Camp Scholarships

The Hawk Mountain Council believes that all youth should have the opportunity to attend camp regardless of their social or economic background. To that end, the council camping and finance committee has established a Camp Scholarship program to help offset the cost of attending camp. Applicants are encouraged to find a way to support themselves as much as possible through fundraising and savings. If they are short, the council is happy to help. On average, over 200 Scouts receive assistance each year.

Consider making a contribution to the Hawk Mountain Council’s Camp Scholarship Fund and help a young man or women attend camp.

Scouting helps young men and women develop leadership, citizenship and personal fitness.

Learning from exemplary leaders, engaging programs, and timeless values, Scouts work to improve themselves and their communities. For many, positive attitudes and attributes learned as a youth will continue throughout life. Today’s Scouts will become tomorrow’s leaders in the trades and professions, business, education, government, and all walks of life.

You can help Scouting deliver these key values and skills for many years to come.

Encouraging gifts to the Hawk Mountain Council endowment is one of our highest priorities. A gift to endowment ensures that the council can continue to offer the outstanding programs we now have and also grow to meet the needs of our youth and community for the next 100 years and beyond.
