Give To The Max Day is November 19, 2020

Give to the Max for Scouting in Southeast Minnesota. 

Gamehaven Council BSA was incorporated to provide a program for community organizations that offers character, citizenship, and personal fitness training to youth. 

To serve others by helping to instill values in young people and, in other ways, to prepare them to make ethical choices during their lifetime in achieving their full potential.

The values we strive to instill are based on those found in the Scout Oath and Law

During the Pandemic- Gamehaven Council has continued their mission by innovating or expanding its services to encourage Scouts remain active, and still have opportunities to learn and build character. Below are a few examples of programs we have updated:

1. Virtual Summer Camp Event for our Cub Scouts
2. Teamed up with another council to offer more virtual events and the opportunity for Scouts to expand their horizons with other Scouts in a different council. 
3. Merit Badge Online Classes- A number of classes were offered virtually by trained Merit Badge Counselors who are experts in their field. This gives our young Scouts the opportunity to learn about the things that interest them and to continue working on their Scout ranks.
4. Currently renovating the Dining Pavilion at Gamehaven Scout Reservation. Working in conjunction with Health Department to set up a place for units to meet and still offer appropriate ventilation to help prevent Covid spread. 
5.  With Camp re-opening in July, we are currently offering all units the use of Gamehaven Scout Reservation for outdoor activities at no cost.
