Summer Camp 2026

The Scouts have spoken, and we will be going back for summer camp at Camp Grimes in Nebo, NC this summer the week of July 5 thru July 11, 2026. Please begin planning now to set money aside for camp fees. The fees are $500 again this summer. Total camp fees are due in by April 27.

Reminder that we will need everyone attending to have an updated BSA Medical completed before we go to camp; Parts A, B1, B2 & C are required. Parts A, B1, and B2 can be completed by a parent; Part C needs to be completed by a doctor. Also, a copy of an insurance card is needed. Here is a link to the form, which is a downloadable, and fillable PDF: 680-001_ABC.pdf (scouting.org). It is imperative we have this form complete before we leave for camp.
