Great to see Troop50 come out in numbers to help fellow Scout Aaron K with his Eagle service project to benefit a local homeless shelter. Nice job young man!

Over the past 24 hours the Air Quality Index at Camp Betz and Owasippe Scout Reservation has declined due to smoke from Canadian Wildfires. Conditions are forecast to improve throughout the day and clear up before the weekend.

A designated staff member continues to monitor air quality through national resources and the real-time monitor on site at Owasippe. To view real-time data from this weather station, you can visit: https://www.iqair.com/air-quality/usa/michigan/muskegon/owasippe-scout-reservation
Additionally, staff remain in communication with the local health agencies and neighboring camps on steps to ensure the safety of all campers.

Some activities have been modified to reduce strenuous outdoor activity until conditions improve. At this time, minimal medical care has been requested in association with pollution.
Individuals who may be at risk of health complications due to air quality should visit their camp office for more information on preventive measures that can be taken to increase safety.

We will continue to provide updates as conditions evolve.
