KOA Loves BSA and GSUSA
Posted by admin under: camps .
Another contribution from Mrs. Admin is this find from KOA, the friendly folks with the campground in the middle of town. KOA is offering discounts to Scout groups. We’ve stayed at KOA with Scouts and as a family and thoroughly enjoyed it both ways. It’s more expensive than individual sites at a state campground, but that means that it’s also available more often than a state site. With the Scout discount you might look at KOA when you’re backed into a corner and realized you should have made your reservation months ago or you want to stay at a location with more amenities than your typical state or private campground. You can even get cabins. Our Girl Scouts really loved that. Make sure to look at all the details of the offer because there are restrictions.
- A $5.00 per Scout/Troop leader rate on camping fees, as well as free use of group pavilion facilities. The $5.00 rate applies to RV or tent sites with a minimum of 5 Scouts and 1 Troop leader.
- A 10% discounted fee will apply to all Scout usage of KOA Kabin, Kottage and Lodge accommodations.
- The Scout rate is available only when reservations are made directly through the campground. The rate is not valid with internet reservations or with Hot Deals.
Here’s an interesting tidbit, too.
Kampgrounds of America’s CEO, Jim Rogers, is one of 10 Eagle Scouts in his family. Jim considers himself a “lifelong Scout”, and currently serves as Vice President of Finance for the Western Region of the Boy Scouts of America and is a recipient of the Boy Scouts of America Distinguished Eagle Award.
