2019 Summer Camp  Brochures are here!


Attention all Units attending Summer Camp,

Why the New February 1, 2019 Camp Payment Deadline is so Important!

Last summer some weeks of summer camp were overbooked. We heard your concerns and looked at how other Councils prevent this problem from occurring. New for the summer of 2019, $50 per person youth or adult attending Cub Scout Resident Camp and $60 per person youth or adult attending Webelos Resident Camp or Scouts BSA Resident Camp is due on February 1, 2019.

Unit summer camp attendance numbers will be based on and adjusted to the number of paid deposits received from each unit on February 1, 2019

All campsite space and weekly camp availability for each session of camp will be based on the number of paid deposits received on February 1, 2019.

Webelos Resident Camp Week 1 is currently full and closed. Webelos Resident Camp Week 1 could reopen if additional space becomes available after February 1, 2019.

Scouts BSA Troops will be able to start signing up scouts for Merit Badge classes on February 1 based on the number of deposits paid on February 1, 2019.

For more info, please visit the Summer Camp Reservations Guidelines page on our website.
