ABOUT PIPESTONE The Buckeye Council’s Pipestone Camp Honor is unique in Scouting. For nine decades, Scouts of our council camps have earned the right to wear this venerable token. The Pipestone comes to us from a location in Minnesota where Native American descendants still work to retrieve the stone from the Earth. Nowhere else can this award be earned other than at Seven Ranges Scout Reservation. Scouts who wear the Pipestone Award prize it highly and its spirit is prevalent in our camp.

Pipestone is not a required program. It is offered as part of the overall summer camp program for Scouts to utilize if they so desire. Any coercion to participate is detrimental to its values. Coercion and peer pressure are not necessary to make the program function. The requirements have been structured to appeal to the Scouts strictly on their own merits. It is something that should attract and interest the majority of Scouts and be consistent with current Scouting advancement. Scouts who work to earn the five years of Pipestone are also being encouraged toward orderly advancement in rank. The Unit leader should make sure that each member of the unit understands the camp honor requirements and is given the opportunity to participate. *Prices are subject to change prior to camp ATTEND A SECOND WEEK OF CAMP FOR ½ THE PRICE!
