About Us

While we started as a small group of Millenials and Generation X'ers, our  group has expanded to become a team of highly motivated Scouters, former Scouters and Scout parents from around the country.   We are all committed to improving the Three Harbors Camp experience to a level that will create life long memories for our scouts as well as be financially sustainable.  This plan is based on an intial two-year deferment on the council's decision to close LeFeber Northwoods Camps, which would allow our team to make important changes to promotion and program that would make a large impact for a relatively small investment.  If we are successful, we have a full 5 year plan that would focus on more capital intensive projects and a far reaching fundraising effort.

Our team is growing everyday, if you have ever cared about camping in the Northwoods as a Boy Scout, then we need you.  Join us and help perserve this important attribute of Three Harbors Scouting for generations to come.
