The Suwannee River Area Council , active from 1924 to the present, includes 13 counties in northern Florida and southern Georgia. The Council Service Center and headquarters are located in Tallahassee, Florida.

Orchard Pond is a small camp, has only four campsites during its entire lifetime. It was used from 1927 to 1947, when it was sold. The Council moved its summer camp operation to Camp Semialachee, located on the western side of Lake Moore to the south of SR 20 on Silver Lake Road west of Tallahassee. Semialachee derives its name indirectly from the union of "Seminole" and "Apalachee", two main groups of Native Americans in the United States from the northern Florida region. Camp Semialachee was kept until 1965, when the camp was moved to the Wallwood Scout Reservation, located south of Quincy, Florida. The land for the new camp was donated by Dr. Charlie K. Wall and his wife, Margaret, as a gift for Scouting. Buildings and equipment are donated by various community leaders, Scouters, and organizations. Wallwood's dedication came in 1964, the buildings were built in 1965, and the first camping season was the summer of 1966. Wallwood covers over 500 acres (2.0 km 2 ) of land bounded in one side. by the branch of Lake Talquin. The camp offers a range of Scouting programs, including COPE, as well as opportunities for other civil organizations.
