Summer Camp - A Week of Adventure!

Every summer we attend a week-long summer camp.  During the week, Scouts get to do activities ranging from rifle shooting to sailing, and plenty of Merit Badges.  Watch this video about Council's camp, Resica Falls Scout Reservation, home to over 4,200 acres of pristine wilderness in the Pocono Mountains! 

Where We Meet

Since 1941, we have called Sassamansville, PA our home​.   We keep almost all of our gear at our chartered organization, complete with a trailer, shed and closet space.  Scouting activities require a lot of gear, and we believe in having everything we need to safely enjoy the outdoors!
