Camp Wilderness Capital Improvements. Building better programs by building better facilities.

The Council is happy to report that since 1998 more than $1.4 million has been raised and infused into Camp Wilderness to replace much of the camp infrastructure, with phases one, two and three of the four-phase campaign being completed.  Over the years, Scouting leaders have learned that the single most formative event in the life of a Scout is an extended camping experience.  To meet the needs of our Scouts and adult leaders, capital improvements continue to be made at Camp Wilderness.

Development of a Cub Scout Resident Camp.  Phase four in our “An Investment in Lasting Values” capital campaign is underway with a campaign goal of $1,000,000 for this much needed facility.  Surveys have shown that 95% of all boys joining Cub Scouting believe they will get the opportunity to go camping. Cub Scouts in our council do not currently have a resident camp facility.  Statistics show that Cubs who participate in a Cub Scout resident ‘overnight’ camping experience are more likely to stay in the Cub Scout program and continue on into Boy Scouting.

If you are interested in helping the Northern Lights Council achieve its goal for the development of a Cub Scout Resident Camp contact Mark Holtz, Scout Executive, 877-293-5011.
