Mid Iowa Council

Mitigwa Scout Reservation

Camp Service Award

Application opens March 1st and closes April 30th

Created in 2022 to commemorate the 100th summer of continuous operation and to celebrate the 2023 centennial anniversary, the Camp Service Award is the highest honor awarded by the Mid-Iowa Council for service provided directly to the Mitigwa Scout Reservation. Nominations are for any registered adult Scouter who has made considerable contributions to the success of the reservation in providing a premier Scouting experience. Considerable contributions are measured in contributions to the camp program, facilities, and promotion. Staff of Mid -Iowa Council, including camp staff, field staff, and support staff, are eligible for this award for exceptional service and length of tenure. Other service may be included in the nomination, but contributions to the camp will be the determining criterion. Nominations should include a cover letter with general information about the nominee and the nomination form. Awardees will be announced at the June Friends & Alumni Celebration, with the conferring of special plaques made from Mitigwa wood. No more than ten Camp Service Awards will be awarded in one year. The committee reserves the right to not grant the award if an insufficient number or quality of nominations is not received. A selection committee will be convened by the current Reservation Director, composed of no fewer than 5 previous award recipients. Nominations may be sent to Scott Robinson at Scott.Robinson@scouting.org or mailed to The Mitigwa Scout Reservation c/o Scott Robinson, 1820 Magnolia Rd, Woodward, IA 50276
