Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation

The Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation is a 700-acre tract of land in eastern Pennsylvania dedicated to offering Scouts the chance to experience the beauty of the outdoors. We serve over 2,300 Boy Scouts each summer. We are proud to be involved with the Forest Stewardship Program through the state of Pennsylvania.

Camping is the great outdoor adventure of Scouting. The most crucial element of camping is that each Scout should have the opportunity that the Boy Scout Handbook promises.

Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation offers long term camping (6 nights) to Boy Scouts from the Hawk Mountain Council as well as other visiting Councils. Our Camp operates 7 weeks during the summer with 18 Campsites available to Troops. The Scouts sleep in platform tents on canvas cots. We offer a variety of programs, merit badges and, of course, a well stocked Trading Post.

In addition to our Summer Camp Program, the camp is the center for training adult leaders in the program of Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting and Commissioner Service. Reservations for Weekend Winter Camping begin on July 1st each year.

Kittatinny Lodge #5 of the Order of the Arrow, Scouting’s honor society, utilizes the Reservation throughout the year for fellowship and service gatherings. Their service, combined with that of the Council Maintenance Committee, provides countless man-hours of up-keep for the Reservation.
