The council is incorporated in the State of Florida. Geographical Area Central Florida Council serves Scouts in Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Lake, Brevard, Volusia and Flagler Counties. Central Florida Council is divided into nine separate BSA districts, served by eight chapters: BSA District OA Chapter Seminole Huracan Challenger Kikape Eagle Empire Lemhee-Yekchi Colonial Lodja Hadjo Timuqua Micco-Tomokee Riverside Nefketeh Osceola Wahitlaw Lake Wewahitchka Council Headquarters Location The Central Florida Council headquarters is located in Apopka, Florida, just north of Orlando. The address is 1951 South Orange Blossom Trail, Suite 102, Apopka, FL 32703. The office telephone number is 407-889-4406, and the general office email address is [email protected]. Important People, Places and Dates Ron Oats - CEO / Scout Executive Council – Central Florida Council, Apopka Fl. Elliott Gregg – 2015-2016 Lodge Chief Summer Camp – Camp La-No-Che, Paisley Florida. Scott Brown – 2015-2016 Lodge Adviser First Year of “Tipisa Honor Society” - 1938 Matt Ragan – 2015-2016 Lodge Staff Adviser OA Charter Date: January 1st, 1946 3 Camps of Central Florida Council Central Florida Council's summer camping was originally located at Camp WeWa off of Orange Blossom Trail (US Hwy 441) Apopka, Florida. Due to limited available land for expansion, close proximity to a highway, and a polluted lake on property, the Central Florida Council decided to seek new property around 1949. The Committee to find new land suitable for a summer camp was headed by Judge Don Cheney, an Orange County judge and long-time Scouting supporter who was the first president of the Central Florida Council when it was organized in the 1920s. Through various means they investigated the Gould Hunting Lodge on the north shore of Lake Norris in Lake County, FL. The hunting lodge was owned by the wealthy Gould family from Massachusetts, owners of the Gould Pump Company. The camp name was given by Judge Don Cheney and consists of "La" for Lake, "No" for Norris and "Chee" to give it an Indian sounding ending. According to Tom Burgess a professional Scouter of that era, "Cheney absolutely insisted that the name be La-No-Che... one "e", and even in the face of the fact that "La Noche" translates "the night" in Spanish...behind his back everyone understood that it was his way of putting the name of "Cheney" on the camp in perpetuity!" The first summer camp held on the new property was in 1950. During 1950 and 1951 there was no public electrical hook up onto the camp, although there was an electrical generator used for lights and a well-water pump. Ice blocks were brought in along with butane and propane for cooking and hot water purposes. In 1952, a 5000 Watt generator was purchased due to plans for an on-site refrigerator unit. A few years later on the west end of the property land was purchased from the Dyke family, who was given continued access. Their house still exists today. The purchased land included the Sulfur Springs and the Big Stump nature areas, as well as a creek that feeds into Lake Norris. Today, Camp La-No-Che is 1,480 acres, located near the southern border of the Ocala National Forest on the North shore of Lake Norris and on the North side of the Wekiva River Protection Area, near Paisley, Florida. The camp is open year round with its most active time being the 8 weeks during summer camp in June and July. La-No-Che also hosts weekends for local JROTC units, Venturing units, Learning for Life units, and Cub Scout and Webelos weekends. Tipisa Lodge hosts its weekend events there, namely its weekend lodge events, the Tipisa Native American Weekend, and Section events. Most chapters of Tipisa hold their Ordeals at La-No-Che, with a few exceptions. Tipisa Lodge has a museum on the property; used as both a historical repository for patches, publications, and other lodge, chapter, and section produced items, as well as a storage area for Lodge supplies. The “OA Museum” serves as a center of activity during lodge events, chapter ordeals, service days, and OA nights during traditional summer camp weeks. 4 The camp has an extensive aquatics program, which includes two waterfront areas with docks and two pools. It has a climbing wall, laundry facilities, a trading post (camp store), shotgun, rifle, and archery ranges, a health lodge, outdoor chapel, dining hall, and multiple modern latrines. Also contained on the property is a water treatment plant, 5 residential houses, sulphur springs, Pooh Bear Lake, 25 Troop campsites, a baseball field, amphitheater, basketball court, bouldering wall, a dance arbor, and the Florida Trail. The W.T. Bland Dining Hall is a full service food facility able to produce 3 meals a day for 1000+ campers. Adventure treks and hiking trails are numerous including Big Stump, a 12' cypress stump, Eagle Week, SCUBA diving, climbing, caving, kayaking, sailing, and trail biking. American Red Cross Health & Safety Certifications are also offered. In the mid-1990s, Florida based supermarket Winn-Dixie donated a large sum of money to the Central Florida Council, and the camp was given the overall title of "Winn-Dixie Scout Reservation." In 2007, the Winn-Dixie name expired, and the Scout Reservation later sold naming rights to the Leonard and Marjorie Williams family. The Leonard and Marjorie Williams Family Scout Reservation consists of; Camp La-No-Che, the Scout Ranch, Camp Rybolt (a large group camping area), Camp Pooh Bear (a secluded and primitive camp), and Adventure Camp, which has a Project COPE and ATV courses. The current camp director is Matt Ragan and assistant director is Kathy LaBar. Camp La-No-Che currently runs various high adventure pilot programs, including an ATV program and a PWC (personal watercraft, or ‘jetski’) program. Spring of 2015 saw two major camp improvements: a brick plaza in front of the dining hall that bordered the camp’s main flag poles; and a new climbing/high ropes tower that included zip lines. Both projects received major funding from Tipisa Lodge, and each project reflects as much (the primary flag pole is sponsored by the lodge and the lodge totem is displayed prominently on the climbing tower).

The second occurred during the 60th Anniversary Celebration at Treasure Island Scout Camp. Arriving late, Brad and National Vice Chief Eddie Stumler stood in the back of the audience behind two young Arrowmen during the opening flag ceremony. Unnoticed by the two, Brad and Eddie overheard their conversation. They wanted to meet and talk with the national officers, but they remained unsure how to introduce themselves. As the two turned around following the ceremony, they recognized the national officers and became tongue-tied. Brad and Eddie quickly introduced themselves and engaged the two young Arrowmen in conversation. Brad realized that as a leader, people should not have to come to you; you should go to them, be approachable, and make them feel comfortable.

  • The History of Echockotee Lodge #200 Est
    WE ARE BROTHERS The History of Echockotee Lodge #200 Est. 1941 WWW 76th Anniversary Edition First a Spark, then a Flame As one of the four official experimental programs in the early years of the Boy Scouts of America, the Order of the Arrow’s growth was due to the word-of-mouth advertising between council executives, seeing its successes and bringing the Order into their own programs. This was at a time when each of the experimental programs were to grow at their own natural pace, and it was only through personal contact and observation could the Order grow. In February of 1937, in Columbia, South Carolina, a meeting of the executives of the old Region Six was held. These leaders, coming from North and South Carolina, Georgia, most of Florida, parts of Alabama, and the Panama Canal Zone, met with members of the National Program staff, including E. Urner Goodman, the founder of the Order of the Arrow. In his capacity of Director of Program, for the BSA, he was in a position to offer his expert advice on the Order and its potential in camp and council activities. In the ten years following that meeting, 34 of the 40 lodges in Region Six were chartered by the National office. Seeds planted in that meeting were tended by nearby executives familiar with the benefits brought by the Order, and from those leaders of nearby lodges came the establishment of other lodges; such was the case with the establishment of Echockotee Lodge 200. Since 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has maintained a high profile in the Jacksonville, Florida area.
