Camp Scholarship

Summer camp is more than fun for Scouts. It instills self-confidence in a child through challenging activities, new experiences, and developing relationships with others.

Many families need financial support to send their Scout to camp. To assist these families the Northern New Jersey Council has established a Camp Scholarship Fund. Giving kids the opportunity to get out into nature is an incredible gift. You can make a Scout’s dream come true with a Camp Scholarship Fund contribution.

“I remember my first day of camp. I was nervous and excited! The nerves didn’t last long but the excitement did. Every day was a new adventure! We cooked, sang and swam together and even had some friendly competitions. When I look back at my childhood, some of my best memories come from my days at camp.”

The Northern New Jersey Council Operates five summer camps. Two Scout BSA Resident Camps, No-Be-Bo-Sco and Turrell, one Scouts BSA Trekking Camps, Floodwood Mountain Reservation, and one Resident Camp, Lewis and one Cub Day Camp, Yaw Paw. Our camps have thousands of day campers, troop overnights, council activities and training throughout the year.

It costs more than $500 per day to cover the cost of upkeep, upgrades safety equipment and much more. The needed repairs, additions and modernization ensure the safety and comfort of our campers.
