Who Can Attend?

Come with your pack, troop, crew, or ship!

You can also come by yourself  be a part of a overnight provisional program supported by our adult leadership or a host unit.

• Scouts BSA and Venturing Program Considerations
  • All adults staying overnight must be BSA registered leaders in the capacity they are serving at camp.
• Cub Scout Program Considerations
  • BSA does not allow Lions (entering Kindergarten this fall) to residential programs.
  • BSA requires Tigers (entering 1^st grade in the fall) to have an adult partner for resident camp.
  • We require all Cub Scouts who attend resident camp provisionally (not attending with their Pack) to attend with an adult partner (maximum of two Scouts per adult).
  • For Packs attending resident camp, we require the following Adult to Cub Scout ratios. Units are responsible for meeting this expectation.
    • Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts 1:10
    • Wolf & Bear Scouts 1:8
    • Tiger Scouts 1:2
    • Unit adult leaders are responsible for monitoring their unit’s youth behavior and intervening when necessary.
  • Cub Scout Parents and Legal Guardians may attend resident camp (must complete Youth Protection Training) and count towards the Adult to Cub Scout ratios, however they cannot supervise Scouts (other than their own) without a BSA registered leader present as well.

How Do I Register?

To register for camp, click the appropriate button(s) for the week(s) that you would like to attend. Please note the following suggestions. If in doubt, please contact the Council Service Center at 413-594-9196

1. Provisionals, those attending without 2+ Unit Leaders and 2+ Scouts (including Counselor-in-Training and Pocumtuc Summer Experience Scouts), will need to either (1) ask their unit leader if they would register and pay for the Scout and/or adult using their “unit account” in Tentaroo [preferred] or (2) create an “individual account” to register and submit payments.
2. Units need to use the established account in Tentaroo to register and submit all payments as a unit. Individual payments by members of your unit will not be accepted. Units may also register their provisional, day program, and CIT campers using their Unit Account [preferred, as this gives you access to their registration information and merit badge completions]. Do not create your own account!
3. There are many categories to choose from when indicating how many youth/adults will be attending. Please carefully select the appropriate categories for the camp you wish to attend. A complete listing of the categories and when to use them appears in the Summer Camp Registration document (available below).

Annual Health and Medical Records

All youth and adult participants (day and overnight) and staff members MUST submit BSA Annual Health and Medical Record parts A, B & C with immunization records.

All youth must submit a special Massachusetts specific Moses Part D Form as well.

These medical forms must be submitted to the camp health officer no later than one week prior to arrival to be reviewed for completion; to ensure camp health, food service, and program staff are prepared to support individual needs; and to allow for a timely check in for units and individuals.
