Scout Island is a forested bar island in Marion County, West Virginia on the Tygart Valley River.
Scout Island was used by a Troop as their personal camp in the 1940s and 50s. Since then it is visited by scouts with permission of the current owner. A pavilion and campsites can still be seen.

“I ... would rather be in dependance on Great Britain, properly limited, than on any nation upon earth, or than on no nation.
