Camp Meriwether (Oregon)
Camp Meriwether is a 790-acre Boy Scout summer camp located south of Cape Lookout in Cloverdale, Oregon, along the Oregon Coast. Camp Meriwether is the largest of the Cascade Pacific Council's four resident camps in Oregon.
== Early years ==
The land upon which Camp Meriwether sits was purchased in 1925 by Scout Executive George Oberteuffer (Chief Obie) of the Portland Area Council. Following a fire and the destruction of the lodge at Camp Chinidere, near Wahtum Lake on Mt. Hood, the Council began to look for a new property.The idea of having a Boy Scout summer camp along the Oregon Coast was ridiculous to most and the proposal submitted by Oberteuffer was originally turned down by five of the six council board members. Eventually, Oberteuffer was able to persuade the council to purchase the land from the Chamberlain family at price of $19,000, which was a large investment considering the entire operating budget for the council for the year was $26,000. The first year of camp it was known simply as "The Boy Scout Summer Camp at Sand Lake", as that was where the road ended and the hike into camp began. After the first year, George Oberteuffer decided to formally name the camp after the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804. Camp Meriwether was decided to be the name and the Corps of Discovery has been a large part of the program at Camp Meriwether ever since. 〔Wells, Kenneth (1986), An early history of Camp Meriwether : with some additional notes about Obie (G. H. Oberteuffer) and the Columbia Pacific Council's early years : including supplemental material on other early Council camps (2nd ed.), Portland, Oregon: Columbia Pacific Council, Boy Scouts of America, OCLC 15645363〕The camp to the north of Camp Meriwether is Camp Clark, which runs a similar program but for Cub Scouts. The combined camps make the Meriwether-Clark Scout Reservation and over 1,000 acres of land along with two miles of private access beach.
