With our medical healthcare system in need of face masks, we challenge our local Scouts and leaders to help make face masks during this time of need. While making these face masks, please send us pictures of your progress to help publicize the great work our Scouts are doing during this time.
Please send photos of you and your Scouts making your face masks to Stephen Mayne via email at: stephen.mayne@scouting.org.Â

Hey Hawkeye Area Council Scouts!
Feeling cooped up? Missing your Scout friends? Ready to have some FUN?
Join other Scouts, their families, and Council staff as we come together for the Hawkeye Area Council Virtual Campout on Friday, April 24-25 on Facebook!
You can setup your campsite in your backyard, put up a tent in your basement, build a pillow fort, or sleep in an RV. You decide how best to maintain Social Distance and to follow safe practices for Scouting!
During the overnight attendees are invited to share videos (no more than 3 minutes, please), pictures, recipes, and activities of how they are camping at home. Council staff are already preparing short tutorial videos, brushing up on Scout skills, working on camping recipes, and practicing their skits and songs to share with all of you. There may even be a special surprise visit from members of the Howard H. Cherry Scout Reservation camp staff! Show us what you’ve got using the hashtag #HACVirtualCampout.
Keep watching the Hawkeye Area Council Facebook page and hawkeyebsa.org for more details.
