Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Heersink Scout Reservation and Enterprise Chamber of Commerce. We were especially grateful for the support of our local business leaders and community partners who came out to see firsthand what Scouting has to offer the youth of our communities.

Heersink Scout Reservation is more than just a camp—it's a place where young people develop leadership skills, build character, learn outdoor skills, and create lifelong memories. We are proud to provide these opportunities and are excited to share this incredible facility with our community.

Did you know that the camp is available for rentals? Whether you're planning a retreat, meeting, training event, wedding, or special gathering, we'd love to help. Just give us a call to learn more.

A special thank you to Dr. Heersink for his outstanding support and generosity. His commitment is helping provide adventure, leadership development, and life-changing experiences for Scouts today and for generations to come.

We look forward to continuing to serve our youth and community through the programs and opportunities offered at Heersink Scout Reservation.

Scouting America Military Family Fee Waiver

Effective June 1, 2026, Scouting America is expanding access to Scouting for military-connected youth by waiving the $85 national youth registration fee for eligible families. This program applies to youth members only and is available for both new and renewing online registrations. The initiative is funded nationally through philanthropic efforts.

Eligible families include those with current service in the Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard. The waiver covers only the national youth registration fee, reducing the $85 cost to $0 after the required verification and discount code process is completed. Local council fees, unit dues, optional add-ons such as Scout Life magazine, and processing fees may still apply.

To receive the waiver, families should select “Get Military Discount Code” during the online registration process, complete the verification steps, receive the verification code, and enter it at checkout. Once the code is applied, the national registration fee is reduced to $0.

Scouting America notes that the $85 fee may initially appear during checkout but will be removed after the verification code is entered. The waiver is available only for online registrations.

Thank you to Enterprise Rescue Inc. for their donation of an AED to Heersink Scout Reservation. This will help us continue to have a safe environment for our Scouts and Scouters.

Hopefully we will never have to use it, but a Scout is PREPARED!!
