Facility Rentals

Looking for a great activity for your unit? Samoset Council offers a variety of facilities and equipment to enhance your weekend programs.

For your camping needs we have patrol and troop campsites, patrol sized cabins as well as cabins large enough for an entire unit. We also have facilities for year round use that include indoor restrooms and showers as well as kitchens.

To help you with programming you could rent canoes at Flambeau Canoe Base, mountain bikes or the indoor climbing wall at Hanna Venture Base. We also offer tents, sleeping bags, packs and other program equipment.

Unit Reservations (for Scout Groups)

  • Reservations are accepted up to 12 months in advance at the Wausau Homes Scout Center.  Call to check availability.
