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.
