Winnebago Scout Reservation is owned and operated by the Patriots' Path Council, B.S.A. in Rockaway, New Jersey. Winnebago has been in operation since 1941, and is a BSA Nationally Accredited Camp. Within Winnebago is Boy Scout Residential Camping, Cub Scout Residential Camping, Cub Scout Day Camp and Troop weekend camping. Our Program and Outpost Camping is simply the best! The Dining Hall offers 'class A' food and great entertainment.

Not only are we a traditional Boy Scout camp but offer so much more.  We go far beyond.  Additional programs include "MUD HIKE", canoe portages to Split Rock Reservoir and hikes to Charlottesburg Reservoir, as well as sunset hikes to Indian Cliff.

    Mountain biking treks can be planned to accommodate any skill level for Scouts and Scouters.  There are also four historical trails available for your hiking and biking, ranging from 7 miles to 18 miles including, a hike to the Split Rock Furnace (a historic landmark).  Specific trail maps are available for these four hikes.  A trip around wonderful Durham Pond is two miles and appropriate for cubs.  A commemorative badge is available for this hike.

    Winnebago features a unique Trail to Eagle program for Life Scouts.  Scouts form a special Provisional Troop and work together to begin to conceptualize their own individual Eagle projects.  Special speakers and programs focus on the challenges ahead and strategies for accomplishing goals are discussed.

    All this.. so close to NYC!

Remember you're in bear country, "Who forgot to visit the dumpster?".
