Once upon a time in the magical state of AR, also known as Arkansas, there was a group of kids. Now, these weren't your ordinary kids. No, sir, these kids were nature-loving, outdoor-adventuring, wild-hearted whizz-kids. With a love for all things green and a thirst for exploring every nook and cranny of their beautiful state, they would set out every day on adventures that would make even the bravest adventurers go "WOW!" Arkansas was their playground, a place filled with mountains, hot springs, and rivers. It had caves to explore, forests to hide in, and the most beautiful sunsets you could ever imagine. There were acres and acres of beautiful wildflowers, and the hummingbirds and butterflies could make even the gloomiest day shine like a rainbow. In the middle of this group was their leader, a quirky, imaginative character known as Captain Greenbeard. Don’t let the name fool you though, for he was just a kid like them, but with a beard made of leaves, vines, and the occasional bird's nest. With binoculars made from acorns and a compass drawn on a tree bark, Captain Greenbeard was always ready to lead the group on their next adventure. "Oh, look! A squirrel! No, wait, it's a chipmunk! Oh, who cares, let's follow it!" He would often say, leading them through a wild chase or challenging them to a game of ‘Find the Elusive Pink Snorp', a creature they had imaginatively conjured up, which supposedly had the body of a snail, the horns of a rhino and the wings of a parrot. These adventures in nature were the highlight of their days, each one a new story, a new discovery, and a whole lot of laughs. Something was always happening in the wonderful world of Arkansas, and these kids wouldn't have it any other way!

Camp Osage and Camp Cherokee both offer scouts the opportunity to explore nature, take part in outdoor activities, and participate in various scout-specific programs. At Camp Osage, scouts can enjoy a large camp with program areas spread out and delicious food served in the dining hall. At Camp Cherokee, scouts can experience a smaller camp with all the program areas in sight of one another, as well as the ability to cook their own food provided by the commissary at their own site. Both camps provide scouts with a full program of activities to enjoy. So, no matter which one you choose, your scouts will be sure to have a great time!
