In 1932, Camp Hugh Taylor Birch began with a 25-acre
of land and a vision. Today, Camp Birch has grown to encompass 440 acres of
woodland that serves our Scouting and non-Scouting communities on a year-round
basis.
Camp Birch – replete with a dining hall that
serves 300, an Olympic size swimming pool, a 10-acre lake, and many other
facilities – is our outdoor facility that we use to teach character,
citizenship, personal fitness, and environmental awareness.
Besides our Cub and Boy Scouts, Camp Birch is used by
churches, schools, other youth groups, the National Guard and college
organizations. Every weekend, 10 to 15 different groups are camping or using
the Adams Training Building, our training and educational center, for
meetings.
Several renovations have been completed recently at
Camp Birch, including new shower and restroom facilities. Four new modern
cabins with similar facilities have also been built.
Adjacent to Clifton Gorge, John Bryan State Park and
Glen Helen Nature Preserve, Camp High Taylor Birch is an integral part of 2,000
continuous acres of natural woodlands.
The United States
Air Force Museum is located less than an hour's drive from Camp Birch.
