"My troop has been to Ben Delatour Scout Ranch four straight years, and is upset when I mention trying another camp. There are two "sub-camps", Camp Jeffrey (where meals are served in a dining hall) and Camp Coffin (where patrol cooking is featured). There is a full merit badge program, including Aquatics, Rifle/Archery, Nature, Handicrafts and Scout Skills. "

ONE SCOUT RANCH - TWO CAMPS The Ranch is divided into Camp Jeffrey and Camp Ruth Coffin. It is one coordinated program, but two separate sleeping and eating locations. Camp Jeffrey is the dining hall camp where family style meals are served three times per day. Camp Ruth Coffin is the patrol cooking style camp where food and cooking equipment are provided so that each Scout patrol can prepare its own meals daily.

All camp sites are divided into patrol sites that vary in size. Each patrol site has at least one picnic table, a fire ring, and a varying number of two-person wall tents on wooden platforms. Each camp site is equipped with a latrine, wash stand, fire extinguisher, bulletin board, and cleaning supplies that can be checked out at the commissioner service area.

SCOUT PROGRAMS With over thirty merit badges to select from, Scouts can work toward the completion of the following: Camping, Cooking, Emergency Preparedness, First Aid, Canoeing, Astronomy, Orienteering, Pioneering, Environmental Science, Rowing, Geology, Fish & Wildlife Management, Mammal Study, Weather Soil & Water Conservation, Archery, Basketry, Rifle Shooting, Leatherwork, Metal Work, Reptile & Amphibian Study, Woodcarving, Indian Lore, Space Exploration, Archeology, Forestry, Shotgun Shooting, Bird Study, Fishing, Wilderness Survival, Climbing, Horsemanship
