Upcoming Events

Do You Rendezvous?

There’s been a date change for this fall’s “Sherman’s Creek Rendezvous” that we wanted to let everyone know about.  All units in the council can now plan to “Rendezvous” at Hidden Valley from October 12-14, which is one weekend later than originally planned.  This change was approved by the Executive Board to avoid conflicting with Penn State’s homecoming football game against Northwestern on Saturday, October 5.

Planning for this event is well underway and the weekend is sure to be action-packed for Scouts of all ages.  Please update your unit’s calendar for the new dates because your unit won’t want to miss out on this “Rendezvous.”

Hidden Valley – A Great Place to Camp

Situated on 830+ acres near Loysville, PA, Hidden Valley has been in operation since 1927. With an abundance of facilities for both summer and year-round camping opportunities for your unit’s use, Hidden Valley is a great place to camp all year long.

With a year-round heated and air-conditioned dining hall with seating for 300 and nine cabins of various sizes available for rental, Hidden Valley also features a shower building that’s open year-round along with a well-stocked trading post. Sherman’s Creek runs through Hidden Valley, providing lots of great fishing spots for everyone.

Boy Scout summer campers will be able to select from a wide variety of merit badge offerings, with older Scouts also being able to test their skills on Hidden Valley’s impressive climbing tower. There’s also a terrific first-year camper program designed to help newer Boy Scouts get a fast start along the advancement trail.

If your unit or group is interested in renting any of the cabins at Hidden Valley, please check availability by checking the reservations charts by using the links located to the right.
