Bay Lakes located in Menasha, WI

1974: From the merger of Shaginappi 61, Sinawa 73, Chequah 194, Wa-Zi-Ya-Ta 233, Day Noomp 244, and Wolverine 501.

2013: Merged with Ag-Im 156 to form Kon Wapos 635.

The Bay-Lakes Council #635 is currently headquartered in Appleton, Wisconsin, has a history rooted in the consolidation of several historic local Scouting organizations. 

Formation and Early History

  • Establishment (1973): The Bay-Lakes Council was officially formed on July 1, 1973.

  • Major Merger: It was created through the merger of six regional councils in Northeast Wisconsin:

    • Valley Council: Based in Menasha, which directly connected the council's heritage to the city.

    • Badger Council: Based in Fond du Lac.

    • Waumaegesako Council: Based in Manitowoc.

    • Nicolet Area Council: Based in Green Bay.

    • Twin Lakes Council: Based in Oshkosh.

    • Kettle Moraine Council: Based in Sheboygan. 

Recent Expansion and Changes

  • Hiawathaland Addition (2012): The Hiawathaland Council, serving Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, joined the Bay-Lakes Council in 2012.

  • Boundary Realignment (2025): On January 1, 2025, the Hiawathaland District was transferred from Bay-Lakes to the Michigan Crossroads Council. 

Council Heritage and Camps

The council maintains several long-standing camps, some predating the 1973 merger: 

  • Gardner Dam Scout Camp

    : Founded in 1932 near White Lake, focused on older Scouts and high-adventure activities.

  • Camp Rokilio

    : Founded in 1924 near Kiel; it became a dedicated Cub Scout camp in the late 1990s.

  • Bear Paw Scout Camp

    : Located in Mountain, WI, it serves as the council's flagship week-long resident camp.

Scout Museum: Bay Lakes Council operates a Scout Museum to preserve the history of its founding councils.
