Samoset Council - Where Camping is King!

Camping is an integral part of the Scouting program. Samoset Council is proud to offer many opportunities for Scouts to get outside and enjoy nature.

The Crystal Lake Scout Reservation (CLSR) offers programs for Scouts of all ages. Cub Scouts will enjoy spending a few days at Akela's World Cub Scout Camp. Boy Scouts age 11-17 will find endless opportunities at Tesomas Scout Camp, while older Boy Scouts (14+) and Venturers will find challenging opportunities in the Trek program through Hanna Venture Base.
