Each year, Troop 456, plans a week long summer camp experience at nearby S-F Scout Ranch in Farmington, MO or at a Scout Ranch out of the St. Louis Greater St. Louis Area. The camp experience is the highlight of the Scouting year. Camp includes an almost endless amount of merit badge opportunities, swimming, fishing, cooking, canoeing, shooting sports, water sports, leadership and exploration. It is a time for Scouts to interact with the Scouting program, the outdoors, and especially a time to "hang-out" with each other.
