OA Scoutreach Mentoring
and Nature Quest

The Witauchsoman Lodge of Minsi Trails Council #502 developed a program called Nature Quest in 2003 to work with the Scoutreach Mentoring. This program was continued in 2004 and 2005. In 2006, Nature Quest IV was developed to better meet the needs of the districts in the council which often held Scoutreach Mentoring unit activities directly after school. A separate committee in the lodge was created specifically for Scoutreach Mentoring and an operating budget was assigned for the year.

With Nature Quest IV, the lodge targeted Scoutreach District events held for Soutreach Troops and Packs participating in a wide variety of activities. These activities included pinewood derbies, day camps, and the summer camporee. This past fall, the youth Arrowmen planned, organized, and ran the Fall Camporee when it was unlikely to happen. The camporee was a great success and benefited many of the troops in the council. This forward thinking leadership demonstrated the OA’s brotherhood of honored campers and ongoing efforts with the Scoutreach Mentoring program.
