This camp sees thousands of scouters a year and offers a rustic and scenic experience to scouts and their families. The camp has an abundance of opportunites for scouts to have fun, learn new skills, and hone current skills. From the winding hiking trails and the primitive adirondacks to the BB and archery ranges and scenic chapel, Stigwandish is an adventure around every corner of camp.

In order to maintain and upkeep the camp so that current and future generations can share in the beauty of Stigwandish, the Phoenix Patrol has chosen to hold a community can drive to raise funds to ensure years of enjoyment for future scouters and their families. The Phoenix Patrol is asking that each home in the community bring one or more large bags of aluminum cans to help their cause.

All money raised will be donated to the Greater Western Reserve Council and will be used to benefit Camp Stigwandish.
