Nestled between rolling hills and amongst towering pines, Camp Trexler is the perfect place for organized groups to experience the great outdoors! Trexler Scout Reservation in the beautiful Pocono Mountains, is the Northeast Region's foremost Boy Scout Camp. Trexler turned a tract of land in Monroe County into a camp for the Boy Scouts of the Lehigh County Council. The camp opened in 1928. Today,

premier attributes of this 900-acre Scout Reservation include: Separate Boy Scout and Cub Scout Resident Camps, two lakes, a pool, varied Merit Badge offerings, and an unrivaled Scouting Program. The reservation has over 25 miles of hiking and orienteering trails, as well as mountain biking trails for you to explore. Camp Trexler features one of the largest C.O.P.E. courses in the Northeast Region of the Boy Scouts of America, a unique Athletics area and an innovative new approach to earning Eagle Required Merit Badges at camp in a program we call 'Area 7'. We also have features for age-specific groups such as the First Year Camper Program (OFC), the Older Boy Program, and many program offerings for Scout Leaders.

On May 18th we welcome the community to come join us at Camp for a day of Fishing!
https://www.camptrexlerpoconos.com/angling-for-all

We’re looking for this to be a relaxing day down at the newly renovated Lake Trexler Waterfront where kids can learn to fish and the community can spend some time outdoors this Spring!

We’ll have some staff on hand to help out newcomers to the fishing world, and we’ll also be giving away some collectible Camp stickers for various things!

Scouting America members can also take the opportunity to earn the Disabilities Awareness Merit Badge, and are encouraged to follow up down at the lake afterwards!

This past weekend, Camp Trexler Alumnus & Commissioner, Don Hausman passed away.

Don Hausman spent many summers here at Camp welcoming campers, and chatting away with guests as he inspected Campsites and led Camp commissioner duties.

Don's love of Camp was passed down to his son, Andy, and his grandson Jacob, who you can still find giving back to Camp to this day.

We've included a copy of one of Don's favorite Camp songs - "Camp Trexler", which he enjoyed singing with the hope of keeping old songs alive and well for future generations.

We're sure that somewhere, Don, Bob, Daryl, and many other scouters are regaling each other with camp stories while sipping a warm cup of coffee.

"Until we meet again".

Service info: Saturday 3/22
Viewing at St. John’s church in Allentown (37 South 5th Street ) from 0900-11:00. Service starts at the church 11:00. Interment at Cedar Hill.

To all who came out to our 2024 Camp Trexler Holiday Celebration, we are so glad to welcome you as a part of the Camp Trexler community!

Over 250 members of the local community and volunteers joined in the seasonal celebration here at Camp Trexler this weekend, and we couldn't be happier with how everything went!

From cozy campfires, crafts, photos with Santa, to tractor rides around Camp, we had a blast welcoming you all to Camp.

We'll have some more photos and we'll announce the winners of the Trim-a-Tree contest in the coming days, but as our staff and volunteers take a well deserved rest, we wanted to give a quick "thank you!" to all who made this event possible.

What was your favorite part of the celebration?
