The yearround facility has been programmed specifically for use by Scout groups, ornithological societies, nature study and camping clubs, church associations, and ether kindred organized groups with an interest in outdoor activities. The surrounding area abounds with deer, turkey, and many other species of animal and plant 'life and offers an excellent opportunity for outdoor activity and study. Located on a thickly wooded hillside overlooking Energy Lake, a constant-level subimpounded bay of the campground is arranged so that several groups can use the area at the same time in privacy. The camping area consists of four sections with 12 individual campsites in each section. Eight people can be accommodated in each individual camping unit. No unit is more than 300 feet from toilets and s bowers. Whitney Young Says The program of the Boy Scouts of America is one that strengthens the present as it builds for the future.
