First Year Camper & New Scout Program

New Scout Quest

The first-year camper program is designed for the Scout who have recently entered Scouts BSA and have not completed many of the Tenderfoot and Second-Class advancement requirements. New Scout Quest (NSQ) is a half day program that will continue to work on early rank advancement while building up fundamental Scouting skills.

Older Scout Programs

In addition to advanced Merit Badges, Older Scouts at Olmsted can take part in four of the reservation-wide programs offered to Scouts at the three Goshen Scout Camps – Bowman, Marriott, and Olmsted. When necessary, Scouts should arrange transportation with the Camp Staff at the Admin building, get walking directions to the Camp Post programs, or provide their own transportation.

Goshen's Older Scout Program

Offered to Scouts at Camps Bowman, Marriott, and Olmsted, Osprey is a full day, week-long program that includes high adventure opportunities and explores Goshen Scout Reservation. Over the course of the week, Scouts will become a team at Low COPE, participate in a service project, circumnavigate Lake Merriweather in canoes, engage in a metalworking and welding workshop, and embark on an afternoon hike with Lenhok’sin High Adventure activities.

Osprey is recommended for Scouts ages 14 and up and is offered out of Camp Marriott.

Osprey replaces the former Goshen Vets Older Scout Program.

The Climbing Tower is open for open climb on Wednesday evenings. All are welcome!

COPE: Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience

Push your limits and discover your leadership potential on our high ropes course! COPE is all about teamwork, problem-solving, and confidence-building as Scouts tackle thrilling challenges high above the ground.
