Compiled by the Greater St. Louis Area Council, Boy Scouts of America Where to Go Camping Compiled by the Greater St. Louis Area Council, Boy Scouts of America Greater St. Louis Area Council, Boy Scouts of America Welcome! The Greater St. Louis Area Council proudly presents Where To Go Camping . This book will prove invaluable for learning about camping opportunities in this council as well as those in the region. An action-packed and varied program will keep your Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers and Explorers coming back for more. Remember, “Scouting is outing”, and Where To Go Camping is your complete guide to all the outdoor adventures that awaits you in the Greater St. Louis Area Council region. It offers many suggestions on camping attractions in the region. While this book is loaded with information, it is only a starting point, and offers some options for how to research more about a specific location. Two additional websites not listed elsewhere in the book which have been useful for finding camping areas are www.backpacker.com/destinations and www.usscouts.org How To Make Reservations All who wish to use our camps must secure a permit two weeks in advance from the Greater St. Louis Area Council. Reservations will then be mailed back as your confirmation. When you get to camp, you will need to check in with our Ranger. This allows us to be prepared for you by having the gate open and the facility or program ready to go. It also insures that we are not overselling an area or program. No Fee Programs: Simply come into the Council Service Center, or call the Camping Service at (314) 361-0600 or 1-800-392-0895 and we will mail your reservation to you. Fee Programs: All programs or facilities with fees involved must be paid before the permit is issued or reserved. We cannot hold a reservation without the fee. 2 Greater St. Louis Area Council, Boy Scouts of America A weekend is considered to start at 5:00 p.m. Friday and end by 4:00 p.m. Sunday. See the reverse side of your reservation form for additional details. Use of some facilities is determined by a lottery because of high demand. Winter cabins, lodges, tree houses, and summer camp programs are a few examples. Reservation Season Camping reservations for the program season October through September are available beginning with a lottery during the month of August each year. Units that participate in the lottery will be assigned a time to make reservations for the various programs and facilities. Once the lottery sign up is completed units will have the opportunity to reserve facilities on a first come, first serve basis. Information for the lottery sign up is sent to the unit leader in July and posted in the Council’s newsletter and website. Camp Phone Numbers Emergency telephone numbers for the camps are: • Beaumont Scout Reservation (636) 938-5444 Dining Hall & Educational Facility /Camp May (636) 938-4329 Cub World/Camp Grizzly (636) 587-2690 • Camp Lewallen (573) 224-5591 Summer Camp only (573) 224-3420 • S bar F Scout Ranch (573) 756-5738 Swift Base Lodge (573) 756-8810 • Pine Ridge Scout Camp (618) 549-0673 3 Greater St. Louis Area Council, Boy Scouts of America Leadership Policy It is the policy of the Boy Scouts of America that trips and outings may never be led by one adult. At least two adult leaders, one of whom must be 21 years or older, are required for all trips and outings. It is the responsibility of the chartered organization of a Cub Scout pack, Boy Scout troop, Venturer crew, or Explorer post to inform the committees and leadership of the unit that sufficient adult leadership must be provided on all trips and outings. The “safety rule of four” requires that no fewer than four individuals (always with a minimum of two adults and two Scouts) go on any activity away from the meeting site. If an accident occurs, one person stays with the injured and two go for help. Additional adult leader requirements reflect an awareness of such factors as size and/or skill level of the group, anticipated environmental conditions, and overall degree of challenge. Tour Permits Tour Permits are our method of tracking unit activities not held on our council properties. The information that local and national tour permits provide is necessary in the preparation of our annual report. Tour permit forms are available at the Council Service Centers. Tour permits are NOT necessary for: 1. Activities within our council boundaries by packs, troops, teams, crews, or posts. 2. Activities on council-owned property. 3. Council-sponsored activities such as trail hikes, horseback rides, OA functions, district camporees, etc. within our council boundaries. Local Tour Permit: For trips less than 500 miles one-way. National Tour Permit: Trips over 500 miles one-way. Maximum travel per day is 12 hours. Time Required for Processing: Local – two weeks; National – four weeks. 4 Greater St. Louis Area Council, Boy Scouts of America Table of Contents Section Page # Outdoor Code 5 Camping Opportunities in the Greater St. Louis Area Council 6 Schedule of Fees for Greater St. Louis Area Council Camps 13 Missouri Campgrounds 16 Illinois Campgrounds 21 Kentucky Campgrounds 28 Tennessee Campgrounds 31 Arkansas Campgrounds 33 High Adventure Camping Opportunities 36 Trails to Hike 39 5 Greater St. Louis Area Council, Boy Scouts of America Outdoor Code As an American, I will do my best to: Be clean in my outdoor manners: I will treat the outdoors as a heritage to be improved for our greater enjoyment. I will keep my trash and garbage out of America’s waters, fields, woods, and roadways. Be careful with fire: I will prevent wildfire. I will build my fire in a safe place and be sure it is out before I leave. Be considerate in the outdoors: I will treat public and private property with respect. I will remember the use of the outdoors is a privilege I can lose by abuse. Be conservation minded: I will learn how to practice good conservation of soil, waters, forests, minerals, grasslands, and wildlife; and I will urge others to do the same. I will use sportsmanlike methods in all my outdoor activities. 6 Greater St. Louis Area Council, Boy Scouts of America Camping Opportunities Beaumont Scout Reservation Wright Lodge: This versatile building provides a dining room, two large rooms, and five small rooms.

  • TAUM SAUK AREA THREATENED by HYDRO PLANT by Susan Flader
    (This article was first published in Heritage, the Newsletter of the Missouri Parks Association, August 2001) TAUM SAUK AREA THREATENED BY HYDRO PLANT by Susan Flader When state park officials selected a cover photo to illustrate their first-ever assessment of "threats to the parks" nearly a decade ago, they chose not a scene of despoliation but a symbolic representation of the best of what they were seeking to protect. It was a vista at the core of the Ozarks, looking from the state's grandest waterfall near its tallest peak across its deepest valley into the heart of Taum Sauk Mountain State Park, Missouri's then-newest public park but also its geologically oldest, wildest, most intact, and most ecologically diverse landscape. Scarcely could one imagine that the very symbol of what they were seeking to protect through their threats study, titled "Challenge of the '90s," would itself become the most seriously threatened landscape in Missouri at the dawn of the new millennium. The photo showed two forest-blanketed, time-gentled igneous knobs in the heart of the St. Francois Mountains, on the left Smoke Hill, recently acquired by the state, and on the right Church Mountain, leased to the Department of Natural Resources for park trail development by Union Electric Company of St. Louis (now AmerenUE). But on June 8, the Ameren Development Company, a subsidiary of Ameren Corporation, filed an application for a preliminary permit with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for the Church Mountain Pumped Storage Project. It would consist of a 130-acre reservoir ringed by a 12,350-foot-long, 90-foot-high dam on the top of Church Mountain, a lower reservoir of 400 acres formed by a 1,900-foot-long, 100-foot high dam flooding several miles of Taum Sauk Creek, which has been designated a State Outstanding Resource Water, and associated tunnels, powerhouse, transmission lines, roads, and related facilities.

In fact, the best weather days (think sunny and calm) aren’t necessarily the best birding days at all. Warm sunny weather entices more people outside CHIEF EDITOR often with their kids and pets in tow. Better get up early or you’ll hear stories Eric Secker from fellow birders how dogs chased off a flock of graceful American Avocets from ASSISTANT EDITORS the beach or runners flushed an unexpected Upland Sandpiper moments before Tamima Itani, Adam Sell you arrived. There’s nothing more frustrating than missing a good bird by a few PRESIDENT & CHIEF SUPERVISOR minutes. Believe me. I’ve been there many times. Matt Igleski Experienced birders don’t mind getting up early or even braving the elements, LAYOUT AND PRODUCTION but it’s not just about trying to beat the crowd. Knowing how the weather may Eric Secker affect migration and bird activity improves your chances at finding certain species or of having a productive outing in general. FIELD NOTES EDITORS There’s probably one condition where you might as well pack it in for the Jill Anderson Matt Hayes day and that’s heavy rain. In a torrential downpour, you won’t be able to see or Dan Williams even keep your optics dry.

  • Outdoor Recreational Needs & the Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois
    Outdoor Recreational Needs & The Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois Department of Natural Resources December 3, 2018 Introduction In 2015, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) entered into agreement with the City of Springfield to manage city-owned property surrounding the City’s proposed secondary water supply (Hunter Lake). The City has already acquired 7,138 acres for the project located in southeastern Sangamon County. The lake is expected to cover 2,560 surface-acres with water. Outdoors recreation generates about $32 billion in economic activity each year for the State of Illinois, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. All this activity supports 90,000 jobs statewide. As the population of the United States continues its gradual migration from rural to urban areas (U.S. Census Bureau), demand for recreational land, open space and hunting and fishing opportunities will continue to grow. With 95 percent of Illinois land in private hands, the state ranks 46th in terms of land in public ownership. The IDNR owns and manages about 480,000 acres. The partnership between the City and IDNR is intended to provide additional public access for outdoor recreation, education and habitat conservation on Hunter Lake and its surrounding area. The City concluded the IDNR is the appropriate state agency to help the City achieve this objective. IDNR has statutory authority to manage the state’s fish and wildlife resources. To this end, the City chose to enter a Memorandum of Cooperation with IDNR (Appendix A) and tasked the Agency with managing the property’s outdoors potential for recreational opportunity, including hunting, fishing, bird-watching, biking, hiking and camping.
