Camp Acahela

Staff Neckerchief

Northern Pennsylvania Council




Camp Acahela was established by the Wilkes-Barre Council in 1919. Acahela means "At the joining of the Waters". The camp is composed of 234 acres. The name was chosen because the camp is located at the intersection of the Lehigh River and Tobyhanna Creek. The camp was originally built along the river. New camp building were later built on higher ground after the Army Corps of Engineers announced plans to build a dam that would flood the lower part of the camp. Many years later, the dam still has not been built, so the camp continues to use the land along the river. Until 1991, Camp Acahela had been offering both Cub Scout and Boy Scout programs. Councils that operated Camp Acahela:

  • From 1919-1924, the Wilkes-Barre Council
  • From 1925-1969, the Wyoming Valley Council
  • From 1970-1989, the Penn Mountains Council
  • From 1990 to the present, the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council
