Belgrade Boy Scout Camp no longer for sale, but future is in limbo

CENTRAL MAINE • August 17, 2025

Camp Bomazeen, a beloved Boy Scout camp on the shore of Belgrade’s Great Pond, is no longer actively for sale. The Pine Tree Council of the Boy Scouts of America, the owners of the 330-acre camp, say they will listen to anyone interested in the property and have reached out to the the 7 Lakes Alliance to gauge their interest in the site. But regional scouting group officials also say they are no longer actively looking to sell Camp Bomazeen. Instead, they’ve resumed using it for some scouting activities and are currently contemplating the best use of the lakefront property moving forward. That’s in sharp contrast to what the southern-Maine based Pine Tree Council,  said only months ago that “we have made the difficult decision to move forward with the sale of certain properties, including Camp Bomazeen.”
