Our Summer Overnighter Program is located at D-bar-A Scout Ranch in Metamora, Michigan (just south of Lapeer). The camp is a working ranch featuring our own herd of horses for riding programs, longhorn
cattle, three lakes and 1700 acres of Scouting paradise.

First Year Scouts will get an opportunity to camp overnight, supervised by their leaders, and work on their trail to First Class. Experienced Camp Staff are on hand to work with the boys in an outdoor setting to teach Scouting skills in a fun and exciting method that includes games and activities that use the skills and reinforce the lessons. Every Scout who attends our 11-Year-Old Scout Summer Overnighter
Program is guaranteed to have a great time and will receive a commemorative patch to remind them of their time at D-bar-A Scout Ranch.

Who Can Attend?:
11-Year-Old Scout Summer Camp Overnighter Program is a program designated to fit the unique challenges of the New Scout program found in Scout Troops chartered within the LDS Church; however all New Scouts and New Scout Patrols are welcomed to attend!
