Camp DuPortail is the first step in the Scouting experience with Camping. It is the home to our Outdoor Programs for Cub Scouts. During the Summer the camp offers three weeks of Day Camp, where Cub Scouts will work on advancements, swimming, archery, bb gun, craft instruction and more. Camp DuPortail will also be hosting two Cub Scout Resident Sessions and two Webelos Outpost Sessions (three day, two night program).

Camping at Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation
The Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation is a 700-acre tract of land dedicated to offering Scouts the chance to experience the beauty of the outdoors. We serve over 2,000 Boy Scouts each summer. We are proud to be involved with the Forest Stewardship Program through the state of Pennsylvania.
Camping is the great outdoor adventure of Scouting. The most crucial element of camping is that each Scout should have the opportunity that the Boy Scout Handbook promises.
Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation offers long-term camping (6 nights) to Boy Scouts from the Hawk Mountain Council as well as other visiting Councils. Our Camp operates 7 weeks during the summer with 20 Campsites available to Troops. The Scouts sleep in platform tents on canvas cots. We offer a variety of programs, merit badges and, of course, a well-stocked Scout Shop.
