Summer Camps

 

Summer camp should be one of the highlights of a unit's activities.

 

The Greater St. Louis Area Council conducts a variety of programs for Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers.  Summer camp programs are held at Camp Lewallen, Pine Ridge Scout Camp, Camp May and Nagel Base at Beaumont Scout Reservation and Swift Base, Camp Sakima and Camp Famous Eagle at S bar F Scout Ranch.

MAKING RESERVATIONS FOR SUMMER CAMP
For each of the summer camping programs offered by the council, a reservation must be made with the Camping Department.  A sign-up lottery for the Cub Scout programs is held in early December with sign-ups available afterwards, as space permits.

 

Annually, we have held a sign-up lottery for the Boy Scout camp in October to assign weeks and campsites with open sign-up available thereafter.  The Boy Scout summer camp lottery is held on or around Oct. 15 each year.

Venture crews from the council can sign up for the Swift Base between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31.  After Jan. 1, Venture crews from outside the council or older Scouts from the council may sign up for Swift Base.

Contact the Camping Department for additional information.

 

 

Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers have the opportunity not only to enjoy camping and the great outdoors but to gather life-long memories and learn valuable life skills.​

 

 

The Annual Health and Medical Record was released in December 2008, and its use became mandatory on

January 1, 2010. The latest update to the record consolidates all records from the National Council and the

three national high-adventure base forms, enabling a single medical form to be used across all BSA activities.

The new form should be phased in immediately as it renders the old forms obsolete.

 

The Annual Health and Medical Record is required for participation in all Scouting events, including day and

resident camps and high-adventure bases. It should be updated no less than annually.
