Camp Royaneh

Every spring we spend a weekend at Royaneh helping to prepare the camp for summer. This is a great camping trip for new Scouts. It’s easy drive-in camping with no hiking. If you’ve never been to Royaneh and want to get a sense of it before committing to a week of summer camp , this is that opportunity. You’ll also meet Scouts from troops all over the Bay Area.

If you’re a seasoned Scout who’s been to Royaneh before, this is an opportunity to give back.

Counts as two camping nights, with opportunities for merit badge and rank requirements sign offs.
