Program Description 

Trail to Eagle

Soar to new heights at Camp Raymond’s newest program, designed for older Scouts aiming to earn essential Eagle-required merit badges, where you’ll gain the skills, leadership, and knowledge to achieve Scouting’s highest rank while enjoining the ultimate camp experience.

This program offers the opportunity for Scouts to work on up to 4 eagle required merit badges. Sign up and tell us your top eagle required merit badges you want to work on. We will pick the top most common requests and build a week of scheduled programming to complete these requirements in small units of 12 Scouts at a time. Enjoy this personalized experience in the beautiful pine forest of Parks, AZ. There will be lots of free time for classic, fun opportunities such as Swimming, Kayaking, Range and Target Activities, hiking and more. This experience is perfect for the Scouts who are 15+ and have already gone to other summer camps. They will experience a new type of freedom that only older youth can experience in this unique Eagle's Nest Program.

Four Peaks and a Ditch- Trek Program

We also require that your Scout arrives at camp with a pair of good hiking shoes that are broken in and comfortable, and a day pack that can carry enough water for an entire day of hiking.
