Scouts BSA Summer Camp

Summer camp is one of the most important experiences Scouting has to offer. It's where life skills come to life. Through hands-on adventures, group challenges, and time in nature, Scouts develop teamwork, self-reliance, and problem-solving.

The impact goes beyond the campfire. Scouts who attend summer camp typically earn more merit badges, advance higher in rank, and step into leadership roles within their Troop. More importantly, they return home with stronger values, greater confidence, and friendships that last a lifetime.

The Garden State Council believes every Scout deserves a high-quality summer camp experience, and we've taken a major step to deliver on that commitment. GSC is proud to partner with the Washington Crossing Council, naming Ockanickon Scout Reservation as our preferred resident camp for Scouts BSA Troops, this summer and for years to come.
Ockanickon Scout Reservation brings outstanding facilities, a rich program, and a tradition of excellence that perfectly aligns with our mission. Together, we're raising the bar for what summer camp can be for our Scouting community.

This summer is sure to be filled with adventure, learning, and lasting memories for our Scouts!
