The Green Mountain Council is committed to providing Cub Scouts with exciting and quality programs year round. Camp Sunrise is a beautiful property nestled between Lake Sunset and Lake Sunrise in Benson, Vermont. In 1923 the Bush Family gifted over 100 acres to the Scouts of Vermont and since that time Camp Sunrise has changed the lives of thousands of Scouts young and old! If you're looking for a place to bring your unit to get some Scout activities done or if your not a scout and looking for a beautiful and relaxing place to stay, then Camp Sunrise is the place to be.
