Carroll County loves to camp. Units attend Day Camp, Summer Camp, and High Adventure Camp. We're proud that every year many District units receive the National Camping Award. Carroll District also has a strong honor camping society with the Carroll Chapter of the Order of the Arrow's (OA) Nentico Lodge.
