Camp Ouachita revival
- Game and Fish will take it over from Forest
Service.
From the late 1930s to
1979, Camp Ouachita hosted generations of Girl Scouts. But since then, the
camp, on the National Register of Historic Places and believed to be the
only extant Girl Scout camp built by the WPA, has been unused and fallen
into disrepair.

Camp Ouachita, the
nation’s only surviving WPA-constructed Girl Scout camp complex, is listed
on the National Register of Historic Places. Camp Ouachita was the
hearthstone for outdoor- and social-skills development and a path through
adolescence for two generations of Arkansas Girl Scouts who seasonally
camped there between 1937 and 1979.
