Camp Bud Schiele Scout Reservation Summer Camp

At Camp Bud Schiele Scout Reservation, Scouts of all ages and experience can enjoy an outstanding summer camp program. From the first-year camper program, Trailhead, to our Merit Badge program, Scouts of all ages experience fun and adventure while maximizing their advancement opportunities.

Trailhead for 1st Year Scouts

Trailhead is a 3 block program held every morning all week. There are two sessions every day. The remainder of the day, Scouts can work on merit badges that may interest them, or participate in troop activity periods. Scouts are instructed in the following skill areas: wood tools, meal preparation and cooking, pioneering, knots, orienteering, nature, first aid, and outdoor citizenship.

Merit Badge Program

At camp, the staff is committed to delivering quality merit badge sessions where Scouts complete the requirements as stated. Our goal is that Scouts have fun and learn at the same time. We offer numerous merit badge and certification programs.

Provisional Campers

If you are unable to attend summer camp with Troop 373, but would still like to go to summer camp, or if you would like to attend a second week of summer camp, you can do that as a Provisional Camper.  There is no reason for you to miss out on all the fun just because your troop isn’t going to summer camp, or because other summer plans mean you won’t be able to go to camp with your troop. You may even want to do an additional week of camp, just because you had such a great time. Scouts who wish to go to camp can attend as part of the Camp Bud Schiele Provisional Camper Program.
