​Remarkable Programming offered at Cherokee Scout Reservation!

Cherokee Scout Reservation offers a wide variety of merit badges and activities for Scouts to enjoy while at summer camp!
  • Most of the merit badges we offer can be completed during summer camp, but some cannot. When selecting your merit badges pay attention the requirements that will not be covered or completed during summer camp.
  • Some merit badges have age restrictions.
  • All merit badges and activities have a class size maximum. We use class sizes maximums to ensure the camper to staff ratio allows for quality instruction and maximum engagement and participation by the Scout. In most cases, each merit badge is offered more than once during the day so Scouts have multiple opportunities to enroll in a specific merit badge.
  • Area directors have the right to refuse participation in a program if they are uncomfortable with the Scout’s ability to complete the program in a safe and effective manner.
  • Scouts and leaders should give attention to the difficulty rating of each merit badge and program before registering.
Difficulty Rating Description
1 Easy program – great for 1st year camper.
2 Requires more dedication – should be at least a 2nd year camper.
3 Difficult or strenuous program – should be at least a 3rd year camper.
4 More academically complicated or physically strenuous – intended only for veteran campers.
