    NewScoutCampoutGrpFishing.jpgWelcome New Scouts!!

    New to Scouting? This is the trip for you! You’ll learn to pitch your own tent, cook your own meals, learn to identify plants and animals, learn to use a knife, saw, and axe, have free time to play games and go fishing…

    Not new to Scouting? This is the trip for you! You’ll get to show off share your Scouting skills (and those who still need to work on some will have a chance to, also) and have a lot of fun while you do.


    Parents are welcome to camp with us on this campout.  We'll treat you right!

    Where To Meet:  We'll meet at IWLA at 6pm and walk to the Lake together.

    Other Important Info:  Eat dinner before you come on Friday evening.  We will finish up Sunday morning after breakfast and cleanup (approximately 10am). No electronics (only allowed while we drive and we're not driving anywhere!).

The activity areas are designed to challenge and thrill every Scout, offering 33 merit badges along with six special older Scout programs.

    The large, beautiful lake offers unlimited aquatics adventure, including all the water related merit badges -- Swimming, Fishing, Rowing, Motorboating, Water-skiing, Canoeing and Small Boat Sailing.

    In the field sports area, Scouts can test their marksmanship abilities on the .22 rifle range and the target and action archery ranges. In the Ecology-Conservation area, Scouts learn about the natural world in which they live. The Scoutcraft area offers Scouts the opportunity to hone skills in camping, hiking, axemanship, backpacking, wilderness survival and pioneering. The Handicraft area offers instruction in basketry, leatherwork, woodcarving and model rocketry as part of the Space Exploration merit badge.

    Camp Liberty                                                                                  It has 14 troop sites, a central area, waterfront, rifle and archery ranges, two troop showers, leaders' and staff shower and a campfire area. The central area consists of the Program Hall (adult centered), Commissary/Quartermaster/Trading Post building (boy centered), parade ground with flagpoles, and a staff dining/lounge building. The waterfront has both swimming and boating areas. The boating area is equipped with canoes, motor boats, rowboats, and sailboats.
