Horace A Moses Scout Reservation

The Moses Scout Reservation is 1600 acres of Scouting opportunity! The Reservation has sites for troop tenting, adirondack shelters, and cabins available for rental from Labor Day to Memorial Day (see links below for further information). Moses is located in Russell, MA, approximately 25 minutes from Exit 3/Westfield of the Massachusetts Turnpike.

The camp includes its own 90 acre lake and extensive wilderness trails. H.A. Moses is likely to be the only Scout Reservation in New England with a Blacksmith Shop open year 'round for troops to enjoy! (Training for unit leaders is available every Monday evening of summer camp)

During the summer months, the Reservation is home to exciting summer camp programs for Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts (see Camps). H.A. Moses is an outstanding facility for our summer camps: it boasts a COPE course and climbing wall, rifle, shotgun, archery, and field archery ranges, and a waterfront with sail boats, kayaks, canoes and row boats.

Summer camp at Horace A Moses is accredidated by the Boy Scouts of America: the camp has received perfect inspection scores by the National Camp Visitation team for more than TEN STRAIGHT YEARS (we stopped counting!)!

There are two sets of adirondack shelters, both located near the lake in the Camp Woronoak section of the reservation. Winterized cabins are located in both the Camp Woronoak and Camp Knox areas. And with 1600 acres, there's probably a place for your unit to set up tents, including backbacking to Camp Frontier.
