Located in Gotham Bay on the East side of Lake Coeur d’Alene in Northern Idaho. Easton’s defining feature is our amazing waterfront with its beautiful view of Lake Coeur d’Alene and our extensive and unique aquatics program.

Easton strives to be the premier aquatics camp of the Scouting America, by offering nine different aquatics merit badges, many additional aquatics certifications and awards, as well as advanced aquatics programs for youth who have already completed these merit badges.

In addition, Camp Easton offers a variety of programs in shooting sports, nature, scout-craft, first-year scouting and more!

Register for Summer Camp - Camp Easton Idaho

Parents, please also see important dates and deadlines below. This year's summer camp will include a round trip flight and so it will be imperative that all deadlines and responsibilities are met to ensure that all scouts have the opportunity to attend and avoid unnecessary costs that parents may be held responsible for. To cut costs, the troop will need to book flights well in advance of summer camp.  As of now, we expect the cost of summer camp (camp, classes, ground transportation, and flight) to be $1250.00 per scout. 
  
Important Dates: 
  • Camp dates: July 19-25
  • Deadline for RSVP/registration on troop calendar: April 1, 2026*
  • Deadline for submitting deposit check: April 15, 2026
* The troop needs to secure our spot with the camp by April 5, 2026. 
 
Once a scout has RSVP with the troop for summer camp attendance, a refundable deposit of $500 is required and will need to be submitted to the troop by April 15, 2026.  This is only applicable to all scouts that successfully participated in the 2025 Tree Lot.  The troop will hold onto the check and not deposit it. Once your scout attends summer camp, we will return or destroy the deposit checks. Any scout who RSVP for summer camp but does not attend summer camp will lose their deposit. 
 
For new scouts that did not participate in the 2025 Tree Lot, the troop will cover 50% of the summer camp cost.  Please RSVP by April 1 and submit your payment of $625.00 by April 15. 

Any questions please contact:
