About the Mobile Area Council

The Mobile Area Council Boy Scouts of America serves a four-county region with Mobile as its hub. With more than 15,000 youth members and 3,500 adult volunteers, the Mobile Area Council is one of the largest and most successful Scouting programs in America.

The council consists of five physical districts - Baldwin, Choctaw, Maubila and Spanish Trail.

The Council Service Center, name for Dr. Monte L. Moorer, was renovated and repaired during the last major capital campaign held in 1995 and is located on West government Street in Mobile Alabama.

 

Camp Maubila

The council owns and operates one long term camp, Camp Maubila, which is the council's centerpiece for camping, water sports, and high adventure. The current property is located about one hour 40 minutes from downtown Mobile and encompasses over 686 acres. The property includes a lake for water sports, a swimming pool, a rappelling tower, one large dinning hall, campsites and facilities for archery, marksmanship and nature study.

It also includes a state of the art conference and training facility for weekend conferences, used by adult Scouters. More than 75,000 (camper days) have been logged at Camp Maubila during the past thirty years.

Camp Pushmataha

Camp Pushmataha, the council's weekend primitive facility, was at one time the Council Camp. It is located in Citronelle approximately one hour from downtown Mobile. It encompasses 86 acres. The facility is available to all boys and is opened year round. Many Scouts and leaders have enjoyed the camp for over 60 years.
