Beautiful weather and comfortable temperatures helped spark participation numbers, according to Coffelt. “This is just the first of many outdoor events being planned to celebrate the state park centennial in 2020, so get ready for a fun year.” Look for more information on centennial celebration opportunities at www.iowadnr.gov/parks2020 This was the 9th year of First Day Hikes in Iowa, with 1,400 hikers in 2019.

Norvitch ABSTRACT The alluvial channel deposits described in this report are in Nobles County, Minn., about 150 miles southwest of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Although four municipalities and many farms obtain part or all of their water needs from the alluvium, it has not yet been fully developed for ground water. The extent of the alluvial channel deposits was mapped on high-altitude aerial photographs, and a power auger was used to bore 43 test holes to determine the thickness of alluvium and the water level at each of the test sites.

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.
