Delmont Scout Reservation Introduce
Delmont Scout Reservation, located at 5505 Upper Ridge Rd, Pennsburg, PA 18073, holds a significant history within the Campgrounds & RV Parks category, deeply intertwined with scouting traditions. While primarily known for its past role in scouting activities, the location evokes a sense of nostalgia and connection to over a century of scouting experiences.
Based on past visitor recollections, the environment of Delmont Scout Reservation fostered a strong connection to the outdoors. Activities such as rappelling down Castle Rock, exploring the pioneer cabin, and observing nature (like picking tadpoles from an abandoned pool) were part of the experiences offered. The area also hosted events like Klondike derbies and gatherings at the lodge, remembered for its large propane heater.
Leader training programs held at Delmont Scout Reservation in the past emphasized outdoor skills and scouting principles, with activities now sometimes referred to as "bushcraft." The lessons learned at this location were considered valuable and long-lasting by those who attended.
While the reviews primarily focus on historical experiences and the spirit of scouting, they highlight the enduring impact of the location on those who visited.

Many memories... You can feel the spirits of 100 years of scouting there... I remember repelling down Castle Rock... I remember The pioneer cabin. Picking tadpoles out of the abandoned pool. Klondike derbies... The shoe swami... Nights at the lodge with the giant propane heater going.
I was there in the late 60s for leader training. It was an amazing place which taught so much about scouting and the outdoors. I learned so much in those two weeks. Now the outdoor part is called bushcraft like it's something new. Most of what I learned there I still use every day.
I love this place, and spend a lot of time here. Intro to Outdoor Leadership Skills, Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation, Wood Badge, National Youth Leadership Training—this is the go-to place!
Wonderful open space, reservation Rangers we’re great to deal with.
Lots of great memories at Camp Delmont both with Troop 73, Bridgeport and as a member of the camp staff 1965-68.
