Welcome to the Home of New Horizons District Camping!
Camping is the joyous part of a Scout’s life – Lord Baden-Powell
Summer camp isn’t the only time Scouts can enjoy all the great programs the council has to offer! Greater St. Louis Area Scouting and the New Horizons District offer a variety of fun activities for Scout units, families, and friends to enjoy all year long!
Troops, Packs, and Crews are encouraged to camp out and to take part in the great programs offered throughout the year by the Council and New Horizons.
2025 District Fall Camporee – October 17-19 at Beaumont Scout Reservation
More details to come soon.
Scouts, do you have an interest in joining the New Horizons Camporee Youth Staff? Please let us know! We are looking for your help.
Why should a Pack, Troop, Crew, or Ship go to a District Camporee?
- Makes the outing easier for Units Leaders. The activities are already planned and run by the Camporee Committee.
- Participants can see other Units. They can discuss ideas and see how others run an outing.
- Provides Leadership opportunity for Scouts. Either on Camporee staff or providing leadership in their own Unit at Camporee.
- Promotes Scouts BSA (Troops) to Cub Scouts (Packs) by the Cub Scouts being involved in a camporee with Troops.
- Provides activities that many Units could not provide for their Scouts on their own.
Units and families can reserve council properties for camping or other activities. Click Here to reserve one of Greater St. Louis Area Scouting’s premier properties.
