The NEW Camp Tuckahoe

Outstanding Outdoor Adventures
for Scouts of All Ages

Located near Dillsburg, Pennsylvania on the York and Cumberland County border, Camp Tuckahoe has served as the council's summer camp home since 1948.  With 1,300 acres of lush wooded hills, Tuckahoe is a Scout camp rich in the purest traditions of Scout camping while offering campers of all ages outstanding challenges and adventures.

Tuckahoe has been transformed for the 21st century through $4.5 million worth of construction and renovations.  With the addition of a new dining hall, swimming pool, bath house, Cub World and many other new additions, Tuckahoe has been reshaped into one of the finest Scout camping facilities found anywhere in the United States.

More Than Just A Summer Camp,
Tuckahoe's A Year-Round Destination

Just because summer's over, there's no reason not to get your Scouts to camp when there's a camp like Tuckahoe waiting for you and your boys.  Whether it's spring, summer, winter or fall, Tuckahoe provides the ideal setting for Scouting's outdoor programs. 

Eight well-equipped cabins available for rental provide Camp Tuckahoe with indoor sleeping accommodations for 250 campers.  Beautiful wooded campsites, miles of hiking trails, and picturesque lake create a magnificent outdoor environment for Scout units, youth groups and conferences. 

Many non-Scout groups take advantage of Tuckahoe's outstanding facilities and wondrous setting for their own outdoor adventures.

Tree Thinning Scheduled for Tuckahoe

To ensure that Camp Tuckahoe remains safe for all campers and visitors,  a major tree thinning is planned for Camp Tuckahoe this fall and winter. The  Council has hired a forest consultant to mark trees for removal that pose a potential risk to campers and visitors. 

Over the past few years, thousands of dollars have been spent to remove hazardous limbs from the campsites but a substantial number of  hazardous trees  continue to develop annually.  Winter camp operation will remain open during the tree thinning.  No tree thinning will occur during the weekends while campers are present. Specific campsite availability will change each week as we clear each campsite of hazards.
