Cub Scouts

Is your scout going to be a rising Tiger, rising Wolf, rising Bear, or rising Webelos or Arrow of Light? Cub Scout camps all have an overarching theme. It’s Off to the Races at the District Day and Twilight camps. Find one near you! Or get ready for a mysterious week at Day Camp at Camp Snyder. The theme this year is ???. Ready for the next step up? Sign up for a short overnight camp at Camp Snyder’s Resident Weekends.

Are your rising Webelos and AOL dens looking for a weeklong adventure? Camp Ross is Goshen Scout Reservation’s dedicated overnight Webelos camp. The theme this summer is Sherlock Ross: The Case of the Disappearing Camps. Help the camp staff solve the case!

Scouts BSA

Is your scout bridging into a Scouts BSA Troop? There are plenty of options. Camps Bowman, Marriott, and Olmsted at Goshen Scout Reservation offer a variety of dining options, unique and favorite Merit Badges and activities, and exciting programs for new scouts, older scouts, and all the scouts in between. Finish out your summer with Camp Catoctin BSA’s expert Merit Badge counselors in mid-August.

Is your Scout not able to attend camp with their Troop? Are they looking for a second week? Check out our options for individual scouts: Goshen runs Provisional Camp each week and Camp Snyder has Scout Specialty Week with both overnight and day camp options.

Older Scouts, Venturers, & Sea Scouts

Need more adventure for older scouts, Venturers, and Sea Scouts? Sign your unit up for a backpacking trek or a river trek at Goshen’s Lenhok’sin High Adventure. Individuals can find adventure with a High Adventure Base Trip to a National or local High Adventure with a council contingent run by the NCAC High Adventure Committee. Order of the Arrow members should also make note of GOAT, the Goshen OA Trail Crew.

And of course, for those ages 14 and up who just cannot get enough summer camp, there is always the option to join summer camp staff!

There are so many options that all this is only a brief summary! View the 2023 NCAC Summer Camp Guide for details and pictures on all the possibilities for your summer. Get outdoors, have fun, and #adventureon!

Troop 1920’s three new Eagles, and its’ Significant Number

August 9, 2022 by Cassidy P

On February 1, 2019, girls were officially allowed to join the Boy Scouts of America’s Scouts BSA program.

Since then, there have been 3 female eagle scouts in the Seneca District and all 3 of them have come from our troop!

For our troop, we chose troop number 1920 because it was the year women got the right to vote in the US, and as a brand new girl’s troop, we thought it was only fitting.

These 3 scouts, Bethany Hurt, Elora West, and Samantha Vidas have just been awarded their Eagle awards and we couldn’t be more proud!

They have done so much for our troop and the people around them from teaching another scout the square knot, to being senior patrol leaders. We are so proud of everything they’ve done and we hope they continue to help people in their daily lives as adults.

Troop 492B’s First Eagle Scout!

June 29, 2022 by Laura Browning

Troop 492B, founded in 2019, just had its first Eagle Scout pass his Board of Review on June 17th! Troop 492B, part of the White Oak District, is a small, but very active troop in Rockville, MD, and has earned JTE Gold every year since it started.

Michael Browning joined the BSA as the small troop was forming, and is a founding member. Michael’s Eagle Project was a renovation of his church’s outdoor sanctuary area. He ranked up to Eagle with 42 merit badges and numerous other awards. Michael’s BoR was just 10 days after his 14th birthday, so he has many more adventures planned for his scouting career. This week he is off at NYLT, and his troop – and their linked girls’ troop, 492G – will be heading off to Camp Olmstead at Goshen Scout Reservation at the end of July. He has already signed up for Jamboree 2023 – and is working hard to get as many of the rest of Troops 492 to go with him.
