2025-07-13 14:00 - 2025-07-19 10:00 (America/New_York) | Camp Wanocksett, 642 Upper Jaffrey Rd, Dublin, NH, 03444, United States
Scouts attending Camp Wanocksett with their troop or crew will register and pay through the unit. Scouts in our Provisional program who cannot attend with their unit, or who wish to attend additional weeks, may use the options below to register and pay online. Provo registration fee is $565.
Upon arrival, Scouts will pull into the parking lot and meet the provisional Scoutmasters by Memorial Lodge, the brown building right off of the parking lot. Along with any personal gear needed for the week, please have a filled out medical form ready, if not already mailed in. If you would like to mail your medical form to camp after June 15, you can do so by sending it to:
Camp Wanocksett
Attn: Camp Nurse
642 Upper Jaffrey Rd.
Dublin, NH 03444
Please label the medical form with the week that your Scout will be attending as well as the word “Provo”.
If your Scout attended an earlier week of camp this summer, we will still have their medical form on file; simply tell the Scoutmasters this when you arrive. Merit badges do not need to be pre-selected prior to arrival, as the Scoutmasters will take time to register them during the camp check-in process. All Scouts are guaranteed their first choice in badges. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out by emailing info@campwanocksett.org.

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!

Calvin E. Moore, a longtime council board member, proud Scouting supporter, and community leader, passed away on June 7, 2024. He is survived by his three children—C.J., Todd, and Chelsie—and seven grandchildren.
From an early age, Calvin was involved in the Boy Scouts of America. He was a Scout in Troop 3 Ayer and spent many summers at Camp Wanocksett as a camper. In his adult life, he and his father helped fund and build various camp structures. He was the fifth generation to run the family business, leading its expansion to multiple locations. He served on the Nashua Valley Council Executive Board, and continued on the board after a merger which formed the Heart of New England Council.
Calvin never passed up the opportunity for adventure and had a passion for many outdoor pursuits including hunting and fishing. He was a Life member of Safari Club International and served as president of the New England chapter. In honor of his commitment to Scouting and to shooting sports, Heart of New England Council is proud to rename its annual Sporting Clays Classic in Calvin’s memory.
For more information or any questions about this event, please contact Development@hnescouting.org
