Be Prepared. More than a motto.
At Scouting America, Great Rivers Council, we are driven by a single goal; to do our part in making the world a better place for all. We strive to build productive relationships and make a positive impact with all of our pursuits.
Doing what’s needed today
Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation is our big camping stage. Your support ensures the facilities are well maintained, efficient, safe, and enhances the experience Scouts have in the program.
The Scouting Adventure Center will offer a broad spectrum of programs that meet the needs of today’s families.
The Scouting Adventure Center is a place to play, learn, and create. Participants in BSA’s expert developed programs and curriculum will have a one-of-a-kind experience.
Camperships
Make camp happen for all Scouts tomorrow
We don't want a family's financial situation keep Scouts from attending camp, the campership program needs to be fully funded to meet the need this summer.
Inspiring future Inventors and Entreprenuers
Invention Scouts teach new skills and talents to help a Scout become an Inventor. We provide access to high-tech equipment, specially selected Learning Skills, and an awesome program with lots of challenges and fun competitions.
ONLINE DONATION
More than 2,500 youth in Central and Northeast Missouri take part in the once-in-a-lifetime adventures and character building programs that can only be found in Scouting. In doing so, they discover skills they never knew they had and develop into the leaders we’ll need in the years to come. Scouting makes a dramatic, positive impact on our youth, our families, and our communities, but it won’t happen without your support.
