On This PageUpcoming Dates Boy Scout Summer Camping ProgramT.L. Storer Scout CampOverview Located in the heart of New Hamphire the property that we now call T.L. Storer has been the home to Scout camps for more than five decades. The reservation is far enough away from the city to truly be an outdoor adventure but close enough that it's easily accessible from Boston and most of New England. Storer's rich tradition, vibrant atmosphere and well trained staff make it the place to spend your summer.

Camp ProgramScouts can attend a single week of summer camp or multiple weeks. How? Attending Camp with a Chartered Unit T.L. Storer runs as a traditional Scout Camp with many of the hallmarks of a good Scout Camp including: 2 Waterfronts, Trailblazer (first year), Scoutcraft, Nature (Ecology and Conservation), C.O.P.E. and Climbing, campfires, campwide games, and an unbelievable staff! Most Scouts come with their Unit and are under the capable hands of their Unit Leader's.

Camp FeesTake a look around. You'll find that a week at T.L. Storer is a great value. Why? We are able to keep costs down and the facilities in great shape because of the many donations of time, funds and labor by our many scouting volunteers, camp alumni and community supporters.

Adults that will not be attending for the entire week may opt to buy meals individually at a cost of $4.00 for breakfast, $5.00 for lunch, and $6.00 for dinner. If a unit is cooking in site but would like to eat one or more meals in the dining hall they must notify the Camp Director at least 2 weeks prior to camp. The unit will be charged the meal fee for each person eating in the dining hall. Refunds/CancellationsRefunds of camp fees (exclusive of deposits) will be considered only if written communication is submitted to the council office two weeks prior to the scheduled arrival date. Deposits are not refundable. Refunds will be issued for the unused portion (exclusive of deposits) for a Scout who leaves camp for a verifiable medical  reason. Homesickness is not considered a “refundable” medical reason. Camp fees are transferable to another Scout in your unit. No refunds can be granted for any reason after August 31, 2010. CampershipsThe Boston Minuteman Council has limited funds available to assist Scouts in attending camp (cub scout day camp, cub scout resident camp, webelos resident camp and boy scout summer camp). Requests are approved when simple criteria are met. It is expected that the Scout’s family and unit will fund some portion of the Scout’s camp fee; the Council will strive to subsidize the remainder. As a rule of thumb, the Council is willing to consider up to half the fee for camp. Some communities have campership resources within the community and leaders from those communities are encouraged to explore those resources first so that more young people can be assisted. Campership applications must be submitted on or before Feb 28, 2010 along with a $50.00 deposit.

Camp Staff/CIT Program
Camp Staff —Highly skilled youth and adult members are recruited and trained. Key camp staff members are required to be certified through national. training events. BSA camps utilize highly qualified camp staff members. Because these individuals are not responsible for taking a troop leadership role, they can utilize their unique skills and teaching abilities for mentoring purposes. Youth camp staff members are young enough to connect with Scouts on a social level, but experienced and mature enough to serve as a role model. Benefits of Working on Camp Staff:- Living at camp for the summer
- Earning some spending $$
- Helping Scouts have fun, learn and grow
- Room and Board
- Meeting new friends, or hanging with old ones
- Developing advanced leadership skills
- Gaining valuable work experience
