Scout Deposits Due February 15, 2019

We collect a $50 per Scout deposit to hold your spot for summer camp. That deposit is due by February 15, 2019. After that date troops can still add Scouts, but will be required to pay the $50 when they add a Scout. There is no penalty for adding Scouts after February 15, 2019. Invoices will be sent this week with the $50 deposit total. The late fee takes affect starting May 16, 2019. Starting March 1 we will be adjusting your Scout number to match the number of deposits paid.
2019 Leader Guide and Merit Badge Schedule Available

The 2019 Leader Guide and Merit Badge Schedule is now completed online. New this year the guide is a Google Document, which means we can update it instantaneously, rather then having to publish and upload a new version for updates. You can find the Leader Guide and Merit Badge Schedule here.
Eagle Academy

Don’t let your Scouts miss out on Bashore’s Eagle Academy! Held August 4-10, 2019. Eagle Academy is a great way for Star and Life Scouts to get a jump on a few Eagle required merit badges and enjoy another week at camp. Space is limited to the first 25 applicants.
2019 STEM Program

We are excited to continue our STEM programs for older Scouts! The morning program is called Build It! and the afternoon program is called Film It! Scouts can choose one or the other, and we really think they will enjoy what we have planned. Read more about them in the leaders guide . 
Camperships Deadline is March 15

The deadline for submitting Campership applications, March 15, 2019, is quickly approaching. Camperships exist to help Scouts with a financial need attend a Pennsylvania Dutch Council summer camp. Don’t let a lack of funds keep your Scouts from attending camp this summer. Camperships are given based upon need and funds available. To apply, fill out and submit the Pennsylvania Dutch Council Campership Form found on our website or contact the Council Service Center to have one sent to you.
