This is a rain or shine event and lunch will be provided. Can’t wait to see you there!

April 11 – Registration for Cub Scout Resident Camp Week 2 (June 21-23) at Camp Tuckahoe has now exceeded capacity, and has been closed for further sign-ups.

February 29 – Registration for Boy Scout Summer Camp Week #1 (June 24-30) at Hidden Valley and Webelos Resident #1 (June 25-29) at Camp Tuckahoe have now exceeded capacity, and those camp sessions are now closed to further sign-ups.

Units wishing to be placed on a waiting list for these closed sessions at Hidden Valley and Tuckahoe will be able to do so, but are strongly encouraged to consider making a reservation for another camp session. If space becomes available in those sessions currently closed to additional sign-ups, units will be transferred into the now-closed sessions in the order their reservation was received.

For more information on summer camp reservations at either Hidden Valley or Tuckahoe, we encourage you to visit the “Camping” section of our website.  It is possible that other summer camp sessions will continue to fill up in the weeks ahead and we strongly recommend that units make firm reservations as soon as possible to avoid being shut out of the camp session your unit is planning to attend.
