History of Balcones Council
Camp Fire USA Balcones Council began in 1966 in
Austin, Texas as an offshoot of Camp Fire Girls. In 1970, Camp Fire
became the first youth organization to include the entire family in
its programming. We currently serve 10 counties throughout central
Texas. As a charter council of Camp Fire USA, the Balcones Council
is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization.
Formerly known as the Capitol Area Council, the
name Balcones derives from the Balcones fault line that runs
throughout much of our service area.
Since its inception, our council has provided
youth in central Texas with service learning opportunities, and
hands-on experiences with leadership and outdoor skills. The
Balcones Council was the first youth organization in the area to
provide all-inclusive, nondenominational small group programs.
