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 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!

That's a wrap on the 2026 summer camp season at Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation!

What an incredible summer it has been. Thank you to every Scout, leader, volunteer, staff member, and family who made this season such a success. Your enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment to Scouting created memories that will last a lifetime and helped make camp a place where young people could learn, grow, and have adventures.

As we closed out the season, our camp staff started what we hope becomes a new tradition by sharing our final dinner together at the campfire circle. It was the perfect way to reflect on an amazing summer, celebrate everything we accomplished, and thank one another for the countless hours of hard work that made camp possible.

To our incredible staff, thank you for your passion, teamwork, and dedication to delivering an outstanding program week after week. You truly made a difference in the lives of every Scout who came through our gates this summer.

Thank you for making the 2026 summer camp season one to remember. We already can't wait to welcome everyone back to Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation next summer!

See you at camp in 2027!

The safety of our Scouts, leaders, volunteers, and staff remains our top priority.

We are continuing to closely monitor the smoke conditions at Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation and will evaluate program activities again first thing tomorrow morning based on the latest air quality information and conditions at camp.

For this evening, we have opened indoor accommodations for anyone who would benefit from being out of the smoke. Camp leadership will continue to monitor conditions throughout the night and make adjustments as needed.

We appreciate everyone's patience, flexibility, and cooperation as we work to provide a safe and enjoyable camp experience. We will share any program updates as soon as decisions are made tomorrow morning.

Thank you Brian for visiting today!
