Bucktail Council to announce COVID-19 procedures to keep everyone safe at Spirits at Mountain Run Fundraiser

The Bucktail Council will announce a COVID-19 health safety plan to keep our guests at Camp Mountain Run safe for the Spirits at Mountain Run fundraiser. On Monday, July 8th and 20th the Health & Safety Committee presented to the Council Camping Committee and the Executive Board, respectively, a plan for the camp to keep our guests safe during future events. (As you know, the camp cancelled Cub Scout and Scouts BSA summer camp this year due to the restrictions from COVID-19.) This plan will be finalized soon and will then be applied to the Spirits at Mountain Run fundraiser.

SAFE Restart Scouting Checklist - Safety Guidance

As always, the safety of our Scouts, volunteers, employees and communities is our top priority. The Restart Scouting Checklist has been developed to assist you, your units and chartered organizations plan for a SAFE return to in-person Scouting activities. This checklist outlines several minimum guiding protocols that adult leaders/volunteers must consider while working with local and state health departments, local councils, chartered organizations, and Scouting families on when and how to resume meetings, service projects, camping and all other official Scouting activities.

New Camp Mountain Run Facilities Rental System!

Camp Mountain Run has a new state of the art Facility Rental System for your use. We have migrated all of our reservations to the new system and it is up and running! While the system is very intuitive, we have posted 3 short orientation videos on how to use the system. We are very happy to be able to serve your needs and this solution has been thoroughly reviewed by our council and many others as one of the best camp reservation systems out there.

We offer an email based form of contact, called MailChimp. You can join our email list by clicking on the “Join Email List”. We do our best to not overwhelm you with emails and send only related emails to your interests. We do not sell our list to any other third parties.
