Several camps claim the title but by any reasonable definition the honor goes to Camp Owasippe of the Chicago Area Council near Whitehall Michigan. It was purchased in 1910, constructed in 1911 and held its summer program for scouts in 1912.
Treasure Island Scout Camp outside of Philadelphia (Cradle of Liberty Council) claims the title but was leased and used as a summer camp starting in 1913 and was purchased by the council in 1919.
Camp Teetonkah; located near Jackson, Michigan, (Great Sauk Trail Council); is also a contender with holding scout summer camps since 1913.
No other scout camp was established prior to 1916.
