This movie took the idea of scout camp and completed change how scout camp happens. in this movie each troop send one patrol which I just did not understand when I saw this movie. There was no dinning hall so kids cooked in the campsites which at scout camp these days. Then there are the outhouses which for sure don't access at scout camps these days. The scouts for sure don't try to knock one over when a kids to use one. The only thing that was good in this movie was the spirit stick competition which does happen at scout camps. If you want to see a funny scout camp comedy this is a movie to see but there is no truly behind what these scouts go through during there week of scout camp.

This would have to be one of the worst films I have EVER watched. Pathetic plot and stupid characters that had no idea what they were doing! Some of the language and story line either left you hanging or completely shaking your head in despair. I cant believe I watched the entire film. I wouldn't be surprised if the film was made from a $5 budget because the overall quality showed no better then this at all. I was not even funny! I would never recommend. What a crap movie!Please don't risk putting yourself through an absolute living hell of a film!

"Scout Camp" is a cross between "Follow Me Boys," and "The Sandlot." It has a small-movie feel, and intends to keep things very real and sincere. The characters of the film portray a complete variety of "Go get-em" scouts to the "I don't want to be here" scouts. They are identifiable, and true to life.The story was loosely constructed, so as not to get in the way of what scout camp is really like...boys learning scout skills while having fun. This movie is definitely not some formulaic, over-produced over-the-top, wacky comedy. It was real and enjoyable.The flag ceremony scene, when the Boy Scouts conduct a respectful, reverent flag ceremony, with the complete Pledge of Allegiance, is an appropriate representation of the Boy Scout Organization. The rifle range scene, with the Rifle Range instructor who takes his job just a bit too seriously, was played with a hilarious wink, letting you know that Scouting is still "a game with a purpose." I recommend this movie to anyone who's ever had anything to do with Scouting. You will enjoy it, as will your troop, patrol, and council.

As a veteran of the terrible Mormon flick Suddenly Unexpected, it was unexpected that any movie could match the atrocity contained within that film. Suddenly, along came Scout Camp. This movie not only holds the title of worst Mormon film in existence; it is also a candidate for worst movie ever made. It seems as though the casting director thought they could distract the audience from the horrendous script and visibly low budget with two leads who were in decent movies in the past (Kirby Heyborne of Saints and Soldiers; Shawn Carter of High School Musical). Of course, for most of the movie Kirby looks ridiculous and very distracting sporting two band-aids over his eyebrows, and Shawn Carter is not a name any one would recognize from the HSM series, so the attempt was in vain. The movie's highest accolade would be that it looks like something made at a Scout Camp by scouts in one week. But then again, that would be insulting to those, like myself, who earned the cinematography merit badge at a scout camp and came away with semi-decent movies. Certain scenes in Scout Camp have unnecessary camera angle changes that make me want to throw up. Did I say certain? I meant all of them. It gives the impression that they made most of the story up as they went along, probably each morning loading the young actors with tons of sugar hoping they'd do something funny in a hyper frenzy. Sorry Scout Camp, but your reputation, much like the Fire Dragons', is ruined.
