Council News
Imagine 2024
On Tuesday, March 30th, the first of several branding projects that will take place over the course of the next several years has started. Work on the roof of the dining hall at Camp Rokilio has commenced and is in the process of getting a new green metal roof. As roofs meet their life expectancy at the camps we will continue to replace them with green standing seam metal roofs that require less maintenance and have a life expectancy far superior to traditional shingles.

If you would like to weigh in on the new color palette for the camp facilities and/or the amenities that you believe that the Council Camp's Campsites should include, click on the link(s) below to provide input:

Scouting Goes Mobile with Scoutbook

Two of the BSA’s priorities in the last few years have been ensuring that we offer Scouts fresh, new experiences that instill the values of Scouting, and providing unit leaders with the tools, training, and support they need to deliver the kind of life-changing experiences Scouting is capable of providing.
