It also offers Scouts the opportunity to participate in physically and intellectually challenging activities, introduces them to new and rewarding experiences and provides them with supportive and caring relationships.

Positive outcomes of Scout summer camp occur because the environment and activities at camp incorporate all of the elements of healthy youth development.

Camp Daniel Boone employs two international staff members each summer.
