WINTER CAMP
DECEMBER 28 — DECEMBER 31
Held between Christmas and New Years at Camp Buck Toms, the Great Smoky Mountain Council’s annual Winter Camp is an out-of-the-ordinary adventure for hardy Scouts. During the days, Scouts can explore the winter woods on “morning warrior hikes” and participate in a variety of activities and merit badge classes. The reward for braving the cold? Best. Camp. Food. Ever.
