Scouting Builds More Than Just Campfires…

Outdoor adventure is the promise made to boys when they join Scouting. Boys yearn for outdoor programs that stir their imagination and interest.

In the outdoors, boys have opportunities to acquire skills that make them more self-reliant. They can explore canoe and hiking trails and complete challenges they first thought were beyond their ability. Attributes of good character become part of a boy as he learns to cooperate to meet outdoor challenges that may include extreme weather, difficult trails and portages, and dealing with nature's unexpected circumstances.

The Mid-Iowa Council camping programs provide many opportunities to learn, grow, and do new things.  Scouts will benefit from their time spent at camp in ways not imaginable – some not evident until months or years after their experience.
