Guajataka Scout Reservation or Camp Guajataka (Campamento Guajataka in Spanish), often simply referred to as Guajataka and nicknamed Santuario de Amistad (English: Sanctuary of Friendship), is a Scout reservation of the Puerto Rico Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and the council's only camping grounds.[1] The camp is located in San Sebastián, Puerto Rico, in the northwest, and partially borders the southern portion of Guajataca Lake, from which the camp takes part of its name. The camp was founded in 1938 with the transfer of land from the Government of Puerto Rico to the Puerto Rico BSA Council.[2] The facility has a participant capacity of little more than 500 individuals with ammenities such as a dinning hall[3], lodging cabins, nondenominational chapel, swimming pools, and a First Aid lodge[4]. The location and climate allows for year-round recreational activities such as camping,[5] seminars, leadership trainings and other Scouting-related activities.[6][7][8]
