🏕️ Make a difference together

Grab your unit or your family and take part in Reggie’s Sleepout. Spend one night outside to raise awareness and support youth experiencing homelessness in our community.

It is a powerful way to serve, learn, and give back while making a real impact.

Join us and be part of something bigger

Adult Leadership is the Responsibility of the Unit and Parents. The Mid-Iowa Council does not provide or assign adult leadership for Scout units. It is the responsibility of the unit and its parents to ensure appropriate adult leadership is in place.
