100th Anniversary

Royaneh is an exciting week-long summer camp experience for Scouts. It is located in Marin County, with swimming, Scoutcraft, handicraft, rifle/shotgun, horseback riding, climbing, and more!

It is also a great opportunity for advancement in rank, especially for younger Scouts. If you are a new Scout, ask a Scout who has been there to tell you all about it. 

When
Our troop will be attending 2 weeks: 7/13/2025 and 7/20/2025. You can attend either or both weeks. We will go up on Sunday morning and return Saturday morning. Their program doesn't allow for partial weeks: you don't have to stay for the full week but will need to pay the full amount. 

Early Registration Deposits
A deposit of $250 is due now, and is non-refundable. The full cost will be $759 per Scout per week. Parent volunteers and Scouts who cross over from a pack this March will have later due dates. The balance is due to the troop on 3/21/2025. In the past the council has (sometimes) given us full refunds, but that isn't their stated policy. We recommend making a deposit if you are “fairly sure” your Scout will attend.

Late Registration
If you don't make a deposit but still sign up before 3/21/2025, there will be a late fee of $30, for a total of $789 per week.

Parent Volunteers
Signups for parent volunteers is in March. We need parent volunteers to help ensure Scouts are safe and supervised. At the same time, we value summer camp as a place for Scouts to gain independence, bond as a troop, and forge relationships with Scouts in other troops.

Let Adam Sweet (aka Mr. Sweet) know if you have any questions!
