SummerCamp08

Overview:

Camp Pioneer is located in the beautiful foothills of the Ouachita Mountains. Mountain Fork River and Two Mile Creek converge at the camp, adding to its scenic beauty. The camp's hills are covered by pines and a large variety of hardwood trees.

At Camp Pioneer, all troop sites have wall tents, cots and mattress set up and ready for the use of Scouts and leaders. Each site is equipped with showers, restrooms, a storage building for equipment and a large shelter for troop meetings. Several of the troop sites are accessible to the physically handicapped. Swimming is in a junior Olympic pool. Boating and canoeing are in Mountain Fork River.

Program:

For first-year Scouts, we offer the Pioneer Trail to First Class (formerly "Scout Skills") program, which focuses on developing skills necessary to achieve the rank of First Class. This area is designed with younger Scouts in mind, and is organized so that each Scout receives instruction and completes the skills at his own pace.

For older Scouts, Camp Pioneer offers a variety of Eagle-required merit badges, as well as other exciting programs, such as the COPE course, the Little Rich Mountain climbing tower, the Mountain Man living-history program, and the newly created Caddo Challenge high-adventure trek.
