Summer Camp

Summer camp is the highlight of the year for many Scouts. In the Great Smoky Mountain Council, we hold our summer camp at Camp Buck Toms on the shores of a private cove on Watts Bar Lake. Scouts spend six nights camping out with their Troops. During the days, they participate in activities ranging from stand-up paddleboarding to insect study, wilderness survival to robotics, fingerprinting to fishing, and rock climbing to archery while working toward some of the more than 60 available merit badges.
