__________________________________ Introduction

A purpose of the Order of the Arrow is to “promote camping, responsible outdoor

adventure, and environmental stewardship as essential components of every Scout’s

experience, in the unit, year-round, and in summer camp.” Camping and outdoor

adventure are at the heart of the purpose of the Order of the Arrow. Camping and the

outdoor adventure are at the core of the mission of Scouting.

It is with this focus that the Arrowmen of Tonkawa Lodge 99 present this revised

camping guide to the units of our council and any units who are looking to discover new

opportunities for camping and exploration. This revision updates some of the changes

that have occurred in Scouting, revises outdated information, and provides new

locations for camping and outdoor adventures.

The purpose of this guide is to aid area units by providing a reference to local, state-

wide, and even national camps and campgrounds. This guide is a starting place. It is our

hope that units discover new places and continue the traditions of Scouting in the

outdoors.
