Winter Camp 2024 Scouts BSA
Welcome to 2024 Winter Camp – Southern Chillin’!
We are excited about your Troop attending our 2024 Winter Camp at Camp Avondale on the Avondale Scout Reservation!
Winter Camp is a four (4) full-day camp of merit badge classes before the Thanksgiving holiday starting at 9:00 a.m. on November 23 and ends at 4:00 p.m. on November 26. This allows units to camp together using the Troop and Patrol method to accomplish their goals under their own leadership. An excellent Camp Staff provides program help, guidance, and supervision in the areas of Scout Craft, Nature, Shooting Sports, and STEM, along with many other specialty merit badge subjects.
