Summer Camp Planning for Bear and Webelos Den Leaders

September 20, 2024 by Goshen Scout Reservation

Bear and Webelos Den Leaders! Now that you are in your role of Den Leader to incredible Bear and Webelos Scouts, you and your Den are invited to attend Summer Camp at Camp Ross at Goshen Scout Reservation this coming summer!

Camp Ross is home to a week-long summer camp experience just for rising (incoming) Webelos and rising Arrow of Light Scouts. Here, they’ll take part in some amazing outdoor adventures, including swimming, boating, fishing, archery, BB shooting, hiking, and outdoor skills development (to name a few)!

You are invited to start planning your Summer 2025 Adventures on Monday, October 14, 2024 at 7:00 pm. We’ll review “A Day in the Life” at Camp Ross, walk through the registration process, and answer any questions you may have.

As you are learning, the Cub Scout Program provides Scouts with the opportunity to learn about being a member of their family, how to take an active role in serving their neighborhood, and living by the ideals of the Scouting Program. At Camp Ross, our Scouts become members of a Camp Community with Scouts from across the Council. They meet new friends, make lasting memories, and take critical steps in learning about the next part of their Scouting journey: Scouts BSA.

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.
