Spending Money: In addition to the money for the trading post, which carries everything from camping equipment to snacks, sweatshirts & hats, scouts should also plan on expenses for the following merit badges: Art, Leatherwork, Woodcarving, Basketry, Art, Archery ($3-12), Rifle Shooting ($15), Shotgun Shooting ($25), Golf ($20-30), Scouts may also wish to purchase other items for merit badges they are completing.

Visits: Visitors are always welcome at any of our camps. Please check in at the Administration Building. No vehicles are allowed beyond the main parking lot. Visitors should not be in any campsite without specific invitation from that troop and are to depart from camp by Family members may only spend evenings in the Family Camp.
The Sunday and Friday night campfires may be of particular interest to you. It is requested that you plan to arrive on one of these afternoons. During the afternoon you can tour our camp program area and your child’s troop site.
Visitors are welcome to join their scouts for dinner for a fee of $6.00 per meal. We will need to know in advance how many guests we will have so food may be prepared for the correct number.

Mail: Scouts will be encouraged to send postcards and letters home and parents are encouraged to write their child at camp.  Please use the following address when sending letters to campers.
Scout’s Name, Troop #
Cuyuna Scout Camp
PO Box 250
Crosslake, MN 56442

Phone: A frequent question from parents is how to reach their child. Please write; don’t call unless it is an emergency (phone calls encourage homesickness). Remember, there is no telephone next to your scout’s tent, and the phone in camp is for emergencies only. (218) 692-3612.
