50th Anniversary of Cherokee Scout Reservation
The 2018 summer marks the 50th anniversary celebration of Cherokee Scout Reservation at its current location in Yanceyville, NC. To celebrate our 50th anniversary, we intend to mix the old with the new. We will bring back some of our most memorable skits from the past, but we will also add several new merit badges and activities to our program. We will celebrate the 50th anniversary each week of camp. Alumni staff and campers are invited to a celebration weekend, Saturday, July 7. Check the website for additional information. Several cool 50th anniversary memorabilia items will be available for pre-order with limited supplies available in the trading post at camp. We hope that you will join us for this exciting year at Cherokee!

50th Anniversary Logo
The CSR 50th anniversary logo consists of a bold red number 50 with a gold border. Located in the center of the zero is the 1968 summer camp patch – this is the first summer camp patch used at Cherokee Scout Reservation. Our 40th anniversary patch, and many other celebratory patches, include elements from the 1968 summer camp patch. The use of the 1968 summer camp patch connects us to our history and the Scouts who camped at Cherokee before us. |
