The council camp, ''Camp Alexander'', is located in the [[Eleven Mile Canyon]] in the [[Pike National Forest]] approximately {{convert|45|mi|km}} west of Colorado Springs, and two miles (3&nbsp;km) south of [[Lake George (town), Colorado|Lake George]], in [[Park County, Colorado|Park County]], was donated in 1946 by [[J. Don Alexander]] of the [[Alexander Film Company]]. There are a series of ''[[Burma Shave]]''-style signs on the main road into camp, each sign having one of the points of the [[Scout Law]]. Camp Alexander is between 8200 and {{convert|8600|ft|m}} elevation. The camp area consists of hills, low mountains, and valleys covered by a mix of [[Ponderosa pine]] forests, high-altitude grasslands, and wetland vegetation along the lake and stream. In the 2012 Springer Wildfire, the camp was evacuated, and parts of the camp were used by firefighters as staging and defensible spaces.
