What's New
|
It's really coming!!!
I have just received word that our proposal to construct a new 20 head shower house has been approved! It is for campers and leaders, and will be handicap accessible.
The facility will have 20 individual private locking shower rooms instead of the old gang style showers!
The work on taking down the old shower house will begin right away! We will salvage the water heaters, copper, fixtures, basically anything reusable.
Then the structure will be razed and the ground leveled to prepare for the concrete foundation install, and subsequent construction.
It will be completed in time for our 2013 summer season!! |
 We are now accepting applications for the 2013 season!
Don't let this opportunity slide by. Spend your summer living and working on beautiful Chautauqua Lake. All positions include FREE room and board!
If you would like more information or would like to apply online, please check out our Staff link on the left or Click Here to email Joe DeBiso.
Training is provided by our directors or BSA National Camping School. Click HERE for additional information for area directors.

Another New and Exciting Program Option
|
|
 Scouts participating in the older scout program this summer will be rappelling in Panama Rocks Park as part of their program.
The Park consists of 12 acres of an Erupted Paleozoic Seashore originating Over 300 Million Years Ago. It is a Ridge of Quartz Conglomerate Rock, which was Carved and Shaped by a Glacier, and is All Set Amid An Ancient Forest |

FREE Camping!!!

That's right... Free!
Effective immediately, boy scout troops from our council are welcome to weekend tent camp at Merz or Elk Lick for free, as long as you agree to do a 2 hour service project for the camp.
You must submit the normal paperwork to reserve a site in advance so the ranger has lead time to contact you about what projects are on his list. Click Here for more information
