Old North State Council
The Old North State Council (ONSC) is a local council of the Boy Scouts of America that serves the eastern and southern portions of the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina. The council is headquartered at the Royce Reynolds Family Scout Office in Greensboro, North Carolina and operates four camps; one of which is outside the council boundaries. The ONSC represents Boy Scouting in Davie, Davidson, Randolph, Guilford, Alamance, Rockingham, Caswell, and Person counties of North Carolina. The council's name is derived from the state's official song, The Old North State.
The Cherokee Council (#417) was founded in 1923. The Greensboro Council (#418) was founded in 1918, changing its name to the General Greene Council (#418) in 1947. The High Point Council (#419) was founded in 1919, changing its name to the Uwharrie Council (#419) in 1923. The Uwharrie, Cherokee, and General Greene councils merged with the Old North State Council (#070) in 1992.
The Old North State Council is divided into five districts for more locally tailored programs and local leadership. The districts are listed below along with the regions they represent:
Cherokee Scout Reservation (CSR) is a Boy Scout camp in central Caswell County, North Carolina near the town of Yanceyville. It is situated on over 1,700 acres (6.9 km2) of hardwood forest and is the headquarters for the Tsoiotsi Tsogalii Lodge. The camp was founded in the 1960s by Allan "Doc" Lewis and associates and was named after the local Cherokee tribe. It hosts the council's largest summer camp, which is usually held each week for six weeks each summer. (36°21′04″N 79°23′02″W / 36.351°N 79.384°W)
History of Cherokee Scout Reservation
The original Camp Cherokee was located in Rockingham County, near the town of Wentworth. Established around 1940, this camp functioned for several years until growth made it obvious that a larger facility would be necessary. For one year, 1967, the camp functioned at a different facility. In 1968 Cherokee (current location) opened to campers and has been welcoming Scouts every summer since.
The camp's official camp song is "The Eyes of Cherokee", which was written by Doc Lewis and is sung to the tune of "I've Been Working on the Railroad". The song's lyrics are as follows:
The eyes of Cherokee are upon you,
All the live-long day.
The eyes of Cherokee are upon you,
You cannot get away.
Do not try to escape them
At night or early in the morn.
The eyes of Cherokee are upon you,
'Til Gabriel blows his horn.
