Camp Pirtle has facilities for a wide rage of activities from rifle, shotgun & archery ranges to a COPE course and climbing walls. Waterfront access to Lake Murval allows for a wide array of boating activities. Also available are a swimming pool, fire circle, outdoor chapel, Silver Circle Hiking Trail, 14 campsites, a Venturing base, and so much more! Camp Pirtle also offers accommodations for those with disabilities.

Boys today have a wide variety of options for spending their time. In Circle Ten Council, our Unit, District and Council level volunteers are committed to delivering your child a high-quality, safe and fun-filled program that challenges your youth, both intellectually and physically.

Scouts today learn lessons about life and the value of being a person of character and integrity. When you stop and think about it, Scouting is unlike any other youth program. Scouting fosters the development of the whole person and offers youth the opportunity to participate in activities that will help launch them on a successful course for life.
