Scouting in Ohio has a long history, from the 1910s to the present day, serving thousands of youth in programs that suit the environment in which they live. EARLY HISTORY (1910-1950) RECENT HISTORY (1950-1990) In 1952 the National Order Of The Arrow Conference was held at Miami University . SCOUTING IN OHIO TODAY In the 1990s, the BSA went through a restructuring in an attempt to reduce manpower, and in several states small historic Councils were merged into a larger ''supercouncil''. The new Simon Kenton Council is an example of such a supercouncil. There are sixteen Boy Scouts Of America local councils in Ohio . Allohak Council

Greater Cleveland Council Tinnerman Wilderness Canoe Base, more commonly known as Tinnerman Canoe Base, is a "high-adventure base" located on the banks of the French River , in Ontario . Since 1963 the base has been owned and opperated by the Greater Cleveland Council of the Boy Scouts Of America . Tinnerman is nicknamed the "Land of the Joli Voyageur". History In the 18th and early 19th centuries, the French River area was a major trade route used to exchange furs trapped in the West with various goods made in the East and in Europe. The Land that the Tinnerman base is located on was owned by Albert H. Tinnerman , inventor of the Speed Nut . Boy Scout ownership After Mr. Tinnerman's passing in 1961, his grandson tried to obtain a commercial license for the camp. The Ontario government said that any one area would support only so many camps and they felt the lower French had enough camps at that time. Though appealed, a license was not possible for the camp. It was at this time the family decided to donate the camp to the Cleveland, Ohio Area Boy Scout Council. Interestingly enough, two weeks after the formal donation, Mr. Buttriss received a letter from the Ontario government stating that since one of the Camps in the area had closed its doors (Rainbow Lodge on Bass Creek), the license would now be available.
