Camp Lewallen is 580 acres of Boy Scout summer camp property owned and operated by the Greater Saint Louis Area Council. It is located in Silva, Missouri. Camp Lewallen opened in 1936. The property includes the Roy Jarvis Dining Hall, the towering Mount Logan, Scoutcraft, nature and voyageur areas. The Trading Post overlooks the pool for you to relax and have a snack. At the shooting sports area scouts have the chance to shoot a shotgun, .22 rifle and bow and arrow. At Lake Potashnik, Scouts can canoe, row, fish and kayak. Originally a part of the Southeastern Missouri Council, the Greater Saint Louis Area Council took over operation of the property and its programs in 1993.
