications.

Tell Us About Yourself

We'd also greatly appreciate it if you would fill out this quick questionnaire and tell us a little bit about your time at camp. If you'd like to receive notifications of 75th Anniversary-related happenings in your email inbox instead of checking back on our social media channels, you can (optionally) provide us with contact information on that questionnaire. You can opt out of the email at any time.

We Want Your Camp Stories

In the seventy-five years that have passed since 1946, thousands of Scouts, Scouters, and many of their family members have passed through its gates, hiked its trails, camped among its forest, fished its ponds, and sung with joy around many campfires.

If you are reading this, you‘re almost certainly one of them.

Without those people, without you, Cachalot would be just another place. The story of Cachalot is not complete without the stories of the people who camp there. Your stories.

We‘re asking you to share those stories: your memories of Cachalot, your memories of other people at Cachalot; even the stories of what your time at camp has enabled or inspired you to do. These stories will become a part of the body of knowledge we‘ve been accumulating about Cachalot since the Association was founded in 2004.

Send your stories to us at iwasthere@cachalotalumni.org. You don't have to be a professional writer; you can be as brief or as long-winded as you like. If you would prefer for us to not use your name when re-sharing your stories, or to use only part of your name or your initials, just let us know in the email. If you have photos or documents from your time at camp that you are willing to share, you can also use that same email address and we will figure out the best way to get copies to us.
