CAMP TUCKAHOE · SUMMER 2027
Scouts BSA Camp
Make a week at Camp Tuckahoe the highlight of your troop’s Scouting year. Learn a new skill, take on a challenge, and share the adventures that turn a group of Scouts into a stronger team.
New campers and experienced Scouts alike will find room to grow.
Troops from outside the New Birth of Freedom Council are welcome, with no additional out-of-council fees.

Coordinate your troop’s plans together. Black Pug allows one registration per unit.

A week of adventure. Skills for a lifetime.
Choose from more than 40 merit badges in 2027, explore new interests and put your Scouting skills into practice. Camp gives Scouts time to learn with friends, grow in confidence and bring new accomplishments back to their troop.
Climb our 38-foot tower or ride the 700-foot zipline over Memory Lake. Camp activities also include kayaking, archery, rifle shooting and introductory scuba, giving Scouts plenty of ways to challenge themselves.
Cool off in our 186,000-gallon swimming pool and gather for meals in an air-conditioned dining hall that seats more than 500 campers. An enthusiastic camp staff and time outdoors bring the week together.
