BUTTE CREEK SCOUT RANCH
Welcome to the wild, wild west! The moment each Cub Scout steps onto Main Street and lays eyes on the old frontier town of Butte Creek, he or she will find it easy to imagine themselves as part of the wild west. Butte Creek has a western town Main Street, and each day the mail is delivered by the Pony Express.
HOOTENANNY PARTY & STREET SHOW
Participate in the “hootenanny,” a party on Main Street featuring games, a moseying contest and includes a special visit from Butte Creek’s very own sheriff. Enjoy a weekly Street Show for the entire family that’s a walk-through the history of the American West.
NEW CAMPSITES, WASH STATIONS & FLUSHING OUTHOUSES
Following the 2020 wildfires that destroyed nearly all of Butte Creek’s campsites, donors responded immediately, allowing us to rebuild all of our campsites for Summer Camp (See the Full Story).
Meanwhile, we have new wash stations and flushing outhouses for a cleaner experience for kids and families. (Remember: this is a working horse ranch, so you are guaranteed to get a dirty too! But this is where Cub Scouts go to get GRIT!)
ACCOMMODATIONS
Each pack stays in a campsite identified by different “brands.” The brands are Setting Sun, Lazy B, Yellow Rose, Happy River, Circle T, 2 of Hearts, Flying J, Rocking K, and the newest site, Walking 3. Meals are served in a large full service dining hall.
CAMP BALDWIN
Renowned as a high-adventure Scout camp, Camp Baldwin delivers extreme outdoor programs to Scouts in the scenic Mt. Hood National Forest. Hidden among tall evergreen trees and surrounded by wildlife, Camp Baldwin offers horseback riding, mountain biking, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, windsurfing, mountain boarding among other outdoor experiences.
Camp Baldwin is the ideal destination for a snow adventure for winter campers. Snow camping and cross-country skiing are popular activities among troops as they enjoy thousands of acres of surrounding forest and nearby cross-country trail systems throughout the winter months.
HORSEMANSHIP PROGRAM
Sign-up for fun and exciting horse rides and venture into the Mt. Hood National Forest. Older Scouts can participate in the “Wrangler-in-Training” program called CL Advanced Wrangler to learn advanced horse skills and assist the wranglers throughout the week as they prepare horses for rides.
CAMP CLARK
You and your family can enjoy 2.5 miles of beachfront, trails, and state park-like amenities plus private showers and restrooms.
