Winter Camp 2025

Event Details

Winter Camp at Blue Ridge Scout Reservation

A winter wonderland of skills and thrills! Scouting adventure, learning, and winter fun await you!

January 3-5, 2025

Youth: $75

Adults: $50

Accommodations: bring your own camping tent and patrol cooking supplies. The meal ingredients and menu will be provided for patrols to prepare. The main Shower Palace will be available for restroom and shower use, but there is otherwise limited facility usage available.

Leadership: Two-deep leadership required; female units need a female leader.

We are excited to offer over 30 merit badges at Winter Camp, with a special focus on merit badges that are not offered at Camp Powhatan during Summer Camp. On your Black Pug registration, Scouts will be able to select 3 merit badges/programs to fill the 3 slots on Saturday and Sunday. Adults will be able to do the same with the adult course offerings.

Please note that due to the limited time constraints of Winter Camp, our merit badge instructors have outlined pre-requisites for each merit badge, which you can find below. For many of these badges, we cannot offer a full completion if pre-requisites are not completed before camp arrival.

Participants will also be able to enjoy camp wide activities such as a dinner cooking competition, obstacle course, craft competition, movie night, and much more!
