Originally opened as Camp Ashford on June 28, 1964, today the reservation occupies 1,200 acres (4.9 km2) of land and a 30-acre (120,000 m2) man-made lake named Goss Pond.
The camp is located on the farm once owned by Lt. Col. Thomas Knowlton, hero of the Battle of Bunker Hill and a commander in the Continental Army.
[4] This 340-acre (1.4 km2) camp was located in Bozrah, Connecticut and was established in 1947 by the Middlesex County Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
The council attempted to make the camp a high adventure base in 1977 and 1978, but demand was not there.
Around 70 Scouts from the Connecticut Rivers Council helped to refurbish the camp, which is now usable again.
[6][7] Camp Workcoeman is located on the shore of West Hill Lake in New Hartford, Connecticut.
[8] The program includes Swimming and Boating on the West Hill Pond (sail boats, snorkeling, stand-up paddle boards, underwater nature hike, team canoeing, camp-wide aquatic meet, kayaking and Polar Bear Swim).
This program, based around the patrol method, focuses on teaching basic Scouting skills and includes Swimming Merit Badge.
Each week a number of camp-wide activities are scheduled, including Aquatic Meet, Scoutmaster Shoot-Off, Friday Night Campfire, Saturday Court of Honor and Family Bar-B-Que.
[9] Before the merge, a joint meeting between the two lodges was held at Camp Tadma in the spring of 1995.
On September 17, 1995, the membership voted on their by-laws, chose the name Tschitani for the new lodge, and a slate of officers were elected.
[9] In the spring of 1996 and again in 2001, Tschitani Lodge hosted the Section NE-1B Conclave at Camp June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation.
