Short-term Camping Opportunities



As we know, boys join Scouting to go camping and spend time in the outdoors. To help support units deliver the outdoor program the Narragansett Council owns and operates eight fine camping facilities. They are:


Buck Hill Reservation - Pascoag, RI


Each camp has a variety of facilities and Campmaster Corps that will assist you in providing a great outdoor program for your boys.


This summer we are pleased to announce that Buck Hill Reservation will be open to units in July in August for the first time in many years. We are also pleased to announce that we have added five great new campsites along the shore of the pond. In the future we also hope to renovate the old commissary building to accommodate co-ed groups for overnight camping.


Right now you can reserve cabins and tent sites at our eight great camps through August 31, 2008.


We will open reservations for September 2008 through August 2009 according to the following schedule:


April 28, 2008 - Narragansett Council Commissioner Award Units
May 12, 2008 - All Narragansett Council Units
May 26, 2008 - All Out-of-Council Units
