Creating an account allows you to add your roster and keep that roster for future events to register quickly.

Registering For Events—For Unit Leaders

Starting a Registration: https://youtu.be/6WedI9ASv-Q
Completing a Registration: https://youtu.be/cWKUAG3H8cE

When you register for an event, you may notice that it first asks you for a Registration Contact.

This person is in charge of, or responsible for, that registration. Usually a parent or Unit Leader serves as the
Registration Contact, even if they are not necessarily attending the event.

Adding attendee information comes next, and these are all the people attending the event.

Registration Contact info is sometimes pre-filled for an adult slot since, most of the time, they are also
attending the event.

Some Registration Contact information is applied to all the attendees, like unit type and number, even though
you may not see it. For example, if you choose Troop 489 on the Registration Contact info page, that applies to
everyone on the registration unless asked specifically on an attendee. This is so you don’t have to choose the
unit type and number for each Scout.

Camp Staff

Summer camp is often one of the highlights of a Scouts BSA troop’s year-round camping program. That means that the summer camp staff plays a big part in developing and strengthening troops and, in turn, their members and leaders. Our main goal is to strengthen the troops so they operate better the other 51 weeks out of the year. It’s a big job, which is why we hire quality staff.

Campership – Scholarship Assistance Application

The Scouts BSA resident camp experience provides an excellent forum for Troop, Team, and Crew members to hone their existing skills and learn new ones all while having fun in the great Alaskan outdoors. It is a place of learning, meeting new friends, and just having fun.
Scouts BSA resident camp is an important part of every youth’s Scouting experience. It provides memorable experiences. Swimming, boating, shooting sports, mountain boards and Project COPE will provide both traditional Scouting activities and new and unique experiences. Every Scout needs to attend Scouts BSA resident camp because every Scout will be positively impacted by Scouts BSA resident camp experiences while having copious amounts of fun just not possible anywhere else.
Scouts BSA resident camp doesn’t just help the Scout. Scouts BSA resident camp will also strengthen every Troop, Team or Crew that attends. The single week spent at Lost Lake Scout Camp this summer will build the year-round program of each Scouting unit. If our goal is truly to impact more young people, then summer camp must be a part of our year-round program.

Lost Lake Scout Camp is on over 600 acres located 58.5 miles south of Fairbanks on the Richardson Highway at the end of Lost Lake Road. The camp lies between the Tanana River and Birch Lake on the beautiful 90 acre Lost Lake.

The Midnight Sun Council has taken an aggressive roll to improve the camp facilities and keep up with changing times. We now have a full-time ranger, year round dining hall facility, ADA accessible campsite, new water system, year-round classroom availability, and cabins with new and improved wood stoves. It is a wonderful setting to have an event or to just enjoy the natural beauty of Alaska.

Along with Scouts BSA Resident Camp, Lost Lake Camp is the home for the Northern Lights High Adventure Base. A nationally accredited High Adventure Base that specializes in Alaskan outdoor adventure such as, whitewater and flat water canoeing and backpacking.

It is also home to many other programs put on by Becoming an Outdoor Woman (BOW), Interior Alaska Wilderness Search & Rescue, and the Midnight Sun Flycasters to name a few.

During the off-season, Lost Lake can be rented by outside groups for camps, conferences, or other events.
