History of Treasure Mountain Scout Camp
Treasure Mountain Scout Camp was established in the late 1930s in beautiful Teton Canyon, at the western base of the Teton Range.
The camp became one of eastern Idaho’s best-known Boy Scout destinations, welcoming generations of young Scouts for outdoor adventures, wilderness education, and leadership development.
Originally associated with the Teton Peaks Council, the camp later became part of the Grand Teton Council following a council merger in 1992.
Surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery, Treasure Mountain offered access to hiking destinations including Table Rock, Alaska Basin, and Devil’s Staircase.
For decades, Scouts developed skills in camping, hiking, fishing, wilderness survival, teamwork, and leadership.
