Camp Sakawawin
Part of the Kittatinny Mountain Scout Reservation, located in Branchville, this camp was started in 1932.

Camp Cowaw
Opened by the Raritan Council in 1940, close to Camp Pahaquarra on the Delaware River. The camp was sold in 1970, after Middlesex and Raritan Councils merged to become the Thomas A. Edison Council. Six new troop tent sites were carved into the forest on the northeast side of Struble Road and were named Camp Cowaw, while the original camp retained the Sakawawin name and the entire operation became Kittatinny Mountain Scout Reservation.

Take some time to look at the Camp Patch history pages by clicking on each of the above patches. They are really great. If you have any of the missing patches, please think about helping us by contributing a scan, or a patch to be scanned. I don't think there is any other council with a similar set of pages.

The National Park Service has a nice website that mentions Boy Scout Camps along the Delware. When the page opens, use the search box to search for "Scout". This opens in a new window. Close the window to return.
