Since 1950, D-bar-A-Scout Ranch has been providing quality scouting experiences for Scouts, Schools, and Churches from Michigan and around the Midwest.
D-bar-A is located about an hour north of Detroit, MI. The ranch consists of over 1,700 acres of wilderness, 3 lakes, a herd of horses, cattle, and other livestock, 28 heated cabins, and 13 tent sites. Program facilities also include a 32 foot climbing tower, Lonesome Pines Boy Scout Shooting Center (Rifle, Shotgun, and Archery), Robert Morrison Cub Scout Shooting Center (BB Gun and Archery), Nature Center, Bouldering Wall, and 11 miles of hiking trails.
During the summer months, D-bar-A Scout Ranch offers Boy Scout Resident Camp, Cub Scout Resident Camp, and several horse related programs unique to D-bar-A. In addition, the camp is host to many high school Marching Band camps.
D-bar-A is unique because we offer a Horsemanship Merit Badge weekend, a Mini Yucca Trail weekend, the four day Yucca Trail experience and the Ranch Hand program. Please follow the link below for a full description of each program opportunity.
D-bar-A Scout Ranch is owned and operated by the Michigan Crossroads Council, Boy Scouts of America.
