Cub and Webelos Resident Camps
The Curtis S. Read Scout Reservation hosts two fantastic camping experiences for Cubs each summer. Cub Resident Camp is for all Wolf, Bear and Webelos. Webelos Camp is for boys entering their first or second year as a Webelos. Both camps feature exciting programs that include outdoor education, archery, boating, swimming, hiking and crafts. 

Boys spend the week in two person canvas wall tents on platforms and eat prepared meals in a dining facility. Scouts come home with a greater appreciation of the outdoors, new friends and a new sense of confidence in themselves.

The Curtis S. Read Scout Reservation has become one of America’s premier Scout Camps. This picturesque 1,000 acre property is located north of Lake George, New York in the Adirondack Park. The property boasts excellent facilities and a staff that is dedicated to ensuring that each Scout has the best week at camp possible.

Webelos Camp
All Webelos Scouts and graduating Bears are encouraged to attend Webelos Camp at Camp Buckskin in the Read Scout Reservation. This week-long sleep away experience features archery, campfires, hiking, camping skills, fishing, boating and more. The hike to the peak of Mt. Stevens is one the week's highlights. Each boy learns a tremendous amount about both Scouting and himself in the pristine setting of the Adirondack Mountains. Our top-notch staff ensures that there is never a moment without activity during a boy's stay at camp. All boys live in two man tents on a platform and are served excellent meals in our dining hall. Not only will the Scouts go home with a great experience at Read, they will also have advancements and new friends!
