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.

“The shifting islands! who would not be willing that his house should be undermined by such a foe! The inhabitant of an island can tell what currents formed the land which he cultivates; and his earth is still being created or destroyed. There before his door, perchance, still empties the stream which brought down the material of his farm ages before, and is still bringing it down or washing it away,—the graceful, gentle robber!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
