Scout Camp on Lake Okoboji Hosts 1088 Scouts This Summer
Boy Scout Leaders describe camping as core to the troop program. About 1088 Scouts from 86 units spent a week at the Council Camp on Lake Okoboji, one of two reservations totaling over 300 acres. The Prairie Gold Scout Reservation, bought for 35000 six years ago, now valued over 60000 with new facilities. Friends of Scouting drives aim to retire the remaining debt of 5000 by October 25 during the 1955 budget appeal.
