Dear Pedro, I’ve been wondering about different summer camps, but instead of learning things from a bunch of reporters I would like to hear from my fellow Scouts — things like food and activities.
– William S., Hardy, Ark.
OK, fellow Scouts, help William out. Send in stuff on your camps to me and we’ll talk about them in the e-bag.
Pedro celebrates the 100th birthday of Boys’ Life magazine with this exclusive look behind the scenes of how the Boy Scouts’ monthly magazine is published. And don’t miss the last scene for a special bonus!
Medicine Mountain is pretty cool in South Dakota the staff is friendly there is a lot of merit badges up for grabs and the food is really good i was just there a week ago and it is awesome they have plumbing and warm showers one of my highlights is our Troop Guide they are very friendly also the drive up there was beautiful so come on and try it
I attend camp Manatoc in Peninsula OH we as a troop of 40 attend for a week in the middle of July. The food is awesome; it is servered family style with a wide variety of meals including ribs on friday. Every day after lunch we have the option to attend summer camp games. There are several two-man tents and 2 cabins per campsite. there are may merit badges we can take from First Aid to BMX. there is a pool party and the pool is open almost every day. there is much more avalable as well. Hope this helps you see what other summer camps are like.
Hey, William. Summer camp is great I highly recommend it. It’s really fun at my camp (Goose Pond Scout Reservation) we get to kiyak, canoe, small-boat sail, rowboat, zipline, and swim! For the food part we had breakfasts of things like pancakes, sausage, optional cereal, orange juice, french toast, and bacon. For lunches we would have wimpies, tacos, pizza, meatball subs! For dinner we had stuffed chicken, BBQ chicken, roast beef and I forget what else. Overall, Summer camp is AWESOME and I can’t wait till I go back with my troop in 3 weeks!
