Schiff Scout Reservation

Located in the Long Island Pine Barrens is Schiff Scout Reservation in Wading River, New York. Situated within 400 wooded acres surrounding a 30-acre pond, Schiff is an ideal site for camping, aquatics, and field sports, making it the perfect home for the Council’s full program of year-round camping and activities for Scouts of all ages. The Council hosts two incredibly popular Cuborees, each spring and fall, as well as Cub Family Weekends, which feature short-term camping and an introduction to outdoor programs and activities to our younger Scouts. In Autumn, the spectacular Fall Festival Weekend draws nearly 1,000 participants and features a haunted house, field games, and more.

The Wauwepex Honor Wall was erected during the camp’s 1996 Diamond Jubilee, the wall provides a place at camp to honor and remember those who have made a positive contribution, financial or personal to the camp.

Short term camping and dining hall rental reservations are currently for the benefit of Scouting groups. Facility reservations must be made at least one week in advance using the online reservation system. Units requesting a reservation less than one week prior to rental date cannot use the online system and must contact the Council Program Center at (516) 797-7600. There is a strict no refund policy on all reservations.
