    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.

  • Caves at Maquoketa Caves State Park Open April 15: Tips to Plan Your Visit
    Caves at Maquoketa Caves State Park open April 15: Tips to plan your visit Visitors to Maquoketa Caves State Park can fully explore the park’s caves starting April 15, 2021 after being closed for more than a year due to COVID and winter bat hibernation. Located in eastern Iowa’s Jackson County, Maquoketa Caves State Park is one of Iowa’s most popular outdoor destinations, with the largest cave system in the state, gorgeous scenery and unique geological formations drawing thousands of visitors each year. Because of the park’s popularity and expected high crowds in the 2021 travel season, here are some tips and suggestions for planning your trip: • Parking is limited. With less than 150 parking spots and as many as 1,500 people coming to the park on a summer weekend day, park staff recommend visiting mid-week or avoiding the peak window of 11-4 p.m. on weekends. Parking will only be allowed in designated spots for the safety of visitors and to protect natural areas. If parking spots are not available, please come back at a later time. • Same-day camping now an option. Campers to Maquoketa Caves can now reserve as late as the day they plan to visit, with 100 percent of campsites reservable. The campground was recently renovated to offer more modern amenities. To find links for camping reservations, visit: www.iowadnr.gov/Maquoketcaves • Learn from interpreters. In summer months, naturalists offer programming on a variety of outdoor topics. If entering the caves, upon your arrival plan on attending a short, required program about White Nosed Bat Syndrome and how you can prevent its spread.

Although based on many aspects of true life stories, places and events, all the characters are entirely fictitious and any resemblance to living people, apart from famous persons, whose lives are in the public domain, is co- incidental. At first, we may look at the land as a history book, recording not only the natural events, but also the human experiences that have shaped the earth, this state, and our lives. Gradually, however, we're discovering how to understand the more subtle messages, the clues that show and tell us how we can sustain this land for future generations.

  • The University of Iowa FY 2012 Annual Report
    Office of the State Archaeologist The University of Iowa FY 2012 Annual Report Cover notes: During FY 2012 the OSA celebrated two milestones that individually reflect important achievements related to our mission of preserving Iowa’s past, and which in combination provide a significant boost to our research capabilities. OSA completed long overdue expansion and renovation of the State Archaeological Repository with installation of additional modern compact mobile storage that increases capacity 60 percent to nearly 7,000 ft3. OSA also became the curatorial facility on behalf of the Iowa DNR for the 60 ft3 Sagers Collection, a seminal archaeological assemblage from eastern Iowa replete with detailed notes, maps, and associated documentation that position it well for use in comparative analyses, especially for Woodland-era culture investigations. To commemorate these achievements, and to thank the Sagers Family for their cooperation, OSA held a community-wide open house event at which the entire Sagers Collection was displayed.
