Dan Beard Camp is eleven wooded campsites situated on the Southwest side of Burnt Hope Lake at Forestburg Scout Reservation. In this setting, Scouts and Scouters alike will truly experience the patrol method in action. Scouts cook their own meals and clean up after themselves. It is here that Scouts can really put their Scout skills to the test. Dan Beard campers take pride in doing it themselves.

Scouts and Scouters will camp in typical Boy Scout canvas tents, which are set atop wooden platforms. These tents are provided and already set up. In each tent, there are two steel spring cots for your comfort. It is recommended that each camper bring some type of sleeping pad to place between the cot and his sleeping bag. Cot springs may puncture air mattresses. For this reason, they are not recommended.

After arriving on Sunday, each Patrol in Dan Beard Camp will need to go to the Commissary at Rogosin Lodge and check out all of the equipment needed to conduct the cooking program in their patrol site. This equipment includes cook kits, utensil kits, wash basins, plates and personal eating utensils. Other equipment is also available on request. This equipment includes shovels, axes, bow saws and Dutch ovens. Each patrol site will have in place a half barrel, griddle, grate, picnic table, and dining fly. Each unit site has a water buffalo, which is utilized to heat wash water. The unit should supply any other equipment. We encourage each unit to bring their unit’s flag. Due to limited equipment, we will only supply equipment for the number of patrols indicated for each campsite. All Forestburg summer camp program features are available to Dan Beard Campers.
