Summer Camp

Every summer, Troop 6 attends at least one summer camp.  We typically head to camp before the July 4th holiday.  Registration for camp begins in January/February.  Once a deposit is paid, Camp Geronimo does not allow for any refunds, so please plan accordingly.  Occasionally, we attend a second summer camp.  We often head to Camp Emerald Bay at Catalina Island or attend Philmont Ranch.

Camp Geronimo

Camp Geronimo is the Grand Canyon Council's summer camp up in the pines near Payson.  Geronimo is a valued tradition for Troop 6 and is an amazing experience for our scouts. Ask any former scout who grew up in Arizona if they attended Geronimo, and they will immediately smile and tell you how important it was to them as a youth.  At summer camp, scouts will be able to:

• Get to know other scouts, outside of their own patrol

• Gain important skills such as cooking, lifesaving, metalwork, rifle shooting, and many more!

• Serve in leadership positions

• Take fun and interesting merit badge classes or earn scouting awards

• Complete rank advancement requirements

• Have an unforgettable experience
