The  Reservation...

 Located in the scenic New England town of Ashford, Connecticut.  Established in 1964, the reservation occupies 1,200 acres of land that is home to Boy Scouts , Cub Scouts, Veturners, Explorers & Families  each summer during its seven-week season.  Scouts stay in 2 man wall tents and sleep on cots with mattresses.  Three square meals are served daily in the recently renovated Greer Dining Hall or the Thunderdome. The Reservation boasts its own private lake, Goss Pond so swimming and boating are part of the fun. Many of the traditions at J.N. Webster derive from its direct predecessors Camp Quinebaug (1942-1963), Camp Wakenah (1917-1972) and more recently in the Cub Country Camp Tadma's traditions continue.

Revolutionary War hero’s homestead 
to a Scout Camp…

In 1963, the Eastern Connecticut Council of the Boy Scouts of America set out to establish a new scout camp on the land once owned by Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Knowlton in the Town of Ashford, Connecticut. Thomas Knowlton (1740-1776) was an American patriot who served in the French and Indian War and acted as a Colonel during the American Revolution. Knowlton is considered America's first Intelligence professional, and his unit, Knowlton's Rangers, made a significant contribution to intelligence gathering during the early Revolutionary War. Knowlton was killed in action at the Battle of Harlem Heights. A monument of Knowlton presently stands on the state capitol grounds in Hartford, Connecticut.
