Deer Lake Cub Camp Dedicated!

The "Good Turn Dining Hall" at Deer Lake.

Thanks to the hard work of hundreds of volunteers and donors, Cub Scouts and their families now have a permanent home for resident camp at Deer Lake Scout Reservation starting this summer. Over 250 volunteers, donors, supporters, Scouts and staff turned out on Sunday, May 22 to officially dedicate the camp and thank those who have made this wonderful property possible. 

Council President Doug Machin noted during his remarks that this has been a long process, spanning at least four Council Presidents, but that the results speak for themselves. A new dining hall with a capacity of 298, six new lean-to campsites, three new bath/shower houses (with flush toilets), all the infra-structure to support it, and of course a brand new, high-energy Cub Scout program await our Cub Scouts this summer. And two weeks are already sold out.

There is simply not enough room to thank everyone who has been a part of making this project possible, but feel a sense of pride whatever your involvement in what we have accomplished. 

Fire and knives!!!
