Barker Scout Reservation is home to Camp Squanto, a 650-acre year-round camping facility located deep in the woods of Myles Standish State Forest in Plymouth, Mass. For seven weeks in the summer, our trained staff provides a high-quality, complete, long-term camping experience for troops and individuals. During the off-season, Camp Squanto is available for various group activities, including troop or Webelos camping, band camps, retreats, Order of the Arrow weekends, Klondike derbies, and much more. The camp attracts nearly 20,000 visitors annually.

After graduating from Johnson & Wales University in 2009 with a degree in Hospitality, Dan Flood chose to invest back in his hometown rather than taking a corporate job. He transformed, grew, and purchased his family’s business—Central House Tavern—keeping a 50-year Westborough institution thriving.

Whether supporting WASA scholarships, local sports teams, or the Westborough Food Pantry, Dan’s joy comes from giving back—a core value instilled through Scouting. Join us in honoring Dan Flood for everything he brings to Westborough!
