  History of Cherokee Scout Reservation
  The original Camp Cherokee was located in Rockingham County, near the town of Wentworth.  Established around 1940, this camp functioned for several years until growth made it obvious that a larger facility would be necessary.  For one year, 1967, the camp functioned at a different facility.  In 1968 Cherokee (current location) opened to campers, and has been welcoming scouts every summer since.
