Heritage Reservation

Heritage Reservation, 1700 acres of unspoiled woodland is the ultimate laboratory for the experience of Scout summer camping. Every campsite is carefully nestled among the trees in Camp Freedom Camp Liberty and Camp Independence. The activity areas are designed to challenge and thrill every Scout, offering 33 merit badges along with six special older Scout programs.

With its 270-acre lake and six miles of shoreline, Heritage Reservation calls all Scouts for an unmatched summer of fun and adventure. The large, beautiful lake offers unlimited aquatics adventure, including all the water related merit badges -- Swimming, Fishing, Rowing, Motorboating, Water-skiing, Canoeing and Small Boat Sailing. White Water merit badge is available on the nearby Youghiogheny River.

Heritage is much more than just aquatics. In the field sports area, Scouts can test their marksmanship abilities on the .22 rifle range, in addition to the target and action archery ranges. In the Ecology-Conservation area, Scouts learn about the natural world in which they live. The Scoutcraft area offers Scouts the opportunity to hone skills in camping, hiking, axemanship, backpacking, wilderness survival and pioneering. The Handicraft area offers instruction in basketry, leatherwork, woodcarving and model rocketry as part of the Space Exploration merit badge. Handicrafts is also popular as the area for the exciting Heritage Reservation belt program, where Scouts can make their own customized belts and earn "brands" for various accomplishments during the week.
