A 58-acre tract in Rockingham County is used the year around by white Scouts. The camp is named “Cherokee” for the Indian tribe famous in years past. The camp has excellent facilities including eight prominent buildings, a beautiful lake, archery range, craft-ship, and modern water purification facilities. Outpost camp sites are located over the tract of land for over-night camps. The other camp, owned by the Coun cil, is in Rockingham County and is used by Negro Scouts. It consists of 75 acres of rolling, wooded country. This camp is comparatively new. Camp sites are scattered over the area and tents are used during the camping season. The large 6-acre lake offers various water activities. The Cherokee Council is composed of the following counties: Alamance, Cas well, Person, and Rockingham. Scout ing in these counties is promoted and carried on by the 733 volunteer adults who are supplemented by a full pro fessional staff of three men—the Scout executive and two field Scout execu tives. ★ GEN.
