Districts

The Greater Alabama Council is divided into 14 districts:

Arrowhead District

Arrowhead District encompasses Morgan, Limestone, and Lawrence counties, and covers all of the Decatur Metropolitan Area.

The district is based in Decatur, Alabama in Morgan County. Formed in 2003, when the districts of Arrowhead and the Limestone merged to form one Arrowhead District.

The first joint activity was a Spring Camporee hosted by Troop 211 at Point Mallard Park in Decatur, Alabama.

Westmoreland District

The Westmoreland District http://www.westmorelanddistrict.com encompasses Franklin, Colbert, and Lauderdale Counties. The district is based in Florence in Lauderdale County.

Westmoreland District is named after Camp Westmoreland, a historic Boy Scout summer camp located in Lauderdale County. This is one of the oldest operating camps in the Southeastern United States; it first opened in the 1920s. Camp Westmoreland ceased operations as a summer camp in the 1980s, but it is still widely used to this day for both council and district activities.

Camp Westmoreland's old Order of the Arrow lodge was once home to Kaskanampo Lodge 310, which merged with Coosa Lodge 50 in the year 1999.

Westmoreland District was once a part of the Tennessee Valley Council of the Boy Scouts of America before this council was merged with two other councils to form the Greater Alabama Council.
