[edit] Ozark Trails Council

Ozark Trails Council is based in Springfield, Missouri, and serves Scouts in Missouri and Kansas. Camps in the Ozark Trails Council include:

  • Camp Arrowhead offers programs for all Scouts, from first-year Baden-Powell to High Adventure. Camp Arrowhead is situated on approximately 650 beautiful wooded acres in the Ozark Mountains near Marshfield in southwest Missouri. The property features a lake, many miles of hiking trails, a stream, caves, a spring, and many examples of native Missouri flora and fauna.

Scouts camping at Camp Arrowhead may enjoy traditional outdoor Scouting activities – backpacking, hiking, fishing, swimming, archery and shooting – as well as more challenging “adventure” and “aquatics” programs. These include: a C.O.P.E. course, mountain biking, rappelling, canoeing, small-boat sailing and snorkeling.

The purpose of Camp Arrowhead is to provide Scouting experiences, which strengthen your troop operation by supporting the efforts of your unit’s leadership – both adult and youth – and by fulfilling the promise of Scouting, in the outdoors.

  • Frank Childress Scout Reservation, located 4 miles south of I-44 and west of Diamond, MO on V Highway. FCSR is home to our Cub World Cub Scout Resident Camp. The camp includes a large swimming pool designed specifically for Cubs, dining hall, Pirate Ship, Old West Fort, Gold Mine Indian Village and a stocked trout pond for fishing.

The Camp is also complete with a C.O.P.E. Course for older Scouts and a year-round multipurpose building that can be utilized by Scouts and Scouters for training and fellowship

  • Cow Creek located on beautiful Table Rock Lake just south of Branson, Missouri. Cow Creek is available for unit camping. The property is winterized October 1st through April 15th; during this time utility water will not be available.
