Beaumont Scout Reservation

Beaumont Scout Reservation

In Southwestern St. Louis County, sits 2,400 acres of wooded, rolling hills and adventure called the Beaumont Scout Reservation. This multi-use property is located just off Highway 44 at the Beaumont-Antire Road exit.

Beaumont offers countless activities and facilities for Scouts, featuring Cub World, Nagel Explorer Base (home of the council’s horses), cabins, a climbing tower, mud cave exploration and a swimming pool.  This fall, take advantage of our Open Climbing ($20 for an hour session), and trail or pony horse rides, available in the reservation portal.

New this summer and fall in 2020, families and units can register for open climbing in small groups at the brand new tower, available on Saturdays through the end of October.

Nagel Explorer Base

The Nagel Explorer Base is the home of the council’s popular horse program.  Packs can come out and enjoy a picnic before boarding the wagons for horse-drawn hayrides.

Troops, crews and posts can schedule a horseback trail ride. Additionally, units can take advantage of 14 adirondacks shelters for rent.  Adirondacks are three-sided structures that each have four bunks. Units can also choose to tent camp.

The Nagel Rec Hall is available for rent to all units. Use it for pack meetings or rent it out for the weekend. The hall includes 12 bunks, a refrigerator, cookstove, fireplace, and dry sink. Water and latrines are outdoors.

Mud Cave

Take a self-guided tour through one of the most popular spots on the property- Mud Cave! This natural cavern will take your unit into the cool depths of beautiful rock formations and limestone deposits. Mud Cave is kept locked when not in use so be sure to make a reservation through the camping department.

Cabins

Beaumont has eight cabins for unit use. From November through March we restrict their use to troops, crews, and posts. From April through October, Webelos dens may reserve them.

Cabin A and B: These log structures near the Camp May Parade Field are our newest additions. They each house 20 in bunks and are joined by a breezeway.  Each have a wood-burning fireplace, stove, refrigerator, and sink. A and B have indoor plumbing and showers. Units provide their own firewood and cooking gear.

Cabins McBride, Jordan, Lantz, Mallinckrodt, and Third Baptist: These five cabins have enough bunks to accommodate 20 people in each cabin. Each cabin contains a fireplace, woodstove, refrigerator, cookstove and dry sink. Water and latrines are outdoors.  McBride and Jordan cabins are side-by-side should your unit need room for more than 20.

Beckett Cabin: This cabin is right behind the Emerson Center and houses 14 people in bunks. The smallest cabin available, it is only heated by a furnace. The cabin has indoor plumbing, refrigerator, cookstove and sink. It does not have a fireplace or woodstove.

Wohl Lodge: This lodge is located next to the Emerson Center. It has a flushable toilet, a shower, and a full kitchen. This sleeps 22 people total.
