Nature hike got a whole new meaning when a San Diego Cub Scout troop wandered onto a nude beach recently.



The troop was hiking in Torrey Pines State Beach in California last month when they "encountered some individuals who were inappropriately dressed," according to a statement from Karl Shelton, the camping director for a San Diego chapter of the Boy Scouts of America.



Local news reports identified the beach the troop had mistakenly ventured onto as Black's Beach, a naturalist or nude beach located below the Torrey Pines bluffs.



The group of scouts, parents and adult volunteer leaders "quickly rerouted to protect the youth," Shelton said in his statement.



The Council and Pack leadership met with parents after the hike and concluded that "proper protocol had been observed and appropriate steps were taken in this matter," the statement said.



Parents of troop members could not immediately be reached for comment by USA TODAY Network.

If it was a nude beach, why was their dress (or lack thereof) inappropriate?

[mbcdefg]

"Mistakenly" ... Lolz.

That's what I'm wondering. The children's accidental presence might be inappropriate, but not the lack of clothing on the designated nude beach.

Can they at least get a badge for that?

I knew it was Black's! I've only been once but I feel like it was harder to get to than that makes it sound.

Its a total PITA to get to because you either have to wait until low tide and hoof it along the coastline or hike down that narrow ass 'trail' cut into the side of the cliff.  I'm betting that the scout leader knew exactly where he was taking them!  You don't accidentally end up at Blacks Beach!

Can't breathe from laughing.

Yeah, Blacks is well known for being a nude beach and not that easy to "accidentally" stumble upon.

OMG too funny! It reminds me of the time in HS I was on a date and the guy let me choose the beach. Not knowing Sandy Hook well (despite it being 10 minutes away from home) I accidentally took him to the nude beach. Pretty sure he didn't think it was accidental since I never heard from him again!

However, several troop members spoke with our reporter.

"Best. Troop. Outing. Ever." said 12 year old Jeremy Miles.

"There were like, totally, boobs!" commented 11 year old Michael Smith.

IDK, I've only ever seen naked men at this beach.

Yet another reminder of how I ain't shit.

More specifically, old men with wrinkly asses wearing shoes, socks and a windbreaker.
Black's Beach is not the place to check out hot locals.

Hey! I've been there! Lol. I only went topless though. 

I didn't even do that.  I saw all the old guys and hiked my covered ass back up that hillside.

Sounds like someone got punk'd. Several things seem off in this report.

Cub Scouts travel in "packs", not troops. They are younger boys in grades 1st- 5th grades; the oldest cubs would generally be 10.

I was under the impression Black's is populated primarily by gay men.

And "like, totally, boobs!? What 11 year old boy talks like a character from the 1995 hit Clueless?

I am laughing so hard right now... ttt was just making up what the kids would have said if the reporters could have talked with them.
