Camp Raymond and the Grand Canyon Council will provide your Scouts the greatest adventure of their Scouting experience. Camp Raymond, located between the Kaibab and Coconino National Forests, is only 30 miles from downtown Flagstaff, and is surrounded by some of the most beautiful terrain in Arizona.  

From the east meadow, the morning view of the majestic San Francisco Peaks is glorious, and often times the peaks are still covered with snow. Watch elk, pronghorn antelope, and deer graze as your day begins, then enjoy the 160+ acres of Camp Raymond with an adventure program that your Scouts will not soon forget.

Camp Raymond has 15 wonderful campsites, each with a capacity of at least 30 Scouts. Our program provides a swimming pool, handicraft ramada, full shooting sports, including shotgun shooting, Scoutcraft ramada, a great C.O.P.E. course, and a wonderful commissioner service! Special programs are available for every age Scout from 11 to 18. We promise you, your Scouts can`t get bored! Troops may eat at the central dining ramada or supply their own meals. Either way there is nothing like eating outside in this beautiful setting.

CAMP RAYMOND SITE MAP  

From Phoenix, take I-17 north to Flagstaff and I-40. Go west on I-40 to Exit 178, Parks. Go south approximately 11 miles, following the county road signs indicating the Scout Camp. Be sure to watch for deer and elk in the woods and meadows.

Surrounding Camp Raymond are miles of high country pine forests and meadow-like parks. The area teems with elk, deer, bear, and a myriad of other wildlife. Camp Raymond is located on the northern edge of Sycamore Canyon. In addition to spectacular views, the Canyon offers some fine hikes through steep ravines along sheer rock cliff faces.

Bring your hiking boots and a canteen, and be prepared to hike through some of the nicest country that Northern Arizona has to offer.


Boy Scout Summer Camp Merit Badge Opportunities -

Camp Raymond offers an open enrollment merit badge program. This program will allow boys to earn up to 3 or 4 merit badges, and will allow more flexible time for troop projects and programs as well.

Open enrollment requires no preregistration for classes. It only requires a knowledge of what merit badges a boy wishes to take. Review the list of merit badges available at Camp Raymond, then begin work on the prerequisites that can not be completed at camp. (Prerequisites are listed in the Camp Raymond Troop Leaders Almanac) Make sure that all merit badges are begun by Wednesday. Merit badge counselors may restrict enrollment after Wednesday to ensure the opportunity to complete all badges.

 A special Merit Badge application form has been designed for the Camp Raymond Summer Camp Program. Download the form and print the number of forms your unit will need this summer.
