Camp Freeland Leslie

Camp Freeland Leslie is located near Oxford, Wisconsin and is owned & operated by the Boy Scouts of America, Three Fires Council.

Camp Freeland Leslie is the premier patrol-method camp in the Central Region.  We believe that the patrol is the heart of Scouting, and that teaching Scouts to work as a team is our most important job. The staff is hard at work, and we look forward to serving you.  Please visit this site often as we add new information often, & be sure to check the important announcements and dates as they appear.
