| Your Gateway to Fun and Adventure
Avondale Scout Reservation is located on LA Highway 10, three miles East of
Clinton, Louisiana in beautiful East Feliciana Parish. The Reservation has
over 1,665 acres of evergreen and hardwood forest, fields, lakes and
abundant wildlife. It is a great place for our youth members to develop the
qualities of good character, citizenship, and fitness under the influence of
adults of good character. We want our youth to have a great and safe
experience in the outdoors at Avondale.
