Full description and what we offer
Medicine Mountain Scout Ranch operates as a full-scale Scout camp offering far more than traditional merit badges. Located in the Black Hills near Deadwood, it's designed for Scouts and adults seeking outdoor skills, marksmanship, and adrenaline-pumping activities.
The ranch offers archery, rifle, shotgun, and paintball with both structured merit badge courses and open recreational shooting:
| Activity | Cost | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Archery | Free | Open shooting for all Scouts |
| Rifle | $5 | 25 shots (non-enrolled Scouts) |
| Shotgun | $15 | 25 shots (non-enrolled Scouts) |
| Paintball | $7.50 | 50 shots per participant |
Deadwood Gulch Paintball is the signature paintball experience—a walk-through range modeled after the Old West town of Deadwood with interactive targets, buildings, and various obstacles. $5 per person with no participant limits.
Spoof Merit Badges bring creativity to camp—past offerings include Duct Tape Merit Badge, UFO Sightseeing, and Zombie Survival.
Mountain Fest caps off each week with Friday evening celebrations featuring games, branding station, trading post deals, music, and a campfire at the newly renovated 650-seat amphitheater.
Rumble in the Mountains is a relay race where teams navigate stations around Medicine Mountain, complete challenges (including fetching floating oars), and race for the trophy.
Medicine Mountain transforms Scout camp into genuine outdoor adventure with hands-on marksmanship, extreme activities, and mountain experiences you won't find at typical summer camps.
