Camping...

Medicine Mountain Scout Ranch
Since 1976 our camp has earned the reputation as one of the finest camps around receiving the highest level of accreditation, by the Boy Scouts of America every year since its inception. We are a year-round camping facility, so keep us in mind if your group is planning a winter excursion.

The Mission Statement of Medicine Mountain Scout Ranch is to provide a fun and rewarding experience for Scouts while maintaining the standards of the Scout Oath and Law. Using the Aims and Methods of Scouting, we will help Scouts prepare to become leaders, encourage advancement of personal and troop goals, provide a quality program, and instill a continued commitment to service and to Scouting.

Norman (Moe) Kluksdahl, Troop Committee Chairman Troop 696 - Dickinson, TX (July 2008)

Just wanted to pass along that my boys absolutely LOVED MMSR. We'd go back in a heartbeat if it were closer, and from what the program director (Ace) and the exec told us, there are hopes of even more high-adventure programs in the future. One member of our troop is hoping to convince his mom to take him on a vacation to South Dakota so he can spend at week at MMSR! The staff was wonderful, and we had a great time. As a testament to the amount of fun we had, most of the time our troop goes to resident camp, the boys are not motivated for the 'honor troop' awards. My boys were, and Troop 696 earned the White Buffalo award - the first honor troop award earned by Troop 696 in years!

If you’ve read the past reviews and been a little leery, I can only say that the camp I experienced is no way near the camp of the past reviews. Thank you for a wonderful camp. It is going to give lasting positive memories to my boys about how much fun they can have at a scout camp.

Mark Rzeznik, Assistant Scout Master Troop 63 - Waukesha, WI (June 2008)

"I am writing to thank you and your staff for the Great Job they did for Troop 63 during Week 2 of Summer Camp. The boys are still talking about their experiences. As a leader, one of my jobs is to create lasting memories that our boys will carry forever. I would highly recommend Medicine Mountain to any Scout Troop looking for adventure and to create lasting memories for both their Scouts and Scouters"

Brian “Bear” Beyer, Troop 324 - Denver Area Council (July 2007)

"I wanted to thank your Council and the Staff at Medicine Mountain Summer Camp for a great experience. The camp was great. The boys enjoyed everything that the camp had to offer. The Staff was wonderful.

I wanted to especially thank the Staff for making a special needs youth with Cerebral Palsy have an enjoyable week. He has never felt so liked and wanted. I signed him up in Scouting just two weeks prior to the trip. The Staff went above and beyond making him feel welcome. They played games with him. They even had him on their team during the camp game night. They often helped to get him from place to place and never complained. The Hawk (new Scout) program Staff was especially compliant to his needs. They made this summer probably the most memorable in his life. Next month he is going into surgery and will be in a body cast for several months. Now he has some really great memories to help him endure the time. I plan on bringing the troop back again in the future."
