Camp Pupukea Cabin Project

Welcome to the Future of Camp Pupukea

For generations, Camp Pupukea has been a place for Scouts to explore, grow, and connect with nature in one of Hawaii’s most iconic outdoor settings. Now, Scouting America, Aloha Council is investing in the future of this 70-acre property with the construction of five new cabins that will transform this historically rustic site into a year-round destination for Scouts, schools, nonprofits, businesses, and community partners.

These new cabins are the first step in a larger vision to revitalize our camps across the islands, making them more accessible, resilient, and ready to serve as emergency support hubs when needed.

Designed pro bono by G70 and selected by the Aloha Council Properties Committee, each cabin features an open-air layout with elevated foundations, screened sliding doors, and flexible sleeping arrangements. Every cabin will be able to accommodate up to 25 people, with loft-style bunk beds and private rooms suitable for guests of all ages. Once completed, the site will host up to 125 overnight guests, while maintaining the rugged spirit of Pupukea.

This project aligns with the Camp Pupukea Master Plan approved by DLNR in 2014. A full Environmental Assessment (EA) has been completed, and a Conservation District Use Permit (CDUP) has been secured. We are now preparing for construction and securing lead donors to help bring this vision to life.

“As someone who camped at Pupukea as a young Scout, this place holds a special meaning for me. I’m excited we’re creating a site that will allow more people, Scouts and community groups alike, to experience the same wonder and connection to nature that I did growing up.”

Charles Kaneshiro, Chairman of G70 and an Eagle Scout

Join Us in Building Something That Lasts

A capital campaign will launch in late 2025 to fund construction and other key improvements. Naming opportunities are now available for individuals and organizations looking to make a lasting impact on Hawaii’s youth and future leaders.
