The '''George Rogers Clark Council''' was formed by Scouts of [[Clark County, Indiana|Clark]], [[Floyd County, Indiana|Floyd]], [[Harrison County, Indiana|Harrison]], [[Crawford County, Indiana|Crawford]], [[Scott County, Indiana|Scott]], and [[Washington County, Indiana|Washington]] counties in 1927, and merged with '''Old Kentucky Home Council''' in 1993 to form the '''Lincoln Heritage Council''', which serves Scouts in [[Kentucky]] and [[Indiana]]. The Council absorbed the Shawnee Trails Council of western Kentucky (and part of southern Illinois and northwestern Tennessee) in April 2012 to serve scouts in Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and Tennessee.<ref>{{Cite web |title=About Boy Scouts |url=https://lhcbsa.org/about-boy-scouts |website=Lincoln Heritage Council}}</ref>

'''Tunnel Mill Scout Reservation''' is a [[Scouts BSA]] camp just outside [[Charlestown, Indiana]], owned by the [[Scouting in Kentucky#Lincoln Heritage Council|Lincoln Heritage Council]]. In 1917 local Troop 3 decided to use the property as a summer camp, as it would for three summers. The '''George Rogers Clark Council''' shortly after 1927 bought Tunnel Mill from the Murphy family, who had bought the property the previous year but lost interest after a mill fire. In 1933 the three-sided wooden Pioneer Village cabins were built. In 1942 the [[Scoutmaster]]'s Cabin and Evergreen cabins were completed. In 1950 the McDonald Bridge was completed across [[Fourteen Mile Creek]]. The camp saw its greatest use in the 1950s and 1960s, with 564 Scouts, the highest attendance ever, in 1960. In 1969 the swimming pool was built, to replace the creek, now-unsafe for swimming. By the 1980s the lessening attendance made the future of the camp uncertain. When the George Rogers Clark Council, which owned the property, merged with '''Old Kentucky Home Council''', one of the conditions was that Tunnel Mill would not be closed. Since 1993 the camp has been used primarily by [[Cub Scouts (Boy Scouts of America)|Cub Scouts]] and for winter camping.<ref name="Purlee">{{Cite book |last=Purlee |first=Gary D. |title=Tunnel Mill: the story of an historical grist mill and an historic Boy Scout camp |year=2005}}</ref> The property includes a cabin village, a swimming pool, and a dining hall built in 2000. The new dining hall replaced the one from the 1980s that once served as a steakhouse in [[Jeffersonville, Indiana|Jeffersonville]].

On November 6, 1996, Andy Campbell, a ranger serving as Tunnel Mill's caretaker, was shot to death by Roger Caldwell, "a diagnosed, paranoid schizophrenic" who trespassed onto the property while drunk.<ref name="campbell">{{Cite web |last=Reynolds |first=Janna |title=Caldwell receives 70 years for shooting of Tunnel Mill Ranger |url=http://www.gbpnews.com/news/l013101.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060505042700/http://www.gbpnews.com/news/l013101.htm |archive-date=2006-05-05 |access-date=2006-09-03 |publisher=Green Banner Publications}}</ref> This was the first such incident in the history of Scouting.<ref name="Purlee" /> Campbell was able to drag himself {{convert|50|ft|m}} to call 911. After police arrived on the scene to get information about the drunk from Campbell, they found Caldwell wandering on Indiana Highway 62. Caldwell was sentenced to 70 years in prison, with parole possible after 31 years.
