Three Fires Council, Boy Scouts local council in Wisconsin, United States.
Three Fires Council is a Boy Scouts local organization in Wisconsin that supports youth through outdoor activities, merit badge programs, and leadership training. The council operates across multiple counties, combining practical skill-building with personal development for young participants.
The council established Camp Freeland Leslie near Oxford in 1972, which became a major outdoor education center with over 500 acres of natural land. This camp served as the foundation for decades of scouting activities throughout the region.
The three district names - Chippewa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi - come from Native American peoples who lived in this region for centuries. These names keep that history visible as part of the organization's identity today.
Visitors can find information about local scouting programs through the regional office, which coordinates activities across multiple counties. It helps to reach out early since programs happen throughout the year and participation slots often fill up.
Camp Freeland Leslie operated without a central dining hall, requiring young scouts to cook their own meals outdoors in small groups. This setup taught self-reliance and outdoor cooking as core practical skills rather than as occasional activities.
