You've heard of a Scout camp-o-ree before. Now just add a dash of "swamp flavor" to it! The result is a weekend of camping, swamp exploration, challenges, and fun!

​

Scouts from across the region, including those from Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Alabama have traveled Swamp Base each spring to join in the excitement of this affordable program.
