Ingersoll Scout Reservation

You can't take the "outing" out of Scouting. The outdoor program appeals to boys. A week at summer camp is the top experience for Scouts of all ages. Ingersoll Scout Reservation is dedicated to providing the premier summer camp experience for your unit.

When planning your summer experience, please consider:

The program facilities and equipment
Our camp provides a wonderful variety of programs, quality meals, and facilities to meet your unit's needs and desires. We offer your Scouts approximately forty Merit Badges, nightly specialty programs, a week-long wilderness trek, and much more.

Advancement opportunities
New Scouts can work with Brownsea Island as they embark on their journey to First Class. The quality of our Merit Badge sessions is a high priority, and we pride ourselves on the knowledge attained by the Scouts after camp.

An enthusiastic, well-trained Staff
Ingersoll Scout Reservation boasts one of the highest quality staffs in the area. Staff training begins immediately as many Area Directors are hard at work planning their areas for your Scout's summer adventure! The National Camping School certifies numerous staff and they all hold your unit's enjoyment of camp at the highest priority.

National Camp Standards.
Our camp is inspected and certified both by the State of Illinois and the National Office of the Boy Scouts of America. The National Office has rated Ingersoll Scout Reservation with an "A" score for the last 16 summers along with scoring 100% for the past five summers.

Flexibility.
Not all Scout Troops are alike, and we know that! That is why Scout Troops can develop a program at our summer camp that suits their needs. We're here to make your week at camp a summer that will last a lifetime!
