Camp Fire USA Southwest Louisiana Council

has been serving the youth of Southwest

Louisiana since 1915. Although Camp Fire

was originally a youth development

organization for girls only, Camp Fire USA

has opened its enrollment to boys and girls

between the ages of 3 and 21. We also

incorporate family strengthening into all of

our programs!

Nationally, Camp Fire USA was founded in 1910 and as a youth

service organization, has taught children good citizenship, social

responsibility, and personal life skills.



The Camp Fire concept is a combination of the great American

tradition of pioneering and the inheritance of Native American

lore. These basic back-to-nature traditions, along with modern

day expectations,and family strengthening practices, form the

culture of today's organization.



Locally, the Camp Fire USA Southwest Louisiana Council, was

established in 1915.  Governed by a volunteer Board of leaders

from the community.
