Scouting in Missouri has a long history, from the 1910s to the present day, serving thousands of youth in programs that suit the environment in which they live.
According to William D. Murray, who was a charter member of the Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) when it incorporated on February 8, 1910, the first "Troop" to form in Missouri was formed by an Englishman in Sedalia, MO sometime in 1908 or 1909. In his 1937 book "The History of the Boy Scouts of America" he goes on to say that this man had even gone so far as to appoint field representatives in other states as well.
The 1938 National Order of the Arrow Lodge Meeting was held at Irondale, Missouri.
There are six Boy Scouts of America local councils in Missouri.
Great Rivers Council (653) is based in Columbia, Missouri and serves Scouts in 33 counties in Mid-Missouri. In 1971 Great Rivers Council merged with Lake of the Ozark Council (314).
The Council operates Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation. Boy Scout and Venturing Camps are offered at Hohn. The camp is available for year-round use by Scout units for a variety of activities.
Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation is located on the Lake of the Ozarks Osage Arm at mile marker 44 near Laurie, Missouri, amid spectacular natural beauty and extreme rocky terrain, the Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation boasts 450 acres and a mile and one-half of shoreline. Just one hour south of Jefferson City, Missouri,the Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation is the camping home of the Great Rivers Council, featuring CampHohn - our nearly 50-year-old Boy Scout camp, and a Cub Scout camping facility that is under development and has yet to be named. Hohn plays host to our Boy Scout Summer Camp program, Project C.O.P.E., Climbing, and Sail Master programs and offers thirteen scenic campsites for year-round use. The Cub facility will host our Cub Resident camping programs and offer campsites, program facilities, aquatics activities, lodges, a dining hall and more.
The Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation offers facilities and equipment available for unit use and the Kit Carson Trail, an eight mile long perimeter trail which winds through the rolling hills and along the bluff overlooking the Lake. Each summer sees over a thousand Scouts and Scouters participate in our summer camp programs; fall and winter bring district camporees and spring welcomes more camporees, Cub camping weekends, our Sons of Daniel Boone Rendezvous and our Nampa-Tsi Lodge fellowship weekends.
