The Eberly Scout Reservation is located mid-way between Donegal and Somerset off Route 31, one and a half miles south of Bakersville Pennsylvania in the beautiful Laurel Hill State Park. The Reservation has two camps, Camp Conestoga and Camp Buck Run. These Scout camps have been appraised as two of the best in the country. Camp Conestoga has been in operation for 72 years and Camp Buck Run has been in operation for 74 years.
Both camps are certified annually by the Boy Scouts of America to ensure that they meet the most stringent standards and are nothing less than the very best. Camps Conestoga and Buck Run receive an “A” rating each year.
All Scouts in attendance will be in the very best of hands during their stay. A National Camp School Certified Director supervises each area. Each Staff Member participates in a weeklong training program to properly prepare them for their tasks. A resident Health Officer is also on site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Nothing has been overlooked!
We have made sure that your Scouts will have a SAFE and FUN experience during their stay with us.
