Winter Camp 2025
Welcome to 2025 Winter Camp – Southern Chillin’!
We are excited about your Troop attending our 2025 Winter Camp at Camp Edgewood!
Winter Camp is an exciting mix of merit badge classes and activities before the Thanksgiving holiday starting at on November 21 and ends on November 25. This allows units to camp together using the Troop and Patrol method to accomplish their goals under their own leadership. An excellent Camp Staff provides program help, guidance, and supervision in the areas of Wilderness Survival, Nature, Rifle, and Engineering, along with many other specialty merit badge subjects.
