K-M Scout Ranch

Breathtaking views of Fergus County wilderness, state-of-the-art facilities and endless adventures. For those troops and crews who want to kick back and relax, choose the all-inclusive schedule in which meals, merit badges and evening programs are planned and run by staff. The traditional summer camp schedule gives scouts the opportunity to move forward in rank with our Trail to Eagle program and

earn merit badges like Climbing, First aid, Archery, Environmental Science and Wilderness Survival. Scouts can cool off and go for a swim in our spring-fed lake or take out canoes and rowboats. Older scouts can experience our high ropes course with Project COPE. Or try out our new ATV adventure program. And all will enjoy an opportunity for a “Haunted Overnight” at our very own Ghost Town. Come hear the history and stories that only the hills can tell around Kendall – our turn-of-the-century mining town. Our Mountain Man program is designed for the older scouts who do not wish to work on more merit badges, but would rather put their scout skills the test. Scouts who take this course will get a two day ATV experience with an overnight in out Kendall Ghost Town, a two day river on the Missouri river and a day of team building and skills challenge on our COPE Course. This is an adventure for true scouts. For troops and crews looking for a more adventurous summer camp experience, look no further than K-M High Adventure, an intense canoe trip along the Missouri River, or an extreme backpacking experience based out of K-M. This high adventure program is geared towards older Scouts who are looking for a true adventure. Participants will hike 15-30 miles over the course of the week in the North Moccasin Mountains. Each trek is accompanied by a trained guide, who will educate Scouts about Backpacking and Mountaineering skills and practices. The Missouri river trek offers older Scouts the opportunity to explore the return route of Lewis and Clark and offers incredible side-hikes, fishing and historical wonder of the white cliffs section of this wild and scenic river. Throughout the week, Scouts learn how to work as a team, develop leadership skills, increase their self-confidence and advance their outdoor skills, all while enjoying some of the most magnificent scenery on the planet.
