Pipsico Scout Reservation is your gateway to adventure! We offer an exciting range of activities and programs designed to help Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, and Venturers earn their awards while having a blast.

Everything here is Nationally Accredited through the BSA's NCAP process, so you know you're in great hands.

Cub Scout Long Term Camp

Our Cub Scout Long-Term Camp is where young scouts and their leaders discover the joy of outdoor exploration together. Den and pack leaders run theme-based programs that bring excitement and fun to every day. Scouts tackle a great mix of activities—swimming, archery, BB guns, handicrafts, sports, and nature—plus special competitions, games, and campfires that keep the energy high. Whether your scouts are earning merit badges or just making memories, this is where scouting comes alive. Jump to Cub Scout Camp.

Scouts BSA Camp

When Scouts BSA arrive for long-term camp, they dive into an aquatics program that's second to none—swimming, lifesaving, sailing, rowing, water-skiing, motor boating, and canoeing right on the James River. Beyond the water, scouts develop real skills through field sports, ecology and conservation, scoutcraft, and handicrafts, all under expert instruction. It's hands-on learning in a supportive environment that challenges scouts to grow. Jump to Scouts BSA Camp.

Summer Adventure Programs

Looking for something beyond the traditional camp week? Pipsico's special summer adventure programs have you covered. Choose from a week-long sailing expedition, SCUBA certification camp, or the Pipsico Experience (PEX)—a jam-packed week featuring shooting sports, aquatics, fishing, climbing, and a day trip to Busch Gardens. These programs are perfect for scouts ready to push their limits and try something different. Jump to Summer Adventure Programs.
