Kimball Scout Reservation In Action

If you have not seen Kimball Scout Reservation lately, you need to come and see what all the fuss is about.  We have added new programs and facilities to make your camping experience top notch.

Our new clay pigeon throwers make it easier for our youth to excell at the Shotgun Merit Badge

The new basketball stand gives the boys something fun to do during free swim. 

 The Honor Trail is a great evening activity that ends with a interfaith worship service

Our interfaith service at Serenity Hall

 First Aid being taught under the new porch of the Founders Lodge

 Yes, they are fishing at Lake Marrietta.  The lake was recently stocked with catfish and bluegill.  This last week boys spent time in the evenings trying to catch the biggest fish.  Some succeeded and others had fun trying.

We have bought new shotguns, clay pigeon throwers, kayaks, pool toys, and so much more.  Scoutmasters can even get WIFI on the new porch to keep on their work.  We are committed to making camp a better place and we have just scratched the surface of the things to come.

Thanks for you support.

Kimball Scout Reservations New Look

The new buildings at Kimball Scout Reservation make your camping experience even better.

Here is a look at the downtown part of camp looking from the Shotgun Range. 

Our Health Officer teaching the First Aid  merit badge to some of our first week Scouts.

The Founders Health Lodge provides a great facility to take care of campers and also provides plenty of shade and for the leaders.  You can even catch up on emails with WIFI now available.


The new Potosi Pete's Trading post also has a porch that provides shade. For all those looking to cool off they can come in get a cold drink or slushy and relax under the porch.

Looking at the Trading Post from the Founders Lodge porch.

Trees have been planted and many more to come will be planted to help provide additional shade.  If you have not seen Kimball Scout Reservation lately you need to come see what we have to offer and put us in your camp rotation.  We promise you won't be disapointed.



New Buildings at Kimball Scout Reservation

As promised we will continue to give you updates on the new buildings under construction at Kimball Scout Reservation

Here is the new founders lodge at Kimball.  This building will serve as the new medical building and camp office.  The porch will be reserved for Scout Masters to catch some shade under and maybe even catch up on some emails from back at the office.  This building will be complete by the end of May, 2012 and ready for use this coming summer.

If yo have not been to Kimball lately, its time to come and see what we are all about and the great program that we offer to our youth.

Jump For Scouting

How do you show your support for Scouting?  Are you willing to jump 855 feet off of the Statosphere Tower in an effort to raise money for inners city Scout units?  If so then next year you need to participate in the annual Jump For Scouting event.  This year the Las Vegas Area Council held its second annual Jump For Scouting to benefit the inner city Scoutreach programs of the Counil.  Each jumper is asked to raise $1,000 to sponsor their jump.  Many of them are willing to write a check and some had many friends and coworkers help pitch in.  In the end it is all the same valueable money is raised to provide Scouting to youth who can not afford it on their own.  What a great way to provide the values of Scouting to the youth of Las Vegas.

Show your support next year by jumping yourself or help fund a jumper from you business.
