Multi-Week Camper Discount

Scouts and Families, boy, do we have a deal for you! We’ve lowered the price of camp for Scouts who want to attend more than one week of summer camp at Cherokee Scout Reservation. For Scouts who have already attended one week of CSR summer camp and paid the full price, they may attend a second (even a third) week of summer camp for $250.00 – a $90.00 discount!

Multi-week campers will participate in our Provisional Troop. Here is the Multi-week camper registration form. Multi-week campers will use this form to notify the camp leadership of the merit badges they plan to take at camp.

We have space for multi-week campers Weeks 3 (July 1-7), 5 (July 15-21), and 6 (July 22-28).

 

Cherokee Scout Reservation
50th Anniversary Hall of Leadership
Summer Camp 2018

As part of our 50th Anniversary Celebration, Cherokee Scout Reservation will induct the following people into its Hall of Leadership. To qualify for induction into the Hall of Leadership, volunteer and professional Scouters must contribute long-term service to Cherokee Scout Reservation, especially its summer camp program. We recognize these Scouters as our inaugural members for their generous, sustained service to Cherokee Scout Reservation. Each of them has made a significant contribution to camp. At the same time, many are prominent leaders in their communities. We are thankful for their leadership, service and support.

We will recognize the Hall of Leadership members this Saturday, June 30, during our 50th Anniversary Celebration Day festivities. For those who are unable to attend, we will recognize them during our subsequent Thursday evening Family & Visitor Night campfires.  Attached is the Hall of Leadership Inductees, Summer 2018.
