A key task of the Camping Committee is to provide information about the positive impact of camping on your unit program. Of course, we want every unit in our district to camp and we want to see all of them camp at one of council camps as part of their resident camping program! To help share information about our camping programs and the benefits of camping on your unit program, you will soon have the ability to schedule a Camp Promotion Presentation for your unit.
We are in the process of assembling Cub Scout and Scouts BSA Camp Promotion Teams who will be prepared to visit your unit to share more information about our camp programs and how to take advantage of these experiences. Surveys continually affirm that units who have youth and adults attend camp have better programs, gain ideas from other people and have more fun in Scouting than those that do not camp as part of their program!
Look forward to having one of these Camp Promotion Teams visit your unit soon!

At the local level, Tamegonit Lodge operates within the Heart of America Council to support Scouting throughout the council. The lodge is divided into Chapters, which match the geographic district boundaries of the Council. The Chapter is led by a youth Chapter Chief and advised by an adult Chapter Advisor. Our Chapter Chief is Simon and his Advisor is Marty Fahncke. To contact the Chapter leaders, we ask that you call or email Marty, whose contact information can be found on the IH District Leadership Page.
Our Chapter is available to the units of Iron Horse District to support many different programs. Among the programs they help support include Troop & Crew OA Elections, Callout Ceremonies to announce those elected or nominated to the Order of the Arrow, and staffing various district activities and events. If you would like to take advantage of any of the programs the OA conducts to support your program, please feel free to contact the OA Chapter:

Mic-O-Say serves as a leadership enhancement program of the Heart of America Council designed to help the Heart of America Council fulfill its mission of preparing the young people of Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri to make ethical choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
Mic-O-Say accomplishes its purposes by affording members ongoing opportunities for introspection on Scouting values as well as practical application of those ideals. The program is focused on Scouts who have shown leadership abilities through specific achievement and growth, and provides them with a distinctive lifelong direction. The program is energized by memorable customs and traditions.
Tribesmen who have embraced the principles of Mic-O-Say will find their lives enriched by a vision raised to higher sights, see their performance increased beyond previous limitations, and will develop lifelong friendships. They will stand tall within their communities as examples of unselfish service and of willing leadership.
