Summer Camp Update - Closed for 2020

Members of the Scouting Community, We write to you today to update you on our plans for the 2020 Scouts BSA Summer Camp season. After many conversations with key stakeholders on our Risk Management and Camping Committees, the Blackhawk Area Council has made the difficult decision to NOT host our June and July summer camp sessions this season at Canyon Camp and Camp Lowden. The Cub Scout overnight weekend (July 31, 2020-Aug 2, 2020) is still currently scheduled at this time.
