Ockanickon Scout Reservation

I had the privilege of spending a full week at Ockanickon Scout Reservation as an Assistant Scoutmaster with our Troop 44, and it was truly an outstanding experience. The camp is very well organized, with excellent facilities that provide a safe, fun, and educational environment for scouts. There is no shortage of activities here—our scouts enjoyed shooting, archery, swimming, and a variety of outdoor challenges that kept them engaged every day. Beyond the traditional scouting activities, what impressed me most was the emphasis on learning. The camp offers a wide range of STEM programs and merit badge classes that allow kids to build valuable skills while still having fun. The staff and counselors were supportive, enthusiastic, and clearly dedicated to making the experience memorable for

The camp is okay, The merit badge counselors were great very thorough with their teachings. The property is well kept for the most part. The latrines need some work! Structurally they're pretty much intact but there needs to be attention placed on cleanliness and the smell which is enough to take out a human during these really extremely hot days.

This place is only for Scouts and Cub Scouts and adults who have all their clearances and proper safety training. Their training programs that go from Age 5 into adulthood include ethics ,first aid, Personal Fitness, environmentalism, patriotism, self-reliance, nature, leadership, Communications, sports and outdoor skills.

Nice large campground. Staff is pretty chill and classes are easy and mostly easy to get to. I feel the trading post has some steep prices especially camp merchandise. On the other hand, the latrines are horrendous. The latrines feel like they can collapse at any second and the bathrooms are infested with flies and spiders. The stench is not as bad as people say it is tho. You can also hear other people's business which i feel defeats some privacy purposes.
