If you would like something different for summer camp try the Medicine Mountain Scout Camp located in the heart of the Black Hills in western South Dakota. The camp consists of 160 acres surrounded by National Forest land, making it an ideal setting for hiking and camping. An eight-acre lake provides excellent swimming, canoeing, rowing, sailing, and fishing. There is an excellent aquatics program. There is patrol cooking; no dining hall. Troops need to bring their own tents and cooking gear. A family campground is across the road. Be sure to see attractions while in the area; such as Wind Cave National Park, Jewell Cave National Monument, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument, and Custer State Park. How you get there: Go north on I-25 to Cheyenne, Wyoming. From Cheyenne, you have several routes to choose from to get to Custer, SD. From Custer go north on US 385 for four miles, then west for nine miles on well-marked Forest Service Roads. There is good overnight camping on the way at Chadron State Park, 9 miles south of Chadron, Nebraska.
