14 Feb 2024 — Several additional Scouts BSA events have been added to the spring schedule.

Scouts BSA Summer Opportunities

Building on the success of the past few seasons, Camp Workcoeman will continue to offer a variety of short-term opportunities for Scouts BSA participants throughout the summer of 2024, including one- and two-day merit badges, a la carte activities/rentals, and scuba certification. A week-long National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) course will be offered. In addition, overnight unit and family camping is available all summer. These programs are not designed to replicate a traditional troop summer camp experience; rather, they are intended to supplement one through a variety of flexible programs.
