Located in the nature itself, Camp
Chawanakee has an excellent Nature Area. The Nature Lodge
is full of resources to help scouts learn about nature
and how we interact with it.

"The Boy Scouts of America has something going for
it that all the government welfare programs in America
can't match: success.
Besides families and religion, Scouting is probably this country's
single best program for building character in boys, and has been for
nearly a century."
The Times Leader, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
