BSA Scout Camps are owned and operated by the local council of the Boy Scouts of America. Although historically Scout camps have provided support to the Boy Scout program, many Scout camps also provide day and residential programs for Cub Scouts.

Depending on your local area, most Scout camps provide a varied aquatics program, including some of all of the following: swimming, lifesaving, canoeing, rowing, small-boat sailing. A few local Scout camps offer organized sail training programs or week-long cruising experiences. Additionally, the Florida Sea Base offers a varied aquatics-focused program that includes sailing, scuba diving, and out-island adventures in the Florida Keys
