Campground Notes
Ikego Campground is a very rustic camping experience—there are no showers and no kitchen facilities. All meals will be prepared using the patrol method, so Scouts should be ready to plan, cook, and clean as a team. This is a great opportunity to practice true outdoor living skills, so come prepared to embrace the challenge and enjoy a back-to-basics camping adventure!
