Summer Camp 2015 Camp Tahuaya


 History of Camp Tahuaya
Camp Tahuaya founded in 1932, was named after the Tahuayans a tribe of the Wichita Indians. Camp Tahuaya is located on the Lampasas River, in Bell County, Texas, four miles south of Belton, Texas, off of Interstate 35. Leave IH 35 at the Tahuaya Road exit and follow Tahuaya Road west for one and a quarter miles. The 162 heavily forested acres that compose Camp Tahuaya provide one of the finest physical and program facilities of any Boy Scout camp in the nation. A deliberate effort has been made to maintain the camp in a setting of rustic isolation, yet provide the program resources needed by today’s Scouts, all within an easy walking distance. In few sections of the country will you find a spot so appropriate for camping and at the same time so bountiful in the lore and history as around the sparkling springs of Camp Tahuaya. The site, according to historians, was the camp and burial grounds of a pre-historic race of people, Plainview Man, and later for the Indians of several tribes. It has also known the Spanish Conquistadors who built their forts and buried their gold at Camp Tahuaya. Legend says the Dining hall is build on top of an old Spanish fort. There’s also a unique trail that was a road for many historic people. Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston are a few that used the Old Military Road, a part of the Chisholm Trail that passes through Camp Tahuaya. The ruts made by thousands of wagon wheels, arrowheads, natural stone fences, and the millrace of the Shanklin Mill are physical reminders of Camp Tahuaya’s heritage.Texas settlers built a grist mill and millrace whose ruins are now historic landmarks in the camp. The Old Military Road and the Shanklin Mill brought thousands of wagons to the spring, carving deep wheel ruts still visible in the stone by our lake. The stone fences, plentiful arrowheads, Military Road, and millrace ruins are visible reminders of Camp Tahuaya’s frontier heritage. Camp Tahuaya has a beautiful lake, Lake Boyd Callan, that’s filled by the largest natural spring in Texas. The lake is stocked with trout every year. Fishing here is a big time favorite of scouts and scouters alike.

Fee is $230.00 early registration late fee is $240 late fee after May 22, 2015

Summercamp 2014


Summer camp for 2014

In the early part of the Twentieth Century a success business man in McAlester, Ok, Tom Hale became interested in youth work and organized a youth group in his church. In 1919 he affiliated the youth group with the Boy Scouts of America. Choctaw Area Council was formed and Mr. Hale served as the council president for many years. upon seeing the need for camping facilities to carry out the Boy Scout Camping Program Mr. Hale coordinated the effort of acquiring an area of land near Wilburton, Oklahoma known as Robbers Cave for a campsite for the Scouts. He purchased a great majority of the land himself and encouraged many others in the area to also donate land for the camp. Boy Scout camping took place from 1930 until 1961 when Robbers Cave became a state park. The state government exchanged the camp for an area of land near Talihina Oklahoma where the present day Hale Scout Reservation is located.  In 1973 Choctaw Area Council merged with Indian Nations Council who took over the operations of the camp. Indian Nations has been also worked to keep the vision of provide the best possible program for the youth. There are thousands of youth each year that receive a quality outdoor program, over 1300 Scouts complete rank advancement and approximately 20,00 merit badges are earned.

Summer camp at Camp Tahuaya 2014


Camp Tahuaya is a beautiful, heavily forested 150 acre camp with the largest natural spring in Texas. The lake is stocked with trout. Tahuaya has a rich lore of history. Everything is within easy walking distance. The sparkling cold springs attracted the camps and burial grounds of prehistoric Plainview Man, and later Native Americans of several tribes. The Spanish Conquistadors built their forts and, according to legend, buried their gold here.
Texas settlers built a grinding mill and millrace whose ruins are now historic landmarks in the camp. The Old Military Road and the Shanklin Mill brought thousands of wagons to the spring, carving deep wheel ruts still visible in the stone by our lake. The stone fences, plentiful arrowheads, Military Road, and millrace ruins are visible reminders of Camp Tahuaya’s frontier heritage
