Summer Camp

Each year, Troop 221 attends scout summer camp at the Blue Ridge Council’s Camp Powhatan in Pulaski County. This is the nation’s largest locally-owned camp, and offers many experiences depending on the skills and interests of the Scouts:

• Base Camp Powhatan- over 40 merit badge classes, swimming, Brown Sea Island Adventure program, sleeping in two-man tents- the typical summer camp experience.
• High Knoll- backpacking for six days over the trails that cover the 17,000+-acre camp.
• Claytor Lake Aquatics camp- Sailboats, motorboats, water skiing, snorkeling and SCUBA diving- all the things a Scout who loves the water needs!
• Mountain Man- live in the hills and learn to survive on your wits and the land.
• New River Adventure Camp- Rafting, biking, hiking, climbing- all in a week!
• Canoe The New- float down the New river in a canoe, just like an explorer of old!
