Scouts at summer camp at Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation

Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation

The premier Scout camp in the midwest

Welcome to the Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation, the premier Scout camp in the midwest. Located on the Osage Arm of the Lake of the Ozarks near Laurie, Missouri, our 450-acre facility features 1.5 miles of pristine shoreline, just one hour south of Jefferson City.

Camp Hohn, our 50+ year-old facility, is home to thirteen year-round campsites and the world-class Sinquefield Invention Campus. Whether your Scouts are swimming at the waterfront, forging at the blacksmith shop, climbing our COPE course, or earning merit badges, LOTOSR offers an unforgettable Scouting experience.

With 80+ merit badges and activities each summer — including 19 STEM programs at the four-building Sinquefield Invention Campus — LOTOSR is one of the most comprehensive camp programs in the country. The reservation also hosts off-season workshops in spring and fall, and has earned five consecutive BSA Camp Excellence awards for program quality.
