=== Sagamore Council ===
The Sagamore Council<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sagamore Council |url=http://sagamoresignals.com}}</ref> was founded in 1973 by a merger of the Three Rivers Council (Headquarters in [[Logansport, Indiana|Logansport, IN]]), Mesingomesia Council (Headquarters in [[Marion, Indiana|Marion, IN]]) and the Harrison Trails Council (Headquarters in [[Lafayette, Indiana|Lafayette, IN]]).  The council offices were eventually consolidated to a single office in Kokomo, Indiana. The council maintains two camps:  Camp Cary, (near Lafayette, IN) used as a Cub Scout day camp and Camp Buffalo, (near [[Buffalo, Indiana|Buffalo, IN]] - north and east of [[Indiana Beach]]) used as a Scouts BSA summer camp.  The camp properties of Green Hills and Crossland were sold. Camp Green Hills was south and west of Lafayette, IN. Mesingomesia Council's Crossland Scout Reservation near [[Columbia City, Indiana]] was sold to the [[Indiana Department of Natural Resources]] in 1992 and is now called the Deniston Resource Area (named after a fallen DNR Conservation Officer). The camp was located on Robinson Lake, one of the last natural lakes in Indiana with almost no development. This was due in large part to the camp which encompassed almost three-fourths of the shoreline.<ref name="Braun">{{Cite web |last=Braun |first=Edward R. |date=2000 |title=Maintenance of a Quality Largemouth Bass Population at Robinson Lake |url=http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/files/fw-Robinson_Lake_2000.pdf |access-date=2011-06-16 |website=Division of Fish and Wildlife |publisher=Indiana Department of Natural Resources}}</ref>

A few things make Sagamore Council unique:

# [[Purdue University]], in West Lafaytte, IN, hosted the 1994 National Order of the Arrow Conference.
# [[Weaver Popcorn Company|Weaver Popcorn]] (which markets [[Trail's End Popcorn]]) is produced in Van Buren, Indiana.
# Ramsey Popcorn<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ramsey Popcorn |url=https://www.cousinwillies.com/ramsey}}</ref> (which markets Campmasters Popcorn<ref>{{Cite web |title=CampMasters |url=https://www.campmasters.org/ |website=Campmasters-org}}</ref>) is produced in Ramsey, Indiana.
# George O. Crossland was a Scout Executive who served the prior Mesingomesia Council. He was known for more notable Scouting functions including creating an honorary that rivaled the Order of the Arrow—TI-PI-SA, the Order of the Red Lodge. Crossland Scout Reservation was named after him.
