On this day in history... Sunday, June 26th, 1966, was the opening day of the first year of camp at Ransburg Scout Reservation. 60 years later, we are proud to be one of the best camps in the nation and thankful to all of you for your support and dedication, and here's to many more years to come!

Despite the severe weather and tornado warnings last evening, all Scouts, Scouters, and Staff are safe and now enjoying a beautiful morning of program activities.

Thank you US National Weather Service Indianapolis Indiana for your partnership with us. Their support allows the camp leadership team to safely and proactively initiate our camp’s extensive and immediate emergency procedures. A Scout is Prepared!

On Monday, Crossroads of America Council was excited to welcome Governor Mike Braun to Ransburg Scout Reservation to see firsthand the incredible impact camp has on youth in Scouting. Governor Braun is both an Eagle Scout and the first sitting Governor of Indiana to visit Ransburg!

Despite the weather and the late night, the Scouts here at Ransburg are in high spirits in their severe weather refuges; singing, playing games, and even practicing their Scout skills!

Thanks to our partnership with the National Weather Service and the thoughtful advance planning of our team, we were able to move everyone to their designated severe weather refuge locations well ahead of the worst of the weather, and we will stay in these locations until the severe weather has passed.

This week for Merit Badge Monday we are featuring the ATV Adventure Program!

One of our many offerings for older Scouts in your unit, ATV is for Scouts who are 14 or older. Participants learn how to operate an ATV safely and then ride out to explore camp. In order to participate, Scouts must have a signed permission form and have completed the ASI eCourse online before their class (https://www.ransburgbsa.org/atv). ATV riders must also wear a long-sleeve shirt, long pants, and sturdy ankle boots.

🛞 See you this summer! 🛞
