(This measure has not been amended since it was reported to the Senate on April 20, 2006. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Requires that, upon conveyance to the Boy Scouts, the private land shall be subject to the terms and conditions imposed on the entire tract of land acquired by the Boy Scouts for a camp under a specified Bureau of Land Management (BLM) patent. Requires the Secretary of the Interior, upon completion of the land exchanges under this Act, to amend the original BLM patent providing for the conveyance of the public land to the Boy Scouts under the Act to take into account such exchanges.
