Camps
Goose Pond Scout Reservation is a Boy Scouts of America summer camp operated by the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council. The camp is located near Lake Wallenpaupack, in Paupack Township, Pennsylvania. The camp is also a short drive from the village of Hamlin, which is located in Lake Township.
Goose Pond, the lake around which the whole camp is based, is a 65-plus acre glacial lake surrounded by hillsides of forests rich in evergreens, hardwoods, and other fauna. The total area of the camp is 542 acres (2.19 km2) which includes the lake.
Staying at the Pond places Scouts close to many of the sites on the northern end of the Pocono Plateau, Scranton, and the tri-state region.
Goose Pond Scout Reservation has been in continuous operation since 1920. Goose Pond's summer camp season runs seven weeks from late June through mid August during which more than a thousand scouts and leaders visit the camp.
