A link to Gilwell







Camp Hiawatha has a living link with Gilwell Scout Camp in England where Baden Powell conducted the first Wood Badge Course. Dr. Ron Reynolds is an Eagle Scout alumnus from Troop 305 in Marquette who is an active Scouter in Cincinnati. He completed Wood Badge and went on a tour to Gilwell Park. There, he collected acorns from beneath the Gilwell Oak that he planted on his return home. He sent us two, one to plant at camp in the Scout craft area and one at the office.
