You've heard of Martin Scout Ranch, but you've never experienced it
like this! Join us for a weekend of camping skills for older scouts.
We will learn together early in the weekend and then challenge the
adults to a little friendly competition later on. Together we will
explore some of these topics (exact details are a surprise): first
aid, fire building, safe use of a hatchet, navigation and knots. Also,
use your creativity to explore the many uses of this year's Camp
Mystery Object.
Date: May 29-31, 2026
Location: Martin
Scout Ranch, Pilot Rock, OR
Scout levels: 5th grade Juniors,
Cadettes, Seniors, Ambassadors, Adults
Cost: $15 per
person
Registration Deadline: May 15, 2026
This is a troop event. Troops are responsible for adult/scout
ratios. Buddy camping (troops "buddying up" with another
troop to maintain ratios and training requirements) is available.
Individual scouts with a registered, background checked adult are
welcome if your troop is not attending. Troops will be responsible for
their own food and camping equipment.
We want everyone to
experience the beauty and opportunities at Martin Scout Ranch.
Registered leaders that may be hesitant to bring scouts, but wishing
to learn new camping skills or to experience the ranch are welcome.
(Of course, we prefer you bring your older scouts - we can pair you up
with a buddy troop if you prefer.)
Martin Scout Ranch is
a primitive camp site. Potable water and porta potties are available
on site. All adults should be registered with Girl Scouts and have a
current background check. Outdoor Advanced and Wilderness First Aid
Training are required to fully utilize Martin Scout Ranch. So that
more scouts can attend, we will have volunteers with these trainings
at camp, but troop supervision should include adults with Outdoor
Basic and First Aid training. (Again, buddy camping can help meet
these requirements.)
Please contact Tiff Eyre (tiff.eyre@gmail.com) or Dianne MacDuff (macduff@owt.com) with any questions.
