Camp Freeland Leslie

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

Camp Freeland Leslie is a year round camping facility offering the premier patrol-method Boy Scout camp in the Midwest. The camp also hosts Webelos Resident Camps and special camping programs for youth groups.

MISSION

The outdoor program is one of the predominant features about Scouting that appeals to Scouts, and a week at summer camp is one of the top experiences. Memories and experiences from summer camp last a lifetime. The Three Fires Council has another exciting summer awaiting Scouts at Camp Freeland Leslie, and our mission is to provide every camper with a customer service driven, high quality program. We believe that the patrol method is the heart of Scouting, and that working as a team is the most valuable lifelong skill. Our highly trained staff acts to bring this goal into reality. You can't take the "outing" out of Scouting!
