Ransburg Scout Reservation
Private
Scouts BSA overnight summer camp on 624 acres along Lake Monroe, inside the Hoosier National Forest about 15 minutes from Bloomington. Seven week-long resident sessions each summer draw roughly 3,600 Scouts, who work through 17 program areas ranging from aquatics and shooting sports to communications and ATV adventures, staying in camp with a dining hall, health lodge and trading post. Established in 1966, it is the destination Scouts BSA camp of the Crossroads of America Council; campers attend with their troop rather than enrolling individually.

★★★★★Carl GoffExcellent Scout Camp, Nice and peaceful for hiking. Far from light pollution for excellent star gazing and watching meteor showers. Biggest hit is "Fossil Beach".
