Camp Hart Overview
Hart Scout Reservation opened in 1930. The property was given to the Philadelphia Council by Dr. Charles D. Hart, and the camp was thereby named after him. Camp Hart is divided into two halves by the Unami Creek; the west side which is still currently in use as a fully functional camp, and the east side;  which is largely unused at present.

Prior to 1996, the Philadelphia Area Council owned and operated Camp Hart, while the Valley Forge Council owned and operated the adjoining Camp Delmont. Subsequent to the merger of these councils in 1996, these adjacent camps joined to create a new reservation. This reservation is known as the Musser Scout Reservation, in honor of long-time Scouting supporter Warren V. "Pete" Musser.

The Musser Scout Reservation is located along the Unami Creek on over 1,400 acres of Marlborough Township, Pennsylvania. It is part of the largest contiguous forest in Southeastern Pennsylvania. It now includes Camp Hart, Camp Delmont and Camp Garrison.

The Cradle of Liberty Council, Natural Lands Trust, Montgomery County Lands Trust and Montgomery County signed a conservation easement permanently protecting over 1,200 acres of the Musser Scout Reservation. The easement is a perpetual, legally binding agreement to remove certain rights from the property owner. The effect of conservation easements is to provide permanent protection from future development while leaving the land in private ownership.
