Located just 8-miles from Yellowstone’s east gate, in the heart of Shoshone National Forest, Camp Buffalo Bill is an unforgettable destination surrounded by stunning landscapes, abundant wildlife, and endless outdoor thrills. Over 40 merit badge opportunities, adventure day to explore Yellowstone and much more!
For the older youth (completed 8th grade) you have a high adventure opportunity. The Yellowstone High Adventure Outpost (YHAO) Backpacking Adventure is a 5-day, 4-night backpacking adventure in the backcountry of Yellowstone National Park or Shoshone National Forest. Scouts will hike between 5-10 miles a day and complete a 30–50-mile backpacking trek. Along the journey, Scouts will encounter a variety of wildlife that often includes elk, moose, coyotes, wolves, bison, and bears. They will learn about the local ecology, view the stars with almost no light pollution, view scenic mountain vistas, wade in the mountain streams, and fully experience the backcountry wilderness.
Cost for Buffalo Bill camp - $525 (youth) $250 (adult) for the week
Cost for YHAO - $700 for the week
Scouts have fundraising opportunities with Fall Wreath sales and Spring Coupon sales. If cost is still a factor please contact Drew Nelson to discuss campership funds.
