Boy Scout Resident Camp is a long-term camping experience for all young men in the Boy Scout Program. It is designed to teach independence and interdependence among scouts while at the same time provide opportunities for them to learn leadership and teamwork as they live the patrol method and work on advancement and merit badge requirements.
The Heart of America Council offers three long-term camping programs for Boy Scouts. The Theodore Naish Scout Reservation offers a six-day camping program, along with opportunities for young men to be active in the Order of the Arrow. The H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation is a nine day Boy Scout camping experience with the opportunity for a young man to become a member the Tribe of Mic-O-Say after he has experienced three years of long term summer camp. The Council operates a five-day Boy Scout Camping experience at Rotary Youth Camp on Lake Jacomo. This program offers the Boy Scout camping program to young men who have a disability, which prevents them from attending either the Naish or Bartle Scout Reservations. Both honored camping programs are a part of Rotary Camp. CLICK HERE to be directed to Forms related to Boy Scout Camp.
