I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

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.

A story about a scout troop that goes to a camp and encounters supposedly typical summer camp experiences.This movie doesn't work on several levels. There are many mistakes of a Scouting nature (not using two-deep leadership, hazing is shown, the adult leader is portrayed as stupid and ineffectual, camp staff is abusive to adults, the rifle range director stands in front of guns, many examples of not using the buddy system). The plot is very lame. I could not show this to my scout troop nor to adults. While they obviously had scout knowledgeable advice in making the film, the filmmakers only listened to what they wanted to hear.
