This booklet is a summary of the key projects at properties owned by the Boy Scouts of America, Last Frontier Council. Many of these projects are a result of the $10 Million Capital Campaign completed in 2009.

The most widely used camping facilities operated by the Last Frontier Council are:• Camp George Thomas near Apache, Oklahoma• John W. Nichols Scout Ranch in southwest Oklahoma City• Slippery Falls Scout Ranch north of Tishomingo, Oklahoma• Diamond H Scout Ranch near Tahlequah, Oklahoma

The following pages cover the projects which have already been completed, those that are planned, and those that are in the development phase.

Thanks to the Capital Campaign Donors and the leadership of the Campaign Committee we hope to be able to more effectively complete our mission of extending and supporting Scouting programs to all the youth within our territory – and beyond – through our facilities.

John W. Nichols Scout Ranch is the camp closest to the majority of our membership. Because of its proximity to so many Scouts and potential Scouts, we anticipate with the new construction and facilities John W. Nichols Scout Ranch will get even more use. This is on top of the fact that it’s currently the most highly used council facility with over 4,000 Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers visiting each year.

There are Scouts at John W. Nichols Scout Ranch every weekend it is available, and many weeknights. One of the most concentrated uses of the camp is during the summer for many of the Oklahoma City metro area’s Cub Scout day camps.

Major contributors to the capital projects atJohn W. Nichols Scout Ranch are:
