Welcome to McNeil Scout Ranch at Peaceful Valley!
Summer camp is much more than earning merit badges. It gives youth an opportunity to try new things, make new friends and develop new talents all in a supervised environment.
Troops will participate in a traditional merit badge camp program with quality food prepared for you in the Kephart Dining Hall. Tents and platforms are provided. Specialty programs include an outstanding first year camper program, horseback riding, heated pool, mountain biking, rock climbing, McNeil Scout Ranch Adventure for older Scouts and so much more.
Resident camp is for registered Scouts BSA members who are 11-17 years old and their adult leaders.
