The Jewel of Mid-Iowa Council
Nestled on the hills above the river near Madrid, the magic of this place keeps calling to all that have been able to experience her glory. Throughout your journey through scouting, we hope that you are blessed with the opportunity to enjoy all that the Mitigwa Scout Reservation has to offer.
The reservation has over 460 acres of rolling valleys and ridges. Hidden between two ridges, Lake Fisher is a man-made lake which provides adequate space for canoeing, rowing, kayaking, motor boating, fishing, and small boat sailing. The reservation has six year-round wood heated cabins available for weekend rental, as well as a heated shower facility. A thirty foot, five-sided Rappelling Tower is located on Blank Ridge, as well as a C.O.P.E. course (Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience) on Frankel Ridge which includes a 400’ zipline, and a triangle event that includes Gap Step, Balance Beam and Skywalk events. Both the tower and the C.O.P.E. course can be reserved through the Maytag Scout Center by a troop or crew.
