On the east shore of Tommys Lake is Camp Agawam. The camp was a Boy Scout camp founded in 1918[3] by the Boy Scouts of America's (B.S.A.) Clinton Valley Council. The 140-acre (57 ha) camp served as a summer camp and weekend campout location for countless scouts in Oakland County until being sold by the B.S.A.'s Michigan Crossroads Council to Orion Township in 2014. The camp and lake now host numerous events and activities throughout the year for both Scouts and community members alike.
