July 1, 2025: Unit Registration Phase opens
About Registration
All the information you need to sign up for camp.
Please read through this entire page before signing anyone up.
Contents
Quick Facts
Leaders Required
All units must provide adult leadership at camp, unless the youth(s) attending are Provisional Scouts or Provisional Venturers. There is no provisional program for Webelos Resident Camp. If a contingent is only a parent/child combination, that is acceptable.
Who Registers?
Only one person, the Unit Registrar, should manage the registration, enter information, and make payments on behalf of the unit. (Parents should contact their unit registrar to register their youth to go to camp.)
Password?
There are two options for creating a registration: make an account or continue as a guest. Regardless, you’ll still be able to access your registration. Need to get back into your registration?
Reserve Your Spot
To reserve your unit’s spot, the unit registrar needs to make a registration and pay the $200 non-refundable unit registration fee. The unit registration fee is not required for Provisional Camp or Phoenix Nest campers.
The number of spaces held will be based off the Estimated Youth and Adults fields you fill out in the Registration Contact’s information.
All Goshen camps will be in unit registration mode until December 10, 2025.
Multiple Unit Registrations
Units who are sending multiple groups to GSR camps will only need to make one non-refundable unit registration fee (e.g. a Troop sending one group to Olmsted and one group to Lenhok’sin or a Pack sending groups two different weeks). This is a manual discount, so please contact us for more information if you are considering sending multiple groups to GSR.
Adding Campers
Units will be able to add campers beginning in December 10, 2025.
Add campers to your roster only when you are ready to pay for them. The registrar does not need to know exactly how many people are coming to reserve space at camp. Additional attendees can be added to your registration as youth and adults commit.
Sign up for MBs
Merit Badge & Activity Signs Ups for Scouts BSA programs will open in the spring!
Campers can sign up for badges and activities during the registration process, but must finish the check out process and be booked to secure their spot and finalize their schedule.
Camperships
If you plan on applying for a campership for a youth, please DO NOT pay for them right away. Voucher codes will be sent out after camperships are awarded.
Other Helpful Information
Choose your campsite?
When you register your unit, you may list any campsite preferences. We’ll take those into account when placing your unit in your campsite for the week!
Registering a New Troop
New Troops can go ahead and sign up for camp, even if they don’t have an official Troop number yet. Use the National Capital Area Council Troop 1 (Girl Troop Placeholder Unit) to register. We’ll use the unique registration number and your email address to identify your registration. Once you get your official Troop charter, let us know and we’ll help you change it on your registration.
Credit Card Service Charge
Due to a change in policy in our Council, there is now a service charge for credit cards when registering for camp and other events. There is no service charge for e-checks.
Carrying Over Credits
Got credit on your account from last summer? Submit a Rollover Credit Request form.
Adult Requirements
General
At any time, a Unit must have two adults over the age of 21 who are registered with Scouting America. If there are female youth members, one of those adults must be female.
Scouts BSA & High Adventure Camps
All adults, ages 18+, staying overnight must be currently registered as an adult volunteer or an adult program participant. Registration as a merit badge counselor position does not meet this requirement. Refer to the Guide to Safe Scouting for a list of approved adult registration fee required positions.
Camp Ross
We require a 1:4 adult to Webelos/AOLs with a minimum of 2 adults per unit. To give all Webelos & AOLs the best program, please avoid a direct 1:1 adult to youth ratio. Adults splitting the week are welcome!
At least of these two adults must be registered leaders, as described in the previous section. All other adults, if they are parent/guardians attending with their child, are not required to register as leaders, but must be accompanied by a registered leader any time they are with youth members other than their own child. Phoenix Nest adults must be registered leaders.
At least one leader (we recommend more) must be BALOO trained.
Free Adults
Some adults attend free! The more youth who attend with your unit, the more free adults you receive.
- 1-10 Youth: 1 Free Adult
- 11-20 Youth: 2 Free Adults total
- 21-30 Youth: 3 Free Adults total
- And so on…
Splitting Adults
If you have adults that are splitting the week (one comes down for the first half and the other comes down for the second half), register them as one full adult.
Forms
All attendees must present Parts A, B, & C of the Scouting America Annual Health and Medical Record (AHMR), regardless of duration of stay. Please note that Part C for the AHMR requires a physician’s signature.
Lenhok’sin High Adventure requires additional training. Please visit the Lenhok’sin High Adventure page to see what training is required for your chosen trek.
Family Scouting FAQ
Information for Boy Troops, Girl Troops, and Family Packs
Which weeks can we attend?
All weeks are open to all campers of any gender.
Can linked units share a registration?
aka Can Scouts BSA girl troops be combined with Scouts BSA boy troops into a “camp unit”?
If you are attending camp as separate but cooperative units with separate youth and adult leadership, no. Your units should maintain separate registrations.
If you are attending camp as one unit with combined youth and adult leadership, yes. Follow guidance from the Guide to Safe Scouting, below.
According to the Guide to Safe Scouting, both troops’ leadership and the chartering organization(s) must approve. Only one set of two-deep leadership from the hosting troop, with a registered female leader over the age of 21 if girls are present, is required provided all other Barriers to Abuse are met, including the buddy or truddy system.
Can linked units share a campsite?
Yes. Our camp layout and amenities allows units to share a campsite while meeting privacy and separate accommodations as described in Safeguarding Youth Training.
Be sure to list that you want to share a site in the Site Preference field in your Registration Contact information in your registration.
Can linked units be on the same Lenhok’sin crew?
Yes. Please refer to the previous question on sharing a registration.
Can a parent bring their daughter to camp with their son’s troop or their son to camp with their daughter’s troop?
Yes, according to the Guide to Safe Scouting, as long as both troops’ leadership and the chartering organization(s) approves. Only one set of two-deep leadership from the hosting troop, with a registered female leader over the age of 21 if girls are present, is required provided all other Barriers to Abuse are met, including the buddy or truddy system.
What if we don’t have enough leaders?
Scouts BSA, sign up for Provisional Camp! If your unit is small and you just aren’t able to find that last leader that you need to be able to bring everyone, be part of one of our Provisional Troops for the week.
Webelos & AOLs, sign up for Phoenix Nest at Camp Ross! Phoenix Nest is for 1 registered leader and up to 4 youth. You will either be paired with other Phoenix Nest participants or with an attending Pack to form your group for the week.
What are the amenities like?
Each resident camp has a showerhouse with individual shower rooms and four bathrooms. Each campsite has a latrine with two individual stalls.
Our units recently combined into one Family Troop. How do we combine our two registrations?
Send us an email. We can merge your registrations manually. We will need to know the two registration numbers and which one is now the primary.

All refund transactions will be completed prior to September 30th.
Camperships
Each summer, funds from the Greg Augustine Campership Fund are made available to help campers be able to attend a week of summer camp and have meaningful experiences.
The Campership Committee will convene and make award designations. Requests received after the due date will only be considered if funds are still available.
If you plan on applying for a campership for a youth, please DO NOT pay for them right away. Please do not pay for the camper until you have received a response from the Campership Committee. Camper aid will not be awarded or refunded to registrants who have secured funding from other sources and have already made a payment online. Be sure to notify your Goshen unit registrar that you plan on applying for a campership for your youth.
Voucher codes will be sent out after camperships are awarded. Applications submitted by March 1 that receive initial approval should expect their Goshen specific voucher code by March 15, 2025.
Due March 1st
Please fill out the appropriate form. If you are unsure which Council you belong to, please check with your unit leader or contact Camping Specialist Sarah Moses at Sarah.Moses@scouting.org.
