  • Contact Us for information, or to request a specific badge class!​

We can offer the following Boy Scout Eagle Badges:

  • Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, Citizenship in the World, Cooking, Personal Management


Camping, Campfires and other Events:

  • Weis offers facilities for Scout campfire circles, overnight camping and other gatherings. In addition to a large camping area and a firecircle with seating, we have a covered pavilion with picnic tables, a gaga ball pit, and a large recreation field. Contact Us for more info or to reserve!
  • Please do NOT bring any outside firewood, as this may contribute to the spread of destructive invasive insects. Three recently introduced insects – Emerald ash borer, Asian longhorned beetle, and Sirex woodwasp – are wood-infesting species that can be transported long distances in firewood. Once transported into new areas they can become established and kill local trees. There is an ample supply of firewood and kindling onsite. 
  • Be sure to review our Ground Rules and Camping & Campfire Policies before reserving, and be sure to follow them once onsite


Service Projects:

  • Completed:  Local Scout groups have completed several projects including: a new information kiosk and a roof for an older kiosk, new picnic tables, parking lot and grounds cleanup, and flower bulb planting, building and installing bat houses, and building a gaga ball pit.
  • Future:  Upcoming projects include restoring the outhouses and camping sites, preparing the rustic cabins for use, building more picnic tables.
