We were honored to formally dedicate two outstanding new structures at Lewis & Clark Scout Camp: the Health Lodge and Administration Building, and the Davey Jones Center for Nature and Science. The 3,400-square-foot Health Lodge includes consultation rooms, resting rooms, health officer quarters, offices for the Camp and Program Directors, and an expanded lobby, enhancing our check-in and wellness experience. This facility was made possible through the generosity of T. Denny Sanford. The Davey Jones Center, dedicated to Davey Jones' 37 summers of commitment to Scouting, features a museum, a hands-on classroom, and four program pavilions offering environmental sciences merit badges.
