2024 Goshen Updates: Internet

February 16, 2024 by Goshen Scout Reservation

You heard that right! The Goshen Scout Reservation will begin updating its Internet Services in Spring 2024. Internet updates will be taking place over two phases:

Phase One: Fiberoptic installed at Camps Ross, Baird (Lenhok’sin High Adventure), and Marriott

This spring, fiberoptic internet will be installed at Camp Ross, Camp Baird, and Camp Marriott in collaboration with BARC Connections. Wi-Fi will be available at the Admin Building, Leader Lounge, and Dining Hall (Ross only) for participant use.

Phase Two: Fiberoptic internet installed at Camps Olmsted, Bowman, and Post

National Capital Area Council and Goshen Scout Reservation are exploring several options to expand internet services to Camp Olmsted, Camp Bowman, and Camp Post for the near future. Verizon Wi-Fi Hotspots will still be available at the Admin Buildings and Leader Lounges for Summer 2024.

Why are we installing fiberoptic? Not only will fiberoptic improve internet services for Camp Staff and Administration, it will also allow for many adult leaders who need to stay in contact with their workplace to do so while they’re at camp. Although we will still encourage summer camp being an “unplugged” experience, we’re looking forward to continuing to improve Goshen operations, facilities, and program offerings.

Meet your 2024 Goshen Camp Directors!

January 10, 2024 by Goshen Scout Reservation

We are pleased to announce the team of Camp Directors for Goshen Scout Reservation for Summer 2024.

If you ever have any questions about camp or the programs we provide, please visit www.gotogoshen.org to get in touch with your camp director.

Elisabeth Warren, Goshen Scout Reservation Director

2024 will be Elisabeth’s 8th summer at Goshen and second year as Reservation Director. Previously, Elisabeth worked at Lenhok’sin High Adventure for six summers in a variety of positions, including Camp Director and Program Director. As a Venture Scout, she was a camper at Camp Bowman for many summers. Elisabeth is a graduate of Dickinson College where she studied Environmental Science. She is very excited to share her love and passion for Goshen with you!

Henry Hassett, Camp Bowman Director

Henry has been active in Scouting since 2008, when he joined his local Cub Scout pack. After attending Camps Ross and PMI, he crossed over into Scouts BSA in 2013 and made many amazing memories at Camp Bowman over seven consecutive seasons. Henry joined Bowman staff in 2019 as an instructor in the Culturecraft area, helping Scouts learn to be good citizens of their communities and the world. He served Bowman most recently as Camp Commissioner and fulfilled his lifelong dream of driving the UTV to every corner of camp. He is honored to be part of a long tradition of serving Scouts and Scouting, and he can’t wait to see Scouts at camp having just as much fun as he did!

Joe Costner, Camp Marriott Director

Joe is excited to return to Goshen for his 10th summer and 2nd as camp director.  Prior to working at camp Joe camped at Olmsted, Marriott, and Snyder and also attended Philmont, Seabase, and the centennial Jamboree.  Well versed in what scouting has to offer and passionate about camp, he is always looking for ways to improve program as well as the overall camp experience to ensure that Marriott stays the place to be.

Bailey Ruhl, Camp Olmsted Director

This summer will be Bailey’s seventh year on the Goshen staff and her first as the Olmsted Camp Director! During her time at camp, Bailey has served as Business Manager, Scoutcraft and Trailshead Area Director, as well as working in shooting sports. Bailey lives and attends college in Virginia. Her fondest Goshen memories involve watching scouts and her staff learn new skills and overcome challenges. Bailey is looking forward to continuing this tradition in her new position of responsibility along with having the opportunity to work one-one-one with the leaders bringing the troops to camp.

Drew Goshorn, Camp Ross Director

Drew first attended Ross as a Webelos Scout in 2011 and returned in 2014 as a den chief with his younger brother. The following year he returned as a CIT and has been working at camp ever since. Drew spent his first 5 years working at Ross’s Nature Center becoming the Area Director in 2019. He was a part of our Webelos Homecamping staff during Covid before becoming Program Director in 2021. This will be Drew’s 10th Summer on staff and 2nd summer as Camp Director. When Drew is not at camp, he is finishing his History Degree from Southern New Hampshire University and works as a Substitute Teacher in Richmond, Virginia. Drew is excited to return and continue creating an amazing program for your scouts, and hopes to give them a great summer and introduction to scouting.

Dan Leichtling, Lenhok’sin High Adventure Director

This is Daniel’s 19th summer at Goshen and 5th at Lenhok’sin. He started as a junior staffer at Camp PMI in 2006 and earned his Eagle Scout in 2008. Earning an Associate Degree at Montgomery College and then a BA in History at University of Maryland, College Park, he has spent the last few years working as a substitute teacher when not trekking and teaching Scouts at Goshen. He is most looking forward to assembling and preparing an amazing staff that can provide Troops and Crews with an outstanding experience on the trail.
