Skymont Scout Reservation
Scouts BSA Summer Camp
2024 BSA Nationally Accredited Camp
Skymont Scout Reservation is located on the Cumberland Plateau on the eastern edge of middle Tennessee. Our camp encompasses over 2200 acres with waterfalls, scenic overlooks, caves and wooded forest. The footprint of our camp allows us to get to know your Scouts while still providing extensive hiking and off-site opportunities for older members. Skymont is a traditional Scout camp. Our staff provides quality merit badge instruction while introducing your Scouts to the outdoor classroom we know as Scouting. Our staff will welcome you into our family with fun, games, and delicious camp meals along with something for everyone. Our merit badge offerings include 11 Eagle-required options and 14 S.T.E.M.-related merit badges. We offer all levels of programming. Our merit badge program runs Monday through Thursday, with Friday reserved for make-up time, special events, and camp-wide games.
