Heard Scout Pueblo
Private
Heard Scout Pueblo is the Grand Canyon Council's metropolitan Scouting camp, a 500-acre property in the Sonoran Desert at the northern boundary of South Mountain Park near 20th Street and Baseline Road in Phoenix, with adobe-style buildings and trails running back into the mountain. Every summer it hosts the council's Cub Scout Day Camp for youth in kindergarten through 5th grade, plus shooting sports, and it provides camping for Cub Scout packs and Scouts BSA troops through the year.

★★★★★Micah ShaefferThis is a place of gathering for the Boys and Girls in the BSA. They learn skills together in a coed program rooted in pioneer and woodcrafts skills. Beyond that they learn leadership and team building skills with Merit Badges, Shooting Sports, and over night camping are offered for various events.
★★★★★Nathan Sherman - AZ RealtorVery nice campground. Kind of noisy being so close to the road and neighborhood. The Cub Scouts enjoyed shooting BB guns and playing all around the camp site.
★Eric SolveskyMy daughter was attending a summer camp here until I saw the condition of the pool that they had kids between the ages of 5 and 10 swimming in every day. I immediately puller her out and called the health department. The health department instructed them that no one can be in the pool unless they can see the drain. Aside from that, there was ZERO security at pickup time. The kids are turned loose to anyone that shows up to take them.
★★★★★Sunny VakkalankaCamped here during January for two nights, amazing experience. First off, it's different because there aren't too many bugs. Other than a couple of house flies and some ant hills, the campsite was really nice regarding bugs. Next, the views were breath-taking, especially the Phoenix lights at night. Lastly, the rifle shooting is loads of fun, especially the feel of competing with the rest of my troop. The rifle shooting even has an open shoot every month where scouts can get the rifle shooting MB/NRA qualifications.
★★★★★Brian DGreat views of the valley from South Mountain. Camping is fair, there is a water spigot at all sites. Nice amphitheaters, shooting range, and pool. Only down side is camping is so close to the road, you hear cars all night.
