Camp Wisdom is the home to Boy Scout Camp Billy Sowell and Cub
World. The camp is located 11 miles from downtown Dallas. With 371
acres there is plenty of room for a great camping experience close
to Dallas. As one of the oldest camps in Texas, this camp is filled
with lots of camping history. Many Dallas natives spent a week of
their summer at Camp Wisdom. Because of its location, the Camp is
ideal to host to many district and council events.
Boy Scout Camp Billy Sowell, located on the western half of Camp
Wisdom, includes 28 weekend sites for troop camping, a shooting
sports area which includes archery, rifle, and a trap range for
shotgun. The camp also features a dining hall, the Sowell Center
headquarters building, a health lodge and the Jack Harbin Scouting
Memorabilia Museum. There are also four program lodges and three
camporee fields.
Camp Wisdom's swimming pool is Olympic sized and can provide for a
variety of aquatics programs.
The Jim Ince Outdoor Amphitheater can seat over 700 people. This
amphitheater provides a magical setting for a variety of camp
programs.
Cub World Training is no longer required. Anyone who has taken
BALOO training in 2007 is 'trained' to reserve Cub World for your
pack. Please call Camping Reservations at 214/902-6764 if you
have any questions or to reserve a time for your pack.
