Capital Campaign

The Occoneechee Council’s Capital Campaign supports and serves the Scouts, parents and leaders of our Council. These Scouts cover twelve counties: Chatham, Cumberland, Durham, Franklin, Granville, Harnett, Lee, Moore, Orange, Vance, Wake and Warren. It takes quite a campaign to encompass those areas. Your dollars can help.

Please take time to consider contributing to the Grand Lodge, Camp Durant Fish Camp and The Sullivan Training Center and Order of the Arrow Lodge Building, Kerr Lake High Adventure Aquatics Base, Endowment and Adopt-A-Campsite.

  1. We have the Grand Lodge at Camp Durant. Construction began in 2007 and really took off in 2008! This first class dining facility will offer a new Trading Post and central meeting place that will seat 700. Pavers and Bricks will line the patio with the names of generous contributors.
  2. We have the Cub Scout Fish Camp at Camp Durant. This will be a place to relax, kick up your hiking boots, spend quality time with a child and depart from your everyday busy schedule. It is located just down from the C. Harrison Smith Aquatics Center in a tucked-away peninsula. You may also visit the bait and tackle shack and fish, fish, fish.
  3. There is The Sullivan Training Center and Order of the Arrow Lodge Building at Camp Durant. This multipurpose facility includes seating for 100, eight classrooms, a catering kitchen and a Lodge museum.
  4. The Kerr Lake High Adventure Aquatics Base. Development includes fishing, camping, motorboating, skiing, large and small boat sailing, kayaking, nature hikes and study, geocaching, astronomy and celestial navigation.
  5. Our Endowment campaign . This provides annual funding to assist financially deserving Scouts and annual maintenance and repair to our facilities.
