National BSA Camp Accreditation
All camp sites are certified through the National Camp Accreditation Program (NCAP). NCAP is a rigorous review of camps and properties for continuous improvement, and correction or elimination of substandard practices. Only camps that successfully complete all five aspects of the NCAP are BSA accredited camps.
Council Program Committees
Program committees coordinate, plan, and execute opportunities for Scouts and Scouters throughout the year. These special events, camps, and programs cannot happen without the support of community volunteers willing to share their experiences and passions by coordinating events and learning opportunities for Scouts — from Shooting Sports Events and Pinewood Derby to Merit Badge Workshops and Community Service:
