The National Capital Area Council (NCAC) is a local council of the

Northeast Region that serves the Washington metropolitan area, including Washington, D.C., portions of Maryland and Virginia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.[1] The council offers extensive training, and administrative support to units.[7] It is rated as a "Class 100" council by the National Council (headquarters office), which denotes that the NCAC is among the very largest in the country. Chartered in 1911, it is also one of the oldest. The council is divided into 21 districts serving ten counties in Northern Virginia, six counties in Maryland, the District of Columbia, the US Virgin Islands, and BSA units throughout the Americas. The council has a 5 to 2 ratio of youth members to adult leaders, which is among the highest of all the councils. The youth retention rate is currently 70% which was affected by COVID-19.[8]

History

Chevy Chase and was founded in 1913.[10] When the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia decided that the security of suffrage marchers in 1916 was not their problem, the youth of Troop 52 took up that duty.[10] Starting in 1996 the council annually sponsored the Commodore Henry I. Nygard Regatta along with the Friends of Sea Scouts of Maryland.[11]

With the departure of Les Baron and his deputy Jeff Berger in 2018, the Council hired Craig Poland as the new Scout Executive,

In 2023, after the retirement of Craig Poland, the Council welcomed Mario Perez as the Scout Executive/CEO.[17]

The camps are all built around the 425 acres (1,720,000 m2) Lake Merriweather, that was created by damming the Little Calfpasture River in 1966,[19] before it joins with the Calfpasture to become the Maury, with a structure 38 feet (12 m) high and 1,300 feet (400 m) long.[21] Lake Merriweather was named for Marjorie Merriweather Post, an ardent supporter of Scouting in the Washington, D.C., area.[22]: 51  U.S. Steel public relations executive William G. Whyte helped acquire the tract of more than 4,000 acres (16 km2) that is now the land of the Goshen Scout Reservation.[23]

In 1994 The Walt Disney Company bought extensive amounts of land in Haymarket, Virginia, for a proposed Disney's America theme park.[35] Local resistance to the resort led to its end as a viable idea.[36] William B. Snyder, a local business man convinced Disney to sell the property to him. Snyder, in turn, sold off most of the land to developers, except for the 405 acres (1.64 km2) donated to the National Capital Area Council.[29] Brian Luss served as the initial camp director.[30]

Defunct1967

Camp Roosevelt existed 9 miles (14 km) south of Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, from 1914 to 1967.[62] When the camp was a shared summer camp of both Washington and Baltimore councils in 1914 the camp was called Camp Archibald Butt.[63] "Camp Roosevelt was the first permanent Boy Scout camp in the country."[64] The Calvert County visitors guide refers to the camp as, "Maryland's first permanent Boy Scout camp."[65] Camp Roosevelt employed many counselors over the years of the camp's life including Richard A. Adams who would serve in the Royal Air Force then the United States Army Air Forces, and later found Adams Company Realty in Wheaton.[66]: B7  The camp is the location of the founding of the Clan of the Mystic Oak in 1921, an honor society with goals to "further Scouting, advance the interests of Camp Roosevelt, and to promote fellowship among its members."[63]

Camp sites were called ranches.[63] Each site was named for places related to Theodore Roosevelt like Big Horn, Buckskin, Chimney Butte, Elk Horn, Powder River, and San Juan.[63] "There were several buildings on the property, notably a large mess hall, an infirmary and several Adirondack cabins."[61]

From July 24 to August 6, 1922, the camp ran a program specifically for Scouts active with the Catholic Churches of Washington organized by Boy Scout Bureau Washington District Council National Council of Catholic Men chairman Dr. TJ Murphy.[67] Trinity Episcopal Church rector, reverend J. C. M. Shrewsbury, took Troop 102 of Upper Marlboro to the camp for two weeks on Jul 25, 1927.[68]: 6 

On September 24, 1952, during the meeting that dissolved the Clan of the Mystic Oak that organization purchased a memorial in the name of the organization to Dr. Walter H. Merrill, who had served as a doctor at Camp Roosevelt.[63] Ralph Lauren's first time golfing came at the camp when he was age 14 in 1953.[69]: F3  70 flu cases in 1957 caused the camp to close early on July 11.[70]: E1  The camp was sold in the late 1970s.[71] Today the property is "now a residential area."[72]: T1 

In the early part of the 20th century, the council owned

Colesville Road passes over the Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River.[73]

In 1915, at

Scout Oath and Scout Law as examples to follow.[74] This organization is today known as the Order of the Arrow.[75]

Six years later and 200 miles (320 km) away at Camp Roosevelt a group that called itself the Clan of the Mystic Oak formed in 1921, with the nearly identical goals of "further Scouting, advance the interests of Camp Roosevelt, and to promote fellowship among its members."[63] While the Clan of the Mystic Oak was specific to Camp Roosevelt in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, the Order of the Arrow spread across the country as it formed new lodges. Lodges are the smallest standard unit of the order and each is chartered to a local Scout council. The National Capital Area Council chartered what is now called the Amangamek-Wipit lodge on March 12, 1952.[76]: 14  At the time of the first banquet on December 29, 1952, Amangamek-Wipit had 89 members.[77]: 2–1  That growth was enough to convince the Clan of the Mystic Oak members to dissolve the clan and join the order [78] at a meeting on September 24, 1952.[63]

When chartered in 1952 the Amangamek-Wipit lodge had no name.[77]: 2–1  With Scouts at Camp Roosevelt finding numerous shark teeth along the Chesapeake since 1914 the lodge decided to incorporate that history into their totem by placing the Washington Monument on an arrow on a shark's tooth at a meeting in June 1953.[77]: 2–1  Following the advice of a Smithsonian Institution language expert that there was no word for shark, and Amanquemack translated to large fish, the lodge adopted the name Amanquemack at that same meeting.[77]: 2–1  In 1952 the members voted to change the lodge name to Amangamek-Wipit after learning that Amangamek was the correct word for large fish and Wipit was the correct word for tooth.[76]: 14 

As a charter member of Area 3c the lodge participated in the 1953 Area 3-C Pow Wow at Camp Darden.

University of California-Santa Barbara.[98] The lodge participated in the 1974 section Southeast 1 Conclave at the Siouan Scout Reservation.[99]
