Roy C. Manchester, the home of Shawnee Trails Council's summer camp, has offered Scouts a broad range of programs for advancement, learning outdoor living skills, and fun since 1954. The camp enjoys six miles of shoreline which makes the camp a prime facility for aquatics—including sailing, water skiing, motor boating, swimming, canoeing, rowing, and fishing.

While participating at summer camp, Scouts take part in traditional flag raising and lowering ceremonies.

Older Scouts have the opportunity to sail on Kentucky Lake, the largest artificial lake by surface area east of the Mississippi River.

Summer camp offers a chance for Scouts to learn Scout Skills in a safe, outdoor environment.
