The '''Horseshoe Scout Reservation''' is a Boy Scouts of America camp, owned by the [[Chester County Council]], and located on the Mason-Dixon line separating Pennsylvania and Maryland. The name of the camp derives from the Octoraro Creek, a tributary of the [[Susquehanna River]], that makes a meandering 4-mile horseshoe through the property. | The '''Horseshoe Scout Reservation''' is a Boy Scouts of America camp, owned by the [[Chester County Council]], and located on the Mason-Dixon line separating Pennsylvania and Maryland.

The camp is a "multi-use" facility and hosts Boy Scout, Cub Scout, and other programs, including a Disabled Scout camporee, every year since 1994. In 2004, Camp Ware opened its "Cub Town," allowing barrick-style sleeping accommodations to Cub Scouts, while several "[[Cub Scouts (Boy Scouts of America)Webelos]] sites" allowed 4th and 5th graders to sleep on platform tents similar to those found on most of the tent sites at both Camps Horseshoe and Ware. [[Wood Badge]], [[Powder Horn]], and other adult leader training courses are held at Camp Ware during the off-season period. | The camp is a "multi-use" facility and hosts Boy Scout, Cub Scout, and other programs, including a Disabled Scout camporee, every year since 1994.
