Goshen Vets: Older Scout Adventures

by

Offered to Scouts at Camp Bowman, Camp Marriott, and Camp Olmsted, the Goshen Vets program is Goshen’s sampler plate program for Older Scouts. For Scouts that have done most of the Merit Badges offered at camp, Vets is an all day opportunity for those seeking an extra challenge. Each week, the Scouts signed up for Vets create their own schedule from a variety of activities offered all around the lake.

Based out of Camp Bowman, Vets is recommended for Scouts ages 14 and up. Activity options range from competitions between Vets in a chili cook off or a canoe race, exploring Goshen with day hikes or visiting outposts with a Taste of Lenhok’sin, or just hanging out with new friends on an overnighter.
