Forestburg Scout Reservation

Forestburg is 1200 acres of unspoiled woodlands located deep in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, near Port Jervis, NY. With an abundance of wildlife and natural resources including a 70 foot waterfall, and a beautiful 55 acre lake, Forestburg provides all the opportunities a Scout can handle.

Forestburg offers advancement opportunities in a wide variety of Merit Badges including Archery, Sailing, Swimming, Lifesaving, Cooking, Hiking, Wilderness Survival, Camping, Climbing, Canoeing, Rowing, Rifle and Shotgun Shooting, Sports and many others. Additionally the camp has a fantastic Ecology/Conservation Center that is open daily.

A great opportunity exists at Forestburg for the new Scout. At our Frontier Camp we offer outdoor skills needed for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranks. Frontier Camp will be operating on a full schedule just like our Merit Badge workshops.

A complete program for the well experienced older Scout is available. These include our mountain bike program, rock climbing, rappelling, Snorkeling BSA, Sailboating, and canoeing and tubing down the Delaware River. Horseback riding is available through a nearby stable. Plenty of activities are also located in the Forestburgh area. In the evening, Scouts can work in the AFCEA Technology Center on electricity, electronics, radio, cinematography, and space exploration merit badges.

So, come join us. Plan a week or more of fun, adventure, growth and advancement that will put you well on the road to the coveted Eagle Scout rank.

Scouts: Each Scout must have a valid physical examination recorded on an official Boy Scouts of America Medical Form and signed by a Licensed Physician within 36 months of his arrival at camp. This form must accompany the Scout and he cannot remain in camp without it. Please give a great deal of attention to both parts of the medical form "Marked" "MUST BE COMPLETED".

Leaders: All leaders 40 years of age and older must have a yearly physical examination. Those under 40 can follow the same procedure given for Scouts.
