Pre-Registration Period – (July 1 –  Dec 31, 2025)

Units that want to participate in the Traditional Summer Camp Reservation process, a $200 unit deposit will be required. In addition to the deposit, an estimate of Youth & Adult attendance is also required. 2 Adults and 3 Youth [5 slots] is the minimum registration requirement. Female participants will require a minimum of one female leader.

Boy and Girl Units should be registered as separate units.

Registration Period – (Jan 1 – April 30, 2026)

For Units that register during this period, Units will not need to pay a deposit but will need to specify the number of participant (youth & adult) slots needed for summer camp. 2 Adults and 3 Youth [5 slots] is the minimum registration requirement. Female participants will require a minimum of one female leader.

Boy and Girl Units should be registered as separate units.

Any Unit may make a registration for any available session of any MCC Scouts BSA Resident Summer Camp for 2026. A registration fee equal to $70 per slot reserved will be due at that time. The unit is now financially responsible for the number of slots requested and is subject to the MCC Payment & Refund Policy.

Individual names do not have to be specified at this time but can be if the unit chooses to do so. Names will be required, however, before Merit Badge selection can be made.

Units may add new slots (if space is available) or reduce the number of existing slots (subject to the MCC Payment & Refund Policy) until the end of the Registration Period (April 30th). Units may make changes to existing slots until midnight on the Friday before their arrival at camp.

Estimate Confirmation – Due January 31, 2026

Units that made their reservation during the Pre-Registration period are required to confirm their estimated numbers (based on camp availability) and the camp fee due will be equal to $70 per confirmed participant slot. Units that do not confirm their estimate and pay the $70 per slot by February 1st may lose their summer camp reservation. Do not confirm a slot unless you have a committed participant – Arrow of Light Crossovers can be registered at a later date as long as space permits.  It is vital that Units have open communication to their local Cub Scout Packs and their families in the Arrow of Light Year.  They should know your camp plans and you should be securing their commitment to camp with you as soon as possible, even before their crossover occurs.
