Resources & Communication

Leader Emails - Be sure your Camp Coordinator is the primary contact on your registration.  You may also add your Scoutmaster and Committee Chair.  Regular updates will be emailed starting in the fall.  If you are not receiving these, please let us know!

Social Media - Visit us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Registration Notes

Partial Week Leaders - Partial week leaders are those who will be in camp 3 nights or less. Leaders in camp 4 nights or more must pay the regular leader fee. Regardless of how many nights a leader stays, the complete health form (parts A, B, C) need to be completed.

Crossover Scouts - Webelos who cross over to a Scouts BSA Troop between 01/01/23 and the beginning of camp are eligible for the Early Payment Rate to encourage their attendance with your Troop. Only new crossovers are eligible for this rate.

Provisional Scouts - An individual Scout not camping with their Troop is considered a “Provisional Scout”.  To register a provisional scout, you will need to contact the CAC office. The Ransburg Staff will work to associate Provisional Scouts with a Troop, or form a Provisional Troop for that week.

Male/Female Troop Reservations - Units coming to camp must have separate reservations. For example if male Troop 100 is planning on attending with female Troop 1001, each Troop must have separate reservations. This helps to facilitate your Troop's summer camp experience. 

Campsite Cooking Option - All meals are served family style in our Dining Hall. However, units who wish to cook in their campsite, rather than eat in the dining hall, can do so on a limited basis by reserving either Denali campsite or Yosemite campsite. By electing this option, your unit will provide your own food to prepare and cook in your campsite, for all three meals daily. Food to cook is not provided if you elect this option. Fees are adjusted accordingly for the campsite cooking option in Denali and Yosemite campsites. If you elect this option, the fees are discounted by $70 per registrant. Propane is not provided. Limited cooking equipment is available for check-out at the quartermaster. Please refer to the 2023 Camping Guide for more information.

Campsite Selections - We believe that the campsite is a Troop's home while at summer camp. We will work hard to help you register your Troop into the campsite(s) that suit your unique needs and preferences, while also being considerate of the other Troops who plan to attend. Projected numbers of youth and adult attendees are requested at the time of registration and should be confirmed with the Per Scout Deposit by February 15th, 2023. After this date, campsites that are not at capacity will be evaluated on an as needed basis for modification.

Leadership Requirements - A minimum of two leaders (over the age of 21) are required per reservation and then a 1 leader to 8 Scout ratio. If your troop has 1 - 16 Scouts, you would be required to bring two leaders. For 17 - 24 Scouts, 3 leaders; 25 - 32 Scouts, 4 leaders; etc. In addition, a male Troop must have at least one 21+ male leader and a female Troop must have at least one 21+ female leader.
