Camp Bowman
Private
Camp Bowman is a Scouts BSA overnight camp on Lake Merriweather at the Goshen Scout Reservation in the mountains west of Staunton, Virginia. It is the reservation's only patrol-cooking camp, where each patrol prepares its own meals at its campsite. The Bowman Brigade program helps first-year Scouts earn merit badges and rank requirements alongside waterfront and traditional Scouting activities.
