U.S. Boy Scout Camps

 

I created a new POI file for US based Boy Scout camps. I know there are camps missing, but I was able to start with 330 camps. If anybody has info ion a missing/wrong camp, please provide me with the needed info and I will update -

Thanks Norm, I hope to have a new list available next week. I started to email local councils (doing it in groups of 80) and I've been getting feedback from a few of them already. Those along with a few other notes will be in the next release.

More Scout Camps in new York

I have sent an excel list to Jaygorman on May 10th for him to look at. It includes the sites shown below (all verified with Google Earth, Camp web sites and Council web sites). I have found that both the National BSA site and local council sites are very inaccurate. That is due to a lot of camps being combined and/ or closing. As an assistent scoutmaster, we find that there are more things for the boys to do than join Scouts, therefore the camps get closed due to lack of use.

more scout camps

I've been a little behind making all the updates. I've received quite a few from many people. Work and end of the year scouting events including jambo prep has sidetracked me. There will be an updated file coming very soon with the updates.
Thanks to quite a few people that have sent me updates.

"It's not where you start, but where you end up." Where am I and what am I doing in this hand basket?

Philmont

That's an important one.

Philmont

Thanks for this camp. I probably did not add it originally since I did not have a street name/address. However, I did add it now.

Updated file

Thanks to all the feedback I've gotten. I updated the file as of tonight with the latest updates. I've had great feedback and additions from local councils, scouts, scouters, and people that have/do use the camps. I hope to send out a note to the next group of councils soon to verify the next round of camps.

Los Angeles County - Camp Josepho Correction

Camp Josepho Correction

Thanks for the info. I'm just getting back from 2 weeks of camping. I will update the file as soon as I get situated.

Scout camp main gate

Most of POI's point to center of camp but how to enter the camping area. The best way to do is set the POI point at the Main Gate just tiny off the road. This way, I can follow the GPS mapping to arrive the point of enter and can seen the Scout sign to enter.

Have a great time there. My son went to the last one and we are sending 7 of our boys this year.

jambo

Thanks, this is the first one my son and I are attending. If any of your boys are into patch trading, we are in subcamp 3 (troop 347). We are one of the last very small councils around and did a one time limited run on trading patches. Have them ask for Nathaniel.

I sent a contact request to Jaygorman, but never heard a response. I can take over this file if nobody else wants to. I don't get to a lot of the camps, but would be willing to update it from anyone who has some new ones to add.
