The Loopalooza is designed to be an outdoor event, making weather an uncontrollable factor. We hope you understand that the health and safety of Scouts, guardians, and volunteers always comes first.

Thank you for a great weekend at Busy Beaver/OA Induction!
What a great weekend of service to camp. Busy Beaver and Crazy Horse Lodge Order Of The Arrow Spring Induction combined for a total of 264 hours of service to camp. Our camp Ranger Brent Nelson was so happy with all of the work that was completed. Just think about if the Ranger had to complete all of this work on his own. . . working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week would take the ranger 7 weeks to complete all of these projects.
Thank you all for all of your hard work and dedication this really was a weekend of cheerful service and proves the old saying that “Many hands make light work.”
