CAMP WESTMORELAND MEMORABILIA
Historic Boy Scout Camp Westmoreland (or Westmoreland Reservation) was established in June 1929 through a gift of 44 Acres of property on Shoal Creek by Mr. J.E.F. Westmoreland. Originally it served as the Boy Scout Camp of the Andrew Jackson Council of Florence, Alabama. As early as 1930, Scout Troops from the Tennessee Valley Council, Huntsville, Alabama were camping on the shores of Shoal Creek. It was originally named the Tennessee Valley Boy Scout Camp, but the name changed to recognize the property benefactor. Over the years it has been known as Camp Westmoreland; Westmoreland Reservation; and Westmoreland Scout Camp. The Camp now consists of 284 Acres of property along the west shoreline of Shoal Creek. It served the home of Kaskanampo Lodge 310 (1945-2000) and was placed on the Alabama Register of Historic Sites & Places in 2006. The Camp is famous for its "Westmoreland Wings" & "Good Camper" Pin/Medal Award System (Woodsman, Brave, Warrior, & Chief). The Wings were first issued in the 1930s-40s and were re-introduced in the early 2000s as a Camp Service Award. The Pin Set appeared from the late 1940s to 60s.
