PROGRAM USE:  Currently the Woodman Center is used by Scout units for overnight camping. The Center is also been used for youth and adult weekend training programs and for Cub Scout Day camping and Cub and Family overnight camping programs. 
PLANS:  At present, plans for the Woodman Center include the creation of the Susan Woodman Meinhardt Training Center. The council will utilize the three school houses and garage for the core of the training facility.
