Lord Baden Powell on Reverence
“No man is much good unless he believes in God and obeys His laws. So every Scout should have a religion….Religion seems a very simple thing: First: Love and Serve God. Second: Love and serve your neighbour.” – (Scouting For Boys, 1908)
Claymen Chapel – est 1965
Claymen Chapel was dedicated in 1965. It has served as a location for many chapel services, weddings, Order of the Arrow Vigil meetings and so much more. As we move into the next 100 years at Mitigwa Scout Reservation it is fitting to remember those that came before us and honor those still with us. For this we are asking for donations for improvements to Claymen Chapel.
Improvements are under way!
The Abe Claymen Chapel Memorial Garden renovation has begun. Our troops have been cleaning up our current facilites during summer camp.
Entering a new century of Scouting
With funds that are raised we will be constructing a new double pillar entry to the chapel and placing a brick walkway down the center between the benches. A plaque will be placed by the pillars that will have brass tag memorials.
