Located in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, the 1400-acre and 2000-foot altitude, Onteora Scout Reservation (or OSR) is affectionately referred to by those who have experienced the camp as "Land in the Sky." Upon arrival at OSR, you will be met with a traditional greeting of "Welcome Home."
Boy Scouts of different rank and age will have a wide variety of programs to choose from. While OSR is rooted in tradition, its programs are developed with the needs of today's scouts and leaders in mind.
The Theodore Roosevelt Council's priority is to provide a top notch resident camping experience at OSR supported by a well trained staff committed to exceptional customer service, great food, a variety of program and well maintained facilities.
Troop 71 will be attending Onteora Scout Reservation (OSR): July 17-23, 2022 (Sunday to Saturday)

- Our campsite is called Flathead. Scouts will tent in pairs, but since the site is tight this year adults should bring their own tent just in case we need them or they don't want to tent with another adult.
- Cost: $475 if paid by 5/12/21; $505 if paid after 5/15/20. (This year, the Troop is covering additional charges it normally includes.) It's very important to pay fees on time because merit badge classes will be smaller this year, so will fill up faster. When the online system goes live in May, we can register only paid Scouts. Some programs like Paintball and ATV as well as certain merit badges require additional fees, which should be included with payment. Adults are free, but must complete Youth Protection Training online by June 1st.
- Scouts must select their merit badges long before so we can register them. The merit badge schedule is below. Scouts should complete the registration form themselves. If they have questions about badges, please contact ASM Simone.
- NOTE: Scouts are expected to stay the entire week of camping unless they have received clearance ahead of time to leave early for exceptional circumstances.
- Scouts and leaders attending camp must supply BSA health/medical forms Parts A, B & C PLUS - if applicable - a letter indicating any prescription medication the Scout will take at camp. Start at our Quick Tips page before submitting any health forms.
- SUMMER CAMP FINAL PLANNING MEETING: 6/29/21 at 7:30, Plandome Village Hall
DEADLINES (earlier is appreciated): Please see click here to find the OSR refund policy.
*If you previously provided Forms A & B, only form C will be needed. MAKE M.D. APPOINTMENTS/GET PART C FORM TO M.D. NOW. Issues concerning late medical forms may have to be addressed directly with Theodore Roosevelt Council.
(First year Scouts will be registered in the Dan Beard Program for new Scouts and are strongly encouraged to take the Swimming MB, along with one or two other age appropriate badges such as woodwork, woodcarving, etc.)
