Rodney Scout Reservation is located on over 900 acres of rolling upland woodlands at the head of the Chesapeake Bay and boasts of over a mile of prime Chesapeake Bay waterfront. Rodney has been in continuous operation since 1923. Rodney is located in Cecil County, Maryland, only a short drive from Interstate 95 and Maryland Route 40 near the town of North East. This great location provides easy access from Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia, Wilmington, and New Jersey.

The Brownsea First Year Camper Program is known nationally through Scouting magazine for starting campers out on a Scouting career that launches them toward the lofty pinnacle of Eagle Scout. The Sailing Base and Aquatics Programs are conducted on the natural waters of the Chesapeake and in our pool with three deep ends! The N.E.S.T.
