Richard A. Henson Scout Reservation named for the famous aviator and philanthropist from Salisbury, Maryland has been in continuous operation by the Del-Mar-Va Council since the summer of 1965. The original name has been retained in the current facility that is called Camp Nanticoke. The 1485 acres of prime wooded pinelands was purchased by the Council. An additional 392 acres are leased. The property and facilities are maintained at the highest possible standard.  The beautiful natural resources of the property have recently been noted in the Nature Conservancy’s “Last Great Places” campaign.

At Del-Mar-Va Council camps the fee your Scouts pay is "All Inclusive" There are no hidden or additional fees for any other camp programs or services. This makes Del-Mar-Va Council camp fees LOWER than many other Scout camps! A camp patch is also provided for every participant at no additional charge. The only other money your Scouts may need is for the camp Trading Post! Customized camp T-shirts are available at the Trading Post by prior order.
