* '''Camp Raymond''' is located {{convert|30|mi|km}} outside of [[Flagstaff, Arizona]], between the [[Kaibab National Forest]] and the [[Coconino National Forest]], along the rim of [[Sycamore Canyon]]. Camp Raymond has 18 campsites and offers a variety of program areas, including Boy Scout Resident Camp during the summer, with 9 program areas and 31 merit badges. For older Scouts, Camp Raymond offers C.O.P.E, Climbing, and Mountain Biking.  The camp is named after Dr. R.O. Raymond, one of the first doctors in Flagstaff, Arizona, and the founder of the Raymond Educational Foundation. Dr. Raymond, along with many other community leaders, had the idea to create a permanent summer camp in northern Arizona. The {{convert|160|acre|km2|adj=on}} site was purchased in April 1964 for $200 an acre. A Camp Development Committee was formed under the leadership of William Preston as soon as the purchase was finalized. They worked quickly to resolve water and sanitation concerns and opened the camp in the summer of 1964.  The next big push for development at Camp Raymond was in the 1970s, when the Ranger house and Quartermaster-Trading Post building were constructed. The Handicraft shed and handicap shower facilities were added in 1988, the pool in 1990 and a lake in 2009.  Today, Camp Raymond has 18 campsites, each with a wash stand, latrine, cooking area, picnic tables, and running water. Camp Raymond is available for Boy Scout Troops and Cub Scout Packs for Troop Camping, Family Camping and District Camporees. Camp Raymond has an Archery Range and Shooting Range, including rifle and shotgun skeet ranges.<ref name="campraymond">{{cite web |title=Camp Raymond - High Altitude, High Tech, High Adventure Scouting |url=https://www.campraymond.org/ |website=Camp Raymond |publisher=Grand Canyon Council |access-date=19 June 2024 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20240326184536/https://www.campraymond.org/ |archive-date=March 26, 2024 |language=en-us |url-status=live}}</ref>

:The Spade Ranch house, located in Camp Geronimo, has been around for over 100 years. Every year during the Scout summer camp, older Scouts participate in high adventure activities. The Spade Ranch house was built by the Spade family on the basis of [[Webber Creek, Arizona|Webber Creek]] just beneath the Mogollon Rim.
