The summer camp program at Seven Ranges Scout Reservation delivers the adventure, fun, and activities that are promised to every youth that joins Scouting. While at camp Scouts put into action the skills that they have practiced year-round within their own troop. Summer camp is the proving ground for the “preferred method” of Scout camping: a troop operating under its own leadership.
The leadership lessons, character development, and vocational exploration youth will discover have their greatest impact in the outdoor classroom. Traditions found only at Seven Ranges crystallize these experiences and transform them into lifelong memories. It is only here that the pictures in the handbook come to life as youth seek the promised adventure of Scouting.
Registration Information
2024 Scouts BSA Summer Camp fees are based on when full payment is received. Adult pricing is full week or partial week (Sun-Wed or Wed-Sat). All registrations require a $50 non-refundable deposit.
Units also need to make a campsite deposit of $150. Units have the opportunity to reserve the campsite and week for the upcoming summer. Although we make every attempt to keep units in their selected site, the camp reserves the right to move your unit if you are not maximizing the site capacity, and the site is needed to house a larger unit.
- The unit leader registers all youth and adults for summer camp. For example, youth must pay their fees to the troop leadership, and then the troop registers and pays for the youth. Participants do not register directly with the Buckeye Council, unless they are a scout registering to be a part of the provisional troop.
- Webelos Crossovers should be registered as a Webelos Crossover, instead of Youth, to receive the $10 discount. There is no longer an extension for Webelos Crossovers as the traditional Early deadline has been extended to 3/31 at 11:59pm.
When merit badge registration opens, an associated program fee will be added to the troop’s camp registration fees. For example, youth participating in Shotgun Merit Badge will owe $10 for ammunition and targets.
Below you will find the fee chart. All of these fees below must be paid in full to receive the discount. So want to save the most amount of money? Pay in full the dates below. If you are not paid in full, you will be charged the regular price.
There are a number of ways to save on Buckeye Council Camping events this summer! See below for details:
- Sibling Discount: Sending multiple Scouts to camp this summer? Use coupon code SIBLING on each Scout from the same household when registering to save $10/scout.
- Popcorn Certificates: All popcorn certificates from 2023 can be used for a 2024 Summer Camp! Physical certificates must be submitted to the Buckeye Council via mail or in person.
- NYLT Discount: Do you have a Scouts, BSA youth attending NYLT this summer? Save $50 on NYLT by using coupon code SUMMERCAMP when registering for NYLT. (note: Scouts, BSA youth only for youth attending both Buckeye Council Summer Camp and Buckeye Council NYLT).
Attend a 2nd Week of Camp for Half Price! Scouts can come back for another week of summer camp and pay only half the price! Scouts can attend with another friend in camp or attend with our Provisional Troop.
Provisional Scouts
Scouts who are unable to attend camp with their troop, or are looking to spend a 2nd week at camp, can join our provisional troop. Adult leadership will be provided for a provisional troop for every week of camp in 2024 to ensure all scouts can attend Seven Ranges. Below are a couple of key details to note:
- While a parent may register a Scout to attend with the provisional troop, his/her home troop must register them for merit badges on the appropriate merit badge registration date. Please notify Kate Macy at Kate.macy@scouting.org with the name of who will need access for merit badge registration.
