Camp Cedar Valley Homecoming Issues

With the merger of Eastern Arkansas Area Council into Quapaw Area Council in late 2001, our camp at Pine Trail Reservation was sold to pay off remaining debts. Fortunately the property was purchased by council member Allen Bush. It was Mr. Bush's immediate hope to preserve the property for camping and to renovate the badly deteriorated facilities. While priority was to be given to those Scouts and Scouting units wishing to use the campgrounds, the facility is to also be available to anyone wishing to use it. In fact, by 2004 most of the buildings had been extensively renovated such that several are now available for use with lodging facilities with full kitchens, bathrooms, sitting areas and laundry.

At the final Vigil inductions of Lodge 413, in September, 2002, it was agreed that we would sponsor a reunion or homecoming back to the camp, the following September. Former Scouts and camp staff as well as current Scout troops were invited. With the success of the first years activities, it was then agreed to proceed with the Homecoming as an annual event.

The following images are commemorative insignia produced for the Cedar Valley Homecoming. They are based on camp and Order of the Arrow insignia from our era as a Scout camp and council. Because these are post-merger items, they do not contain any Boy Scout or council related markings.
