Nestled in the foothills of North Carolina lies Camp Bob Hardin, home of the Palmetto Council's Boy Scout summer camp program. The camp is located in the native land of the Cherokee nation and covers 256 acres of mountainous terrain. With two lakes and beautiful mountain views, Camp Bob Hardin boasts an Appalachian spirit for those Scouts hardy enough to seek out its mountain adventure. The camp offers a wide range of in-camp and out-of camp programs that are just as attractive to older Scouts as they are to younger ones. Activity areas include a Shooting Sports program with separate archery, shotgun and rifle ranges, a very dynamic C.O.P.E. course, Scoutcraft, handicraft and nature areas, a large activity field for soccer, ultimate frisbee, and volleyball, and twin lakes that enable a complete aquatics program.
A key element of our program is for Scouts to have individual free time and the opportunity to enjoy the natural environment of summer camp. For this reason, daily schedules are designed to ensure that each Scout has some time in which he is not involved in instructional classes or organized activities so he has time to explore our beautiful 256 acre Scout Reservation.
For complete information about our summer camp program, please review the current Leader's Guide (revised 11/05/2009).
