Reservations may be made at the council office. Summer camp should be the highlight of the year. Camp Portaferry opens on July 5 for four weeks of Boy Scout Camp and one week of Cub Scout Resident Camp. Camperships will be available from the council on a limited first come first served basis. Units are encouraged to find sources for camperships within their local communities however.
Many community organizations are happy to help kids go to camp.
They just need to be asked. Also, some units hold special fund raisers for Scouts to earn their way to camp. We need to find ways to get Scouts to camp. We know that the benefits are well worth the effort. School Night is the single most important event of the year for Scouting.
