Our new collaboration with Washington Crossing Council

Summer camp is a critically important mission delivery experience in Scouting. Scouts who attend summer camp foster needed life skills like teamwork, self-reliance, and problem-solving through hands-on experiences with nature, new activities, and group challenges. Scouts who attend summer camp typically earn more merit badges, advance higher in rank, and take on more leadership roles in a Troop.
Summer camp provides a setting where Scouts can reinforce core values by living them daily, build confidence through accomplishing new tasks, and form strong friendships and lasting memories. The Garden State Council believes all Scouts should participate in a high-quality summer camp experience and that’s why the Council is partnering with the Washington Crossing Council. Through this collaboration, the GSC has named Scout Reservation as its preferred resident camp for Scouts BSA Troops this summer and for years to come. This partnership strengthens our commitment to delivering the very best outdoor experiences for our Scouts.
Ockanickon Scout Reservation offers outstanding facilities, a rich program, and a tradition of excellence that will provide our youth with the adventures and opportunities that only summer camp can provide. We look forward to seeing our Scouts thrive at camp this summer and to the many benefits this partnership will bring to our Scouting community.
