McKee Scout Reservation

The McKee Scout Reservation is a 900 acre camping facility nestled in a 3,000 acre forest near Mount Sterling, Kentucky.

Our camp has much to offer, including year-round camping, hiking trails and a well stocked lake with catfish, bass and bluegill. We also serve as an excellent area for training and volunteer work for not only Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, but corporations and other youth organizations as well. For the nature observer, we are a Kentucky Stewardship Forest and wildlife refuge with many animals such as Canada Geese, Wild Turkey and Whitetail Deer.

Our man program focus comes during the summer season when we host hundreds of Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts from Kentucky and across the country for a week of fun and adventure at Summer Camp. Summer Camp offers boys an opportunity for excitement, advancement within the Scouting program, and personal development in beautiful and relaxing surroundings.

Scouts are able to participate in aquatics, ecology, camp craft and handicraft, earning merit badges along the way. We also offer our "Dan Beard" program to teach many of the basics to younger Scouts. For the older boys we have an excellent C.O.P.E. and climbing program with a low and high course and climbing and sailing programs in the nearby Red River Gorge and Cave Run Lake. For the Cub Scouts and their families, it's Cub Adventure Week, WEBELOS Resident Camp, or one of our Parent Pal Weekends.
