The '''Suwannee River Area Council''', active from 1924 to present, encompasses 13 counties in north [[Florida]] and south [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]].  The Council Service Center and central headquarters are in [[Tallahassee, Florida]].  Since opening in 1924, the Suwannee River Area Council has offered traditional Scouting programs at several camps.

The first was Camp Orchard Pond, located near Tallahassee.  Orchard Pond was a small camp, having only four campsites during its entire lifetime.  It was used from 1927 to 1947, when it was sold.  The council moved its summer camp operations to Camp Semialachee, located on the west side of Moore Lake south of SR 20 on the Silver Lake Road west of [[Tallahassee]].  Semialachee got its name indirectly from the union of "Seminole" and "Apalachee", two primary groups of [[Native Americans in the United States]] from the north Florida region.  Camp Semialachee was kept until 1965, when camping was moved to Wallwood Scout Reservation, located just south of [[Quincy, Florida]].  The land for the new camp was donated by Dr. Charlie K. Wall and his wife Margaret as a gift to Scouting.  The buildings and equipment were donated by various community leaders, Scouters, and organizations.  The dedication of Wallwood came in 1964, the buildings were constructed in 1965, and the first camping season was the summer of 1966.  Wallwood covers over {{convert|500|acre|km2}} of land bordered on one side by a branch of [[Lake Talquin]].  The camp offers a variety of Scouting programs, including COPE, as well as opportunities for other civic organizations.  There are currently two camping facilities at the Wallwood Reservation - Camp Nea Mathla and Camp Tom Matherly.
