Council Details
Shenandoah Area Council serves communities throughout the Shenandoah Valley, a historic and scenic region within the Appalachian Mountains. This area is known for its rolling farmland, forested ridges, rivers, and small towns, as well as abundant outdoor recreation opportunities. The region played a pivotal role in the Civil War and has a strong agricultural heritage, particularly in apple production. Major historic and natural attractions in the region include Antietam Battlefield, Shenandoah National Park, Harpers Ferry, Washington Monument, C&O Canal, Berkeley Springs, Fort Frederick, and George Washington & Jefferson National Forests. The council operates two camps: Camp Rock Enon Scout Reservation and Camp Sinoquipe Scout Reservation. The council’s former OA lodge was Shenshawpotoo Lodge 276 before merging with Mason-Dixon Council’s Guneukitschik Lodge 317 to form Onerahtoka Lodge 297. The council serves portions of four states through four districts: Mason-Dixon District (Fulton and Franklin Counties, PA, and Washington County, MD), Potomac District (Morgan, Berkeley, and Jefferson Counties, WV), Shawnee District (Winchester, Frederick, and Clarke Counties, VA), and Shenrapawa District (Warren, Page, Shenandoah, and Rappahannock Counties, VA).
