Discover the Adventure – Schedule a Unit Camping Presentation!

Want to learn more about the amazing camping opportunities the Patriots’ Path Council has to offer? There’s no better way than by scheduling a Unit Camping Presentation!

One of our trained presenters will visit your unit meeting and deliver a fun, 15-minute overview of all the exciting summer and year-round camping programs available through our council.

Each presentation is customized to your unit type — whether you’re Cub Scout Pack or Scouts BSA Troop — so you’ll get the most relevant and exciting information for your Scouts.

Parents are encouraged to attend too! You’ll walk away inspired and informed about all the ways your Scouts can explore, learn, and grow through camping.
