Camp Old Indian

Overview

Because this is YOUR summer. At Camp Old Indian, you'll climb, paddle, shoot, explore, and compete while earning badges and making new friends from across the Southeast. Every trail leads to adventure, every challenge builds your confidence, and every night around the campfire adds to your story as a Scout.

That means special programs, epic challenges, and celebrations you'll only experience this year. And yes—you'll get the exclusive Centennial Patch to prove you were part of history.
