About Treasure Valley:

Since its founding in 1926, Treasure Valley Scout Reservation (TVSR) has been a renowned leader in innovative outdoorsmanship. For nearly a century, the camp has provided an exciting program for which Scouts can build their adventure. In addition to Scout programs, the Reservation continues its commitment to Scouting methods and innovation through the addition of our 6 and 2 Megawatt solar farms, providing sustainable energy to the local community, installation of solar lighting in campsites, replacement of worn shingle-roofs with lasting metal ones, and more. “Treasure Valley East”, on the eastern side of Browning Pond, is home to our Scout Resident Camp. There are many campsites complete with solar powered lighting systems courtesy of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, several shooting sports ranges, the Carr Waterfront, and many other program areas. In addition, TVSR is open year-round for
Council and District events as well as rentals to Scouting Units and other non-profits. We offer several buildings as rental opportunities for units looking for an outdoor location with ample space and resources. Based on availability we also offer many of our summer campsites for rent as well. In addition to summer camp and Scouting activities throughout the year, TVSR provides the venue for a variety of events and activities for non-Scouting groups and is available for rental where applicable.
