The headquarters of the Connecticut Rivers Council of the Boy Scouts of America is located in East Hartford, Connecticut. The present council was formed as the result of the merger between the Indian Trails Council of Norwich, Connecticut and Long Rivers Council of Hartford, Connecticut. Now it is the largest council in the state with a youth membership of over 28,000 and a volunteer base of nearly 10,000 adults,serving for over half of the state.
The council's camps include the June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation in Ashford, Camp Mattatuck in Plymouth and Camp Workcoeman in New Hartford. See Boy Scout Camps in Connecticut, past and present below for more information on the individual camps.
The council's Order of the Arrow Lodge is the Tschitani Lodge #10.
Connecticut Rivers Council is divided into the following districts:
The camp is located in the scenic New England Town of Ashford, Connecticut. Originally opened as Camp Ashford on June 28, 1964, today the reservation occupies 1,200 acres (4.9 km2) of land and a 30-acre (120,000 m2) man-made lake named Goss Pond. The camp is located on the farm once owned by Lt. Col. Thomas Knowlton, hero of the Battle of Bunker Hill and a commander in the Continental Army. The reservation has two camps; The Stanley Black & Decker Base Camp and the Cub Country. In 1963, Eastern Connecticut Council sold Camp Quinebaug to purchase 1,200 acres (4.9 km2) property with a 25-acre (100,000 m2) lake in Ashford, Connecticut. The camp was named Camp Ashford and was officially opened on June 28, 1964. After two years of operations, the name was changed to June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation after a donation on behalf of June Norcross-Webster, of the Norcross Greeting Card Company. A large land donation was also made by the Brand Trust. The Base Camp (Ashford 1) is the home to the Boy Scout Resident camp while the Cub Country (Ashford 2) is home to Cub Scout Resident Camp, Akela Day Camp & NYLT. The reservation has been operated by three different councils: Eastern Connecticut Council of Norwich, Connecticut 1964-1971, Indian Trails Council of Norwich, Connecticut 1971-1995 and Connecticut Rivers Council of East Hartford, Connecticut since 1995. It is the largest Scout Camp in the State of Connecticut.
