The Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation is a 700-acre tract of land in eastern Pennsylvania dedicated to offering Scouts the chance to experience the beauty of the outdoors. We serve over 2,300 Boy Scouts each summer. We are proud to be involved with the Forest Stewardship Program through the state of Pennsylvania. Camping is the great outdoor adventure of Scouting. The most crucial element of camping is that each Scout should have the opportunity that the Boy Scout Handbook promises. Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation offers long term camping (6 nights) to Boy Scouts from the Hawk Mountain Council as well as other visiting Councils. Our Camp operates 7 weeks during the summer with 18 Campsites available to Troops. The Scouts sleep in platform tents on canvas cots. We offer a variety of programs, merit badges and, of course, a well stocked Trading Post. In addition to our Summer Camp Program, the camp is the center for training adult leaders in the program of Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting and Commissioner Service. Reservations for Weekend Winter Camping begin on July 1st each year. Kittatinny Lodge #5 of the Order of the Arrow, Scouting’s honor society, utilizes the Reservation throughout the year for fellowship and service gatherings. Their service, combined with that of the Council Maintenance Committee, provides countless man-hours of up-keep for the Reservation.

MEET OUR 2027 SUMMER CAMP LEADERSHIP TEAM!

We’re excited to welcome back David McKeown for his second year as Resident Camp Director at Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation!

David has been involved in Scouting for most of his life. An Eagle Scout and Vigil Honor member of Kittatinny Lodge 5, he currently serves as a District Executive with Scouting America’s Hawk Mountain Council. The 2027 season will mark his 10th summer at HMSR and his second leading the team as Resident Camp Director.

David also stays active at the unit level as Cubmaster of Pack 624 and Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 624. For him, Scouting is more than a job. It is an opportunity to give back to a program that has shaped much of his life and to help create the kind of camp experiences Scouts will remember for years to come.

We’re excited to have David back at the helm and can’t wait to see what he and the rest of our leadership team have in store for 2027!

MEET OUR 2027 SUMMER CAMP LEADERSHIP TEAM!

We’re excited to kick off our 2027 Summer Camp Staff Leadership announcements by welcoming Julie Henrich as our Cub Scout Program Director at Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation!

Julie is no stranger to HMSR. The 2027 season will mark her seventh year on staff and her fourth summer as part of the Cub Scout leadership team. After last serving on the leadership team in 2021, she is excited to return with fresh ideas, plenty of energy, and a passion for creating an unforgettable summer for our Cub Scouts.

Outside of Scouting, Julie is a Pre-Kindergarten teacher, where she creates hands-on experiences that encourage children to explore, discover, and learn through play. She plans to bring that same creativity to camp, building a Cub Scout program where Scouts can try something new, get a little messy, challenge themselves, and make memories they’ll be talking about long after summer is over.

“I want every Scout who comes through our program to have the chance to try something new, get a little messy, challenge themselves, make some great memories, and most importantly, have an absolute blast at camp!”

We’re thrilled to have Julie back at HMSR and can’t wait to see what she and the Cub Scout team have in store for 2027!

Ready to join Julie and the team for an incredible summer?

Cub Scout Day Camp registration for 2027 will be live soon! Stay Tuned!

Please join us in welcoming Julie Henrich, our 2027 Cub Scout Program Director!
