The Council’s second camping facility is located in Trout, LA near Jena (LaSalle Parish) and is approximately 35 miles from Alexandria. The camp consists of over 150 acres and has a 15 acre lake available for boating activities and fishing.
Facilities include a large dining hall with a capacity of 200, a beautiful chapel for Vespers services, recently enhanced shooting sports ranges, the Steve Ayers training center, a trading post and warehouse facility, shower/bath houses in the campsites and the Adirondacks for overnight camping.
As with Camp T.L. James, all of the areas of camp are available for use by the public, although there are fees for non-Scouting groups. E-mail Robin Richard at robin.richard@scouting.org to get reservation details..
