Westmoreland District is a part of the Greater Alabama Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
Westmoreland District encompasses Franklin County, Colbert County, and Lauderdale County. The district is based in Florence, Alabama in Lauderdale County.
[edit] History
Westmoreland District is named after Camp Westmoreland, a historic Boy Scout summer camp located in Lauderdale County. This is one of the oldest operating camps in the Southeastern United States; it first opened in the 1920s. Camp Westmoreland ceased operations as a summer camp in the 1980's, but it is still widely used to this day for both council and district activities.
Camp Westmoreland's old Order of the Arrow lodge was once home to Kaskanampo Lodge 310, which merged with Coosa Lodge 50 in the year 1999.
Westmoreland District was once a part of the Tennessee Valley Council of the Boy Scouts of America before this council was merged with two other councils to form the Greater Alabama Council.
