Camping and outdoor programs have been at the heart of Scouting for more than 100 years.  The Northern Lights Council is committed to providing excellent outdoor programs for youth of all ages at our unique council properties. We offer year-round outdoor programs to help youth challenge themselves and grow into leaders.  Our programs use the natural surroundings to contribute to the physical, mental, spiritual, and social growth of youth.

Camp Registration Help

Did you know you can enable parents to fill in details, make payments, and even signup for classes as part of camp registration? This makes registration easy and simple for leaders. Look for the parent portal guide for parents to help them.

Check out this video and share it with parents.

Multi-Unit Campout Form

If you intend to hold an overnight event that welcomes registered members of more than one chartered partner then this form must be submitted prior to the event.

Chartering organizations play an important role in the program and activities for their chartered units. Chartering organizations promote well-planned unit program for the units they charter and encourage their units to have active outdoor unit programs. Chartering organizations are not authorized to plan, promote, or deliver programs for units outside of their charter.

It is the role of councils to plan long-term or resident camps and the role of councils or districts to plan camporees (short-term camps) and other outings following National Camp Accreditation Program standards. Units with different chartered organizations that wish to hold activities together must have council approval.

If 3 or more units from different chartering partners are camping 1 or more nights, it will be considered a district event, and short-term camp standards will apply. We (NLC) will help educate, train and guide units on this process. The link below serves as the Northern Lights Council’s form to obtain council permission.  Please wait until a Council representative responds to your request before promoting your event.
