Beaumont Scout Reservation is a full-service Scout Reservation with forests, fields, wetlands and lakes, sitting on 1,260 acres along the Grand River in Rock Creek, Ohio, (approximately 40 miles east from downtown Cleveland, Ohio). It began operating as a Scout Camp in 1946 and has grown into a year-round facility with camping for Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and families. It features five separate camps:

  • Camp McIntosh features 12 lodges sleeping 28-36 with full kitchens and heat and pot belly stoves. It also houses the camp's brand-new swimming pool.
  • Camp Broadbent features 11 tent campsites, a shower house, the trading post, a climbing tower, a High and Low COPE course, archery, shotgun and rifle ranges, amphitheater, health lodge and Environmental Resource Center. During April–October, an additional 8 family cabins are available with bathrooms, heat and small kitchens sleeping 6. The area also features Lake Klein, which supports fishing, boating and jet skis, offered during Summer Camp.
  • Camp McCahill features 11 tent campsites and a reception building.
  • Camp Gray (Cub World) is a separate camp within Beaumont Scout Reservation designed especially for the Cub Scout camper. The area features a Climbing Fort, Obstacle Course, Baseball Diamond, Sledding Hill, Shooting Ranges, Basketball Court, Pavilion, and Activity Center. The Cub Activity Center features a large area for inside events and crafts, as well as a full kitchen, heated and flush facilities. The Activity Center is available for unit or event rental, but is not designed for overnight accommodations. The Pavilion has picnic tables for 150 , electric lights and a fire ring on its south side. The area has both a covered Archery and BB Gun Range for Tiger Cubs to Webelos Scouts. Beginning in 2012, both ranges have electricity and lighting.
  • Beaumont Village is a family-style campground within Beaumont Scout Reservation available to Scout and non-Scout groups, with accommodations for RVs and Tents, and also contains a picnic shelter and full shower facilities.
  • The Augustus Dining Hall in Camp Broadbent is named after Cleveland businessman Ellsworth Hunt Augustus who served as tenth President of the Boy Scouts of America and contains dining facilities with a full kitchen, and a training center.

Youth Protection Guidelines for Camping Accommodations

Please note that when housing both male and female campers, separate rooms with a wall and door must be booked for each gender. Youth and adults of a single gender should also be separated by at least a temporary barrier within the same facility. See the Accommodations section on the Guide to Safe Scouting website.


Policies for Safety and Vandalism

The volunteers and staff of the Lake Erie Council have put the following policies in place to provide a safe camping experience to all campers. These are in accordance with Federal and State Laws as well the Policies of the Boy Scouts of America. Remember, our youth and our camps are in your care.

To prevent misunderstandings, you and every other group using the facilities of the Lake Erie Council are required to read and commit to these policies, as well as those outlined in the Guide to Safe Scouting.

  • No alcoholic beverage of any kind may be possessed or consumed
  • No illegal drugs including marijuana
  • Firearms, archery equipment, paint ball guns, and etc. are not permitted
  • 10 MPH speed limit; All passengers must be in a seat with a seatbelt
  • No riding on the outside of vehicles or in the beds of pick-up trucks
  • Parking in designated areas only, not along roads or next to cabins. (If you get stuck while in an unauthorized area, it will be your responsiblility to get your vehicle unstuck or towed)
  • Campers must be in their sites and quiet between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am
  • No vandalism to any camp property, building, wildlife or trees
  • No unauthorized swimming or boating activities are allowed
  • To prohibit child abuse; no initiations, hazing, or harassment will be tolerated
  • Follow the Camp Code of Conduct.

I understand as unit leader that it is my responsibility to review these policies and the Camp Code of Conduct with every group member on or before arrival at camp.

Failure to follow these policies, including being found in off limit areas or engaging in prohibited activities will result in the immediate removal of any member of the group or the entire group. ILLEGAL activities will be reported to the proper Law Enforcement agency. We understand we will be charged for any loss or damage caused by group members. We agree to pay any and all such charges, which will include labor and materials.


Barriers to Abuse

  1. Two-deep leadership on all outings required. Two registered adult leaders, or one registered leader and a parent of a participating Scout or other adult, one of whom must be 21 years of age or older, are required for all trips and outings. There are a few instances, such as patrol activities, when the presence of adult leaders is not required and adult leadership may be limited to training and guidance of the patrol leadership. With the proper training, guidance, and approval by the troop leaders, the patrol can conduct day hikes and service projects. Appropriate adult leadership must be present for all overnight Scouting activities; coed overnight activities—even those including parent and child—require male and female adult leaders, both of whom must be 21 years of age or older, and one of whom must be a registered member of the BSA. The chartered organization is responsible for ensuring that sufficient leadership is provided for all activities.
  2. One-on-one contact between adults and Scouts prohibited. One-on-one contact between adults and youth members is not permitted. In situations that require personal conferences, such as a Scoutmaster’s conference, the meeting is to be conducted in view of other adults and youths.
  3. Separate accommodations for adults and Scouts required. When camping, no youth is permitted to sleep in the tent of an adult other than his or her own parent or guardian. Councils are strongly encouraged to have separate shower and latrine facilities for females. When separate facilities are not available, separate times for male and female use should be scheduled and posted for showers. Likewise, youth and adults must shower at different times.
  4. Privacy of youth respected. Adult leaders must respect the privacy of youth members in situations such as changing clothes and taking showers at camp, and intrude only to the extent that health and safety require. Adults must protect their own privacy in similar situations.
  5. Inappropriate use of cameras, imaging, or digital devices prohibited. While most campers and leaders use cameras and other imaging devices responsibly, it has become very easy to invade the privacy of individuals. It is inappropriate to use any device capable of recording or transmitting visual images in shower houses, restrooms, or other areas where privacy is expected by participants.
  6. No secret organizations. The Boy Scouts of America does not recognize any secret organizations as part of its program. All aspects of the Scouting program are open to observation by parents and leaders.
  7. No hazing. Physical hazing and initiations are prohibited and may not be included as part of any Scouting activity.
  8. No bullying. Verbal, physical, and cyber bullying are prohibited in Scouting.
  9. Youth leadership monitored by adult leaders. Adult leaders must monitor and guide the leadership techniques used by youth leaders and ensure that BSA policies are followed.
  10. Discipline must be constructive. Discipline used in Scouting should be constructive and reflect Scouting’s values. Corporal punishment is never permitted.
  11. Appropriate attire for all activities. Proper clothing for activities is required. For example, skinny-dipping or revealing bathing suits are not appropriate in Scouting.
  12. Members are responsible for acting in accordance with the Scout Oath and Scout Law. All members of the Boy Scouts of America are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the principles set forth in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Physical violence, theft, verbal insults, drugs, and alcohol have no place in the Scouting program and may result in the revocation of a Scout’s membership

Fridges and Camping: At Beaumont Scout Reservation there are fridges in all troop lodges. At Firelands Scout Reservation there is a fridge in Frohman. Please come prepared with coolers for food storage. Ice is available for purchase if needed at Beaumont and Firelands Scout Reservation.

 

Outdoor Ethics: 

Each of us plays a vital role in protecting our camps. As we spend time outdoors, in the natural world and in the wilderness, it’s important to be conscious of the effects our actions may have on plants, animals, other people, and even entire ecosystems. Following the Leave No Trace Seven Principles, summarized below, can help us minimize those impacts. They can be applied anywhere, at any time, while taking part in recreational activities.

 

  1. Plan Ahead and Prepare - A Scout is prepared to know the weather plans, prepare the correct amount of food, and be aware of anything special concerns. 
  2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces - If driving in camp make sure to stay on the roads. While hiking there are trails that can be used but it is fun and exciting to explore. 
  3. Dispose of Waste Properly - At the end of your stay at camp make sure to inspect your campsite of any garbage 
  4. Leave what you find - We love that you enjoyed your time at camp that you want to take it with you, however we ask that all trees, rocks, plants, stay at camp. 
  5. Minimize Campfire Impacts - All campsites will have a campfire ring for your convenience. Please do not move that location unless it becomes unsafe. After your stay at camp please help the next group coming by restocking some of the firewood needed. 
  6. Respect Wildlife - We have many wildlife friends in camp. We ask that you kindly observe them from a safe distance. If you have any concerns about the wildlife please contact your camp hosts. 
  7. Be Considerate of other visitors. There will be other visitors at camp with you at the same time. A scout is courteous and kind to everyone they meet.

Cancellation Policy Back to Top

Refund Policy of the Lake Erie Council

Lake Erie Council provides Council programs, high adventure camps and other camping experiences to the Scouts and leaders in its service area. These opportunities require Council staff to send deposits to the sponsoring camp, acquire needed supplies and produce mailings to campers and others so the Council sponsored experiences are rewarding and convenient for the Scouts and leaders in our Council. Fees are usually paid in advance of the event and to ensure the Council can provide the best service to the Scouts the following refund policies will apply. Participants are not considered registered for any event/activity until payment in full has been received.
