It is is 3 AM in the morning.
I am getting up at this hour to attend a fundraiser for our unit.
Our unit participates (handing out water, working water stations or attending to food distribution) in various road races throughout the year to raise funds. Our scouts and parents participate.
What does your unit do to raises funds for summer camp? Do both parents and kids participate? What to the funds go towards (transportation, accommodations, camp costs)? Let us know in the comments section below!

A Roadmap
As many of you Scouters know, to get from point A to point B, a map is most useful!
As such, on this journey to checkout each and every scout summer camp, we are going to need a handy point of reference to make sure we cover all the basis.
With that in mind, checkout this list of all the Boy Scout local council websites available from the national scouting.org website. Each council's website (after receiving approval from national) is listed. At last check, 304 councils were listed on the page. That adds up to 304 different stops that we will be making on this summer camp review tour!
Is your council's site on the list? Which council name do you find most interesting? Share your thoughts below.

The Begininng
So today it begins.
This will be a journey to review the over 750 Boy Scout Camps throughout the United States and it's territories. While this will in no way be an official guide, it will be one Scouter's view of the numerous opportunities available for your Scout troop to it get to where it needs to be this summer - SUMMER CAMP!!
After all, summer camp should be the yearly pinnacle for each and every Boy Scout Troop. Memories will be made, lessons will be learned and friendship that may last a life time, will be forged during that week away from home at a Boy Scout Summer Camp!
This blog will hit each and every Boy Scout council throughout the BSA and highlight the Summer Camp opportunities available in that council. In helping plan summer camp outings for our Troop, I have found that there is a lot of information out there and we will do our best to sort it out and present it to our audience in a way where you can find out what is out there and guide your Scouts (and your Troop Committee) to make the best decision possible. We will provide web links(where available) to each camp and a other pertinent information to allow you to do your research before you get to camp in order to avoid as may surprises as possible.
Our camp updates will be at least weekly! If you want us to review your local camp or another camp, drop us a note in the comment section! In addition, your feedback is invaluable so we encourage your input and feedback!
