About CSD.....Located in the northwest corner of Georgia and approximately 20 miles north of Rome, Camp Sidney Dew offers the natural beauty of the Appalachian foothills. Founded in the late 1930s, the camp is a unique blend of old and new, with several of the early structures still in use and many new structures in place or soon to be built. Located in the pocket area between Johns Mountain and Horn Mountain, the camps 650+ acres are bordered on the north by the Chattahoochee National Forest and on the south by Johns Creek. The camps rolling terrain offers an abundance of deer, wild turkey, and other wildlife, including a trout stream open annually to fishing from March 1st through October 31st. Several points of interest are within a couple hours drive from camp. Visiting units can explore the Etowah Indian Mounds, Chickamauga Battlefield, New Echota Historic Site, Civil War Battle of Resaca, museums and historic sites of Rome and Atlanta, and more. In short, Camp Sidney Dew is the crown jewel of a council which, though small, is committed to offering the best possible program for Scouts and Scouters of all ages.
