The Black Warrior Council has the LeRoy McAbee Scout Servce Center and three wonderful camping facilities available for use by our membership and outside groups. Scouting units from out-of-council are welcome to come and enjoy our camps. Outside groups may also request use of our facilities but there are additional insurance and indemnity requirements that must be met.
