A LETTER FROM
THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR
Scouts and Scouters,
In its 57th year of bringing the Scouting community together, Rainbow Scout Reservation is returning to
“Rewind in ‘25” to continue our longstanding tradition of excel lence in outdoor fun, personal growth, and commitment to Scouting’s values.
As we take a look through the decades of pop culture and RSR, we invite you to participate in a variety of al l new themed programs along side our classic lineup.
In my now six years as a staff member I have pined for the opportunity to serve as program director at what I will personal ly affirm is the finest camp in our program. In your time with us, you have the opportunity to leave a changed person. This is because RSR consistently holds a balance of timeless traditions with innovative programs. In the coming year, you are returning to a camp where you can count on a warm meal made with care, a boisterous campfire that is chaotic in al l the right ways, and a staff that caters to the needs of each individual scout. Beyond that, you wil l receive the camp experience in new ways with an expanded Handicraft program to set the groundwork for real life trades, an aquatics area that wil l take you beyond the waterfront to our properties most scenic views, and a Scoutcraft area that wil l fuse the skil ls of the backcountry with the vision of summits not yet mounted.
Camp is where Scouting lives. This summer, we invite you to embrace al l that Scouting has to offer at Rainbow Scout Reservation. Come make yourself at home.
Yours in Scouting,
Kyle R. Land
Program Director | Rainbow Scout Reservation
