Ask anyone what they think of when you say "Boy Scouts" and the vast majority will mention camping and the outdoors. As a Scout leader, you have an easy opportunity to provide a first class, unforgettable camping experience to your Scouts by attending one of the Atlanta Area Council's summer camps.
Scouting comes alive at summer camp, and there's no better time than the summer of 2016 to come home for camp and celebrate the Atlanta Area Council's 100 Year Anniversary. With two nationally acclaimed Scout camps to choose from, your summer adventure has never been easier to achieve. Our camps have something for everyone, even you!
