Great Falls Council maintains and operates three camps in our Council: Camp Gorton, Camp Sam Wood and Camp Scouthaven.

These properties are used for a variety of activities in our Council.

These properties are maintained and improved by donations and volunteer service along with our dedicated Rangers and Caretakers.

We are hiring! Check out our Career Opportunities for Summer 2025!

Camperships

Camperships, in addition to unit fundraising and family support, help ensure that all Scouts can participate in a Great Falls Council summer experience!

Scouts in need can receive 10%-50% of the Early Bird fee from the Council Campership Fund by applying during the registration process. A Scout must be registered for a camp session to be approved, and units must activate the Parent Portal. Parents can then log into their Scout’s registration and fill in the Campership application form.

If you would like to help support the Campership fund make a donation today!
