2018 Summer Camp Information
Scout Deposits Due February 15, 2017

We collect a $50 per Scout deposit to hold your spot for summer camp. That deposit is due by February 15, 2017. After that date troops can still add Scouts, but will be required to pay the $50 when they add a Scout. Starting March 1 we will be adjusting your Scout number to match the number of deposits paid.
Eagle Academy

Don’t let your Scouts miss out on Bashore’s Eagle Academy! Held July 30-August 5, 2017. Eagle Academy is a great way for Star and Life Scouts to get a jump on a few Eagle required merit badges and enjoy another week at camp.  Space is limited to the first 25 applicants.
New for 2017 Specialty weeks

Bashore is offering three different specialty weeks, designed for the seasoned Scout who is looking for new challenges and some high adventure. Their choices are BSA Life Guard Week, Search, Rescue, and Survive Week, and Cycling Week. Older Scouts may either attend provisionally, or they may attend with their troop. Each of the specialty weeks runs parallel to the regular camp activities. See the  Older Scout Program description  for more information. (These specialty weeks replace the former Trailblazer program.)
Camperships Deadline is March 15

The deadline for submitting Campership applications, March 15, 2017, is quickly approaching.  Camperships exist to help Scouts with a financial need attend a Pennsylvania Dutch Council summer camp.  Don’t let a lack of funds keep your Scouts from attending camp this summer.  Camperships are given based upon need and funds available.  To apply, fill out and submit the Pennsylvania Dutch Council Campership Form found on our website or contact the Council Service Center to have one sent to you.
