Make A Donation

100% of funds donated for the restoration and preservation of Camp Louis Ernst are dedicated solely to improvement of the campground and its facilities. Though there may be other worthy options benefitting Boy Scouts in general, our group is focused on protecting the rich 100-year legacy of Camp Louis Ernst that has meant so much to the youth of South Eastern Indiana. Our camp gave so much to our lives. It’s now up to us to preserve and protect it for future generations. Please donate now to help rebuild Camp Louis Ernst.

Serve On “Geezer Patrol”

Sign up for “Geezer Patrol” which is organized by a group of “older” campers and alumni that meets once a month at Camp Louis Ernst to help oversee special projects. The group, headed by Don Riley, has put in over 2,200 hours of volunteer work at the camp. Meetings take place on Saturdays and include coffee and lunch.
