This “Camp Journal” represents the growth of old traditions into new ideas, of young boys into leaders.
It documents the tremendous dedication and support of our community in helping to grow our facilities and our capacity to enhance the lives of the boys who pass through our camps and our organization. It is a reflection of growth as an individual, as a Scout and as an organization–all with one important purpose, to
create better citizens and men.

We readily attribute our growth to these generous volunteers, contributors, leaders, parents, friends, and–of course–the Scouts. It is through this teamwork that we achieve success and help young people achieve their full potential.
The 2005 Annual Report looks back at a year of capital improvements at our two major camping facilities and makes those accomplishments come alive. It’s a bridge between old traditions and new growth, between what’s architectural and what’s organic. In this report you will find a chronicle of improvements, a reflection of experiences, and a reminder of what Scouting can be when our parents, community leaders, educators, and young people are given the proper resources to deliver on our promise.
Thank you for your support in this endeavor. Now lace up your boots, grab your gear, and explore the experience this year through this “Camp Journal.”
Sincerely,
Clifford W. Illig Council President

Tiger Cubs and Cub Scouting – For boys in first through fifth grades, providing family centered activities that help boys develop teamwork, develop new skills, and to do their very best.
Boy Scouts – Serving young men ages 11 to 18, this program provides an environment in which young men become leaders as they mentor other young men that join the program. Self-reliance and self-esteem build as young people discover the outdoors and work toward the rank of Eagle.
Varsity Scouting – For young men who are 14 to 18 years old to grow in teamwork and physical fitness in sports-related activities and outdoor adventure. These youth plan and implement their own activities, learning to set and accomplish goals, while having fun.
Venturing – This program focuses on hobbies and hands-on activities that our older youth indicate an interest in. Through active participation, young people experience hands-on leadership through a co- educational program for young adults from ninth grade to age 21.
Exploring – Programs conducted in the workplace for young people ages 14 to 21. Exploring helps young men and women learn firsthand about career fields including law enforcement, architecture, and health care. Post leadership comes from its members and the organization that shares their career opportunities. Preparing young people to make sound life choices as they complete high school and start a secondary education program is what Exploring is all about.
Learning for Life – This value-based education program develops boys and girls in kindergarten through twelfth grade. Its goal is to prepare students for life by helping them learn ethical decision-making skills, social skills, and to grow in social adeptness. Lessons are classroom based and age appropriate. K-6 curriculum focuses on students’ decision making while 7-12 grades develop a career interest profile along with the needed skills to research and prepare for a specific profession.

TOTAL Units and Groups 1,267 The Heart of America Council’s Executive Board authorized the Scoutreach program in 1988 to ensure that all young people, despite their socioeconomic status, can participate in Scouting.
Through the use of program aides that serve as adult leaders, Scouting brings its excitement and adventure to young people in the urban core of Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, Kansas. Scouts participate in camps, enjoy field trips, and earn rank advancements while connecting with positive adult role models. This is made possible through the generosity of numerous donors in the Heart of America Council.
The Scoutreach program serves 11,522 young men and women in the urban core of Kansas City. Currently 5,133 young men are served through the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing programs and 6,389 young men and women are served through the Exploring and Learning for Life programs.
Camping is for all, and one way to make this guarantee is to ensure that dollars are available for those in need. Our Campership program allows a young person to earn his way to camp through service to others. This instills the fact that a Scout is thrifty into the boy’s values. Through the Campership program, 794 Scouts received more than $114,000 in support to help them experience the fun and excitement of camping in the summer of 2005.
Despite physical or mental abilities, Scouting is a program that is there for everyone. Special Needs Scouting ensures that all young people can experience lifelong memories of campfires and the outdoors. Much of this magic is delivered at Rotary Camp to 57 Scouts with special needs. Scouts participate in swimming, crafts, and earn merit badges.
One of the greatest discoveries here at camp is finding friends, because although we may come from different cities, different worlds even, our shared experience becomes a strong bond that lasts a lifetime. The Heart of America Council’s camping program is recognized as a national leader. In 2005, over 82% of our Boy Scouts and 54% of our Cub Scouts participated in a summer camping experience. This equates to 13,894 young people who enjoyed a Heart of America Council summer camp program. The outdoors is an environmental educational facility that Scouting believes should be a vital part of every Scout’s life. Young men and women learn how their actions can negatively or positively affect others and the environment while at camp. It is important that resources are conserved for future generations while at the same time providing enjoyment and learning opportunities today. An outdoor environment builds confidence and improves self-esteem in the young person that learns to respect nature.
H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation – Over 4,400 acres of outdoor fun, the hills of Osceola hosted 5,911 Boy Scouts in 2005. The H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation’s environment challenged Scouts to hone their skills in swimming, boating, conservation, rifle and shotgun, and wilderness survival. Camp leaves a lasting memory on those who come for the first time as well as those who return for their fifth year. New experiences are available for those who want to try it all.
Theodore Naish Scout Reservation – Over 1,100 acres of oak and hickory covered hills located near Bonner Springs, Kansas, play host to Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts each summer. With improvements at Cub World and in Central Camp, Scouts get to enjoy the latest outdoor experience. A highlight this summer was the Cub Scout Bear Camp that served 780 Cub Scouts and their parents. In total, 680 Boy Scouts attended camp at the Theodore Naish Scout Reservation and 2,935 Webelos enjoyed an overnight camping experience. The new Pirate’s Ship and the Lost Mine were big hits.
Cub Scout Day Camp – 3,532 Cub Scouts participated in this year’s Day Camp program. These programs are held in local parks so that a Cub Scout can participate without great distance of travel. It also provides a way for Scouting to showcase its program in public. Archery, crafts, rope making, first aid training, and water games were all part of the fun for these Cub Scouts enjoying their first taste of camp.
High Adventure Experiences – 1,130 Scouts from the Heart of America Council participated in a National High Adventure program at the Florida Sea Base, Philmont Scout Reservation, or Charles L. Sommers Canoe Base. This is an opportunity for Scouts to enjoy How many boys have come before me?adventure in a part of the country they have never before traveled to How many have felt the excitementand to meet Scouts from around the country. and pride I feel right now? Good Turn for America Since 1910, Scouting has provided community service to our local communities. From leading the recycling effort through World War II to national good turns through Scouting for Food, we have been there to help when America needs us. In 2005, 237 Heart of America units logged onto www.goodturnforamerica.org and recorded 492 community service projects. Over 7,048 Scouts invested over 21,000 hours of community service in the areas of providing food, shelter, or healthy living improvements to others. Each day we look for positive stories in our press. We need to remember that they happen every day in Scouting. Unsung heroes out doing a good turn daily. In addition to this, we had 1,021 Star Scouts and 913 Life Scouts that provided a minimum of 3 hours of community service as they advanced in rank. Our 805 Eagle Scouts planned and implemented 805 community service projects to assist others.
Advancement Although a young person joins Scouting to have fun, the program provides an opportunity for personal growth through the use of the advancement program. This program teaches a young person how to set goals and then work to achieve those goals. Scouts gain self-esteem and self-confidence as they set these goals, achieve them, and are then recognized through the rank advancement program. In 2005, 805 Boy Scouts earned the rank of Eagle Scout, Scouting’s highest honor. 10,104 Cub Scouts advanced in rank and 34,248 merit badges were earned.
Collaboration is important to the Boy Scouts of America as we deliver our program to young people. It is through hundreds of organizations in Kansas City that Scouting is delivered to young people each week in churches, schools, and service organizations. In 2005, 1,267 packs, troops, teams, crews, posts, and groups were chartered by one of these community partners. These outside groups receive a charter to conduct the Scouting program in their local neighborhood as a means to serve young people in the community.
By partnering with a Chartered Organization, Scouting can be affordably offered to all young people and it can be offered locally thus reducing barriers to participate. We appreciate the hundreds of churches, schools, service clubs, and other organizations that charter the Scouting program to serve young people in their community.
The United Way in our service area is an important partner with Scouting. In 2005, the Heart of America Council received $985,056 in allocations and donor designations from United Way. This support, while shrinking, assisted , There’s no greater our mission of delivering quality Scouting programs to more adventure than Scouting and than 43,614 young men and women in 19 counties in Kansas no greater reward than becoming and Missouri. a better man.

Much of this construction was in direct support of providing quality programs during the summer at Theodore Naish Scout Reservation and H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation. Without the leadership of Co-Chairs Terry and Peggy Dunn, Dr. John and Mary Hunkeler, and Cliff and Bonne Illig, our completed building projects would not have been possible. Over $16,659,857 has been pledged to support our efforts. Of the total, $11,389,000 represents support of new facilities and $5,270,000 represents gifts for the council endowment to ensure the future longevity of Scouting and the facilities that are built.
2005 saw a building boom at Camp Naish with completion of the dining hall, swimming pool, camp office, trading post, handicraft shelter along with Cub World improvements of the Pirate Ship Water Park, the Lost Mine, and a dining shelter.
H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation included many infrastructure improvements to water, sewer, electrical, and communications lines. A new handicraft and nature lodge were added to Camp Piercing Arrow, the Fort Long model campsite was completed, and plans were established to upgrade the Lone Bear Council Ring.
There are still many opportunities available for individuals or corporations that would like to make a difference in outdoor programs offered to young people. We thank those that have made a commitment and extend an invitation for you to visit one of our camping facilities throughout the year.
Every new addition adds a new adventure. You can feel the foundation and the history and it makes you proud to be a part of it.
