Medicine Mountain Scout Ranch


Nestled in the breathtaking Black Hills of South Dakota, Medicine Mountain Scout Ranch has been creating unforgettable outdoor adventures and developing tomorrow's leaders since 1976., Medicine Mountain Scout Ranch is nestled in the beautiful Black Hills, surrounded by more than 1.3 million acres of Black Hills National Forest. The 160-acre ranch sits at approximately 6,100 feet in elevation, providing an outstanding setting for outdoor adventure and Scouting traditions.

The ranch features a freshwater lake, forested campsites, scenic hiking and mountain biking trails, and exciting opportunities for outdoor recreation and adventure.

Scouts can experience aquatics, archery, shooting sports, outdoor skills, campfires, nature exploration, and merit badge advancement. The camp's patrol-focused experiences help young people develop leadership, teamwork, confidence, and independence.
