    Where to go camping Written by: Sac-n-fox lodge #108 #173 Winnebago Council, Boy Scouts of America 2929 Airport Blvd Waterloo, Iowa 50703 319-234-2867 www.winnebagobsa.org The Order of the Arrow The Order of the Arrow is Scouting’s "Brotherhood of Honor Campers." We promote camping and the outdoor experience. We are a regular part of the BSA's camping program. We participate at both the Troop and Council levels. We are guided by the principles of Cheerful Service. This guide is an example of that cheerful service. Purpose of the Order of the Arrow 1. To recognize the campers - Scouts and Scouters - who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and by such recognition, cause other campers to conduct themselves in such manner to warrant recognition. 2. To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit. 3. To promote scout camping, which reaches its greatest effectiveness as part of the Unit? Camping program, to help the District and Council camping program both year around and in the Summer Camp, as directed by the Camping Committee and the Council. 4. To crystalize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others. History Dr. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson founded the Order of the Arrow in 1915 at the Treasure Island Camp of the Philadelphia Council, Boy Scouts of America. It became an official program experiment in 1922 and was approved as part of the Scouting program in 1934. In 1948, the Order of the arrow, recognized as the Boy Scouts of America's national brotherhood of honored campers, became an official part of the camping program of the Boy Scouts of America.

  • Governor Reynolds Proclaims April As Keep Iowa Beautiful Month
    Spring 2019 GOVERNOR REYNOLDS PROCLAIMS APRIL AS KEEP IOWA BEAUTIFUL MONTH Now, therefore, I, Kim Reynolds, Governor of the State of Iowa, do hereby proclaim April 2019 as KEEP IOWA BEAUTIFUL MONTH and encourage all citizens to embrace KIB programs by undertaking personal and organizational efforts that will enhance the beauty of our State. Chris Kramer, Director of the Department of Cultural Affairs; Helen Lowman, President & CEO of Keep America Beautiful; Gov. Kim Reynolds; Gerry Schnepf, KIB Executive Director and Reo Menning, Chair of KIB Board of Directors. Governor Kim Reynolds signed a proclamation making April Keep Iowa Month, but what does it really mean for our State? It means that our residents and governing bodies recognize and commit to bringing cultural and economic vitality into communities through improvement and enhancement programs. Honoring these efforts help build a stronger Iowa. But for individual Iowans it means that your efforts, too, can play an effective role in living out this proclamation. Pick up litter when you see it, organize a volunteer clean-up group to tackle unsightly areas of your community, be a beautification advocate and work with your city officials and organizations to find grants that fund improvement projects. Big or small, you can proclaim your love for Iowa! Let us know what you are doing in your community!
