The Tidewater Council, Boy Scouts of America invites you to Winter Merit Badge Camp at the Pipsico Scout Reservation. This is a great opportunity for Scouts to hone their cold weather camping skills, complete advancement requirements, earn merit badges (some of which are not typically offered at summer camps), and have lots of fun!!
