Frontiers Camp LogoFrontiers Camp is a unique and very popular Scouting America resident summer camp experience, presented once each summer for registered Scouts BSA youth (male and female) at the Mount Norris Scout Reservation located in Eden Mills, Vermont.

For eight days and seven nights, scouts are immersed in the activities of American Frontiersmen of the early-1800s. This is a one-of-a-kind adventure and experience that develops self-reliance, team-work, and moral and ethical judgment, while incorporating the values of the Scout Oath and Law, as well as frontier skills and a rendezvous lifestyle.

We are a provisional camp so any registered Scouts BSA youth can attend, with or without others from their respective Scouting unit. We provide an all-volunteer staff in excess of 60 registered Scouts and Scouters, who are well-trained and possess over 500 years of Frontiers Camp experience, either as a camper or leader. All merit badge and rank instruction is provided by adult staff.

Daily activities for our campers include a structured merit badge program, Vermont hunter safety programs (including rifle and bow hunter education programs), Scouting America rank advancement, frontiersman projects, traditional Scouting skills, history and stories, historically accurate rendezvous contests of physical skill such as log rolling and tomahawk throwing, numerous crafts, active games, exciting campfires, great meals, and much, much more.
