Camp Leroy Shuman was established by the Boy Scouts of America Longhorn Council in the 1920s. The Boy Scouts built several structures on the city-owned property, including a mess hall and quartermaster’s shed. When the Boy Scouts stopped using the camp in 2009, the structures were left to deteriorate until they fell victim to arson and the city removed the debris.
