The McKee Scout Reservation has much to offer, including year-round camping, hiking trails, and a well-stocked lake with catfish, bass and bluegill. We also serve as an excellent area for training and volunteer work for not only Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, but corporations and other youth organizations as well. For the nature observer, we are a wildlife refuge with many animals such as Canada Geese, Wild Turkey and Whitetail Deer. Our main program focus comes during the summer season when we host hundreds of Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts from Kentucky and across the country for a week of fun and adventure at summer camp. Summer camp offers boys an opportunity for excitement, advancement within the Scouting program, and personal development in beautiful and relaxing surroundings. Scouts are able to participate in aquatics, ecology, scout craft and handicraft, earning merit badges along the way. We also offer our “Baden Powell" program to teach many of the basics to younger Scouts. For the older boys we have an excellent C.O.P.E. and Climbing program with a low and high course and climbing and sailing programs in the nearby Red River Gorge and Cave Run Lake. For the Cub Scouts and their families, it’s Cub Adventure Week, or one of our Parent Pal weekends.
