Although we are sad that summer resident camp at Heritage Reservation is not happening in person this year, we are proud to bring you a bit of Heritage Reservation at home!

Heritage @ Home is an online summer camp program for Scouts BSA members looking to keep up or get ahead on their advancement this summer and have some fun while they are at it.

Badge and activity offerings are built to encourage Scouts to get up, get outside, and not be stuck in front of a computer all day. Courses are being planned and delivered by a group of experienced, adult Heritage summer staff members and merit badge counselors.

When

Two week long options:

• July 12-17
