Summer Camp at Mataguay Scout Ranch!
Did you leave something at camp? Click here to report it.
Join us for a summer of Scouting fun at the Mataguay Scout Ranch! This beautiful 1000 acre ranch is located in oak and pine forests, 3,200 feet above sea level in the mountains northeast of San Diego. Mataguay is a BSA accredited facility and is known as one of the Western Region's finest Scout camps!
We offer a wide range of opportunities to boost any Scout. Activities like glider and horseback rides will put the spark in any Scout, our natural climbing walls and C.O.P.E activities provide a new challenge from the normal camp, and what youth doesn't get a kick out of a shotgun? Ask us about the Track Program, which is unique to Mataguay Scout Ranch. This provides a special learning environment for Scouts to work on a collection of similar merit badges with numerous benefits.
We are committed to all Scouts attending camp which is why Mataguay Scout Ranch works hard to keep the cost of camp as low as possible, without sacrificing quality. It is our promise to you that your Scouts will have a week of camp that they will never forget.

No Troop…no problem!
Scouts who cannot attend camp with their own troop, or wish to attend for additional weeks, may attend as part of our provisional troop. The provisional troop is made up of youth from San Diego-Imperial and other councils. It is a great opportunity to meet new friends and experience summer camp in a whole new way. For more information and to register for Provisional Scout click here.
Monday Checkins
Monday check ins (at 6 am) are available.
PAYMENT & CANCELLATION POLICY
We have a NO REFUND POLICY, each payment is based on the number of campers, not named individuals. If there are any reductions in total numbers (youth or adult) after each payment due date, the unit will be responsible for the money due at the time of the cancellation, even if no payment has been made. Payments for cancelled spots are not credited to the unit balance if unit numbers are reduced. We encourage you to find a replacement if a Scout or leader needs to cancel.
Cancellation must be done in writing, please use the Update My Summer Camp Reservation Link below to add or reduce slots at camp. UPDATE MY RESERVATION
