Weighted Scoring

Rate each camp 1–5 on the factors below, then multiply by weight to get a weighted score. Add the weighted scores for a rough total — useful when two camps otherwise look close on paper.

Factor	Weight (1–5)	Camp A score × weight	Camp B score × weight	Camp C score × weight
Program fit (badges & activities scouts want)
Cost value
Distance & travel logistics
Facilities quality
Past troop experience
Weighted total score

Comparing more than three camps? Print an extra copy of this page for the additional options. A camp that wins on paper but misses a hard deadline (payment, medical form, or registration cutoff) is not actually available — check dates before you fall in love with a program.
