Cabins

Pine Ridge Scout camp has three cabins available for year-round use. Musgraves and Troop Lodge are available to Webelos dens from April through September.

Musgraves Lodge: This cabin houses 18 with bunks and is equipped with a refrigerator and wood-burning stove. Water and a latrine are outdoors. Units will need to provide their own wood, food, cooking utensils and stove.

Troop Lodge: The smaller of the cabins, this cabin has bunks for 8 with room for more on the floor. It also has a wood-burning stove and a refrigerator and uses the same outdoor water and latrine as Musgraves Lodge. Units provide their own wood, food, cooking utensils and stove.

Bailey Lodge: Come enjoy this dining hall available for meetings and Courts of Honor. It is not available for overnight stays. The hall is heated by a furnace, but units can also take advantage of the beautiful fireplace. Water, flush bathrooms and a full kitchen are available. A large attached pavilion allows units to extend their activities outside.

This large open-air pavilion is available to all units and makes a great meeting site.
