Wah-Tut-Ca Scout Reservation

Wah-Tut-Ca Scout Reservation opened its gates on July 4, 1937, for its first summer season. Drawing the camp’s name from a Native American phrase meaning friends and brothers, the Massachusetts community of Greater Lowell built the camp in Northwood, New Hampshire, with the vision of creating a place where young men could go on a voyage of discovery and eagerly search for what is over there. Thousands of young people have walked down the trails, gazed at the sunsets, and set out on adventures in the camp’s 300 acres. Wah-Tut-Ca Scout Reservation tells the story of how this community developed, built, maintained, and expanded its Boy Scout camp through difficult times, including war and rationing. Now the largest camp of the Yankee Clipper Council BSA, Wah-Tut-Ca receives scouts, families, and adult scouters from more than 50 communities.
