The Winnebago Council

The Winnebago Council serves more than 4,500 youth in 17 counties in North Central Iowa. With the Council headquarters in Waterloo and a service center in Mason City, the council also has four Districts (Lakeland, Sun Rivers, Twin Rivers, & Wabuha).

The Scouting program includes:

Cub Scouts (Boys; 1st-5th grade)

Boy Scouts (Boys; 10-18 years of age)

Venturing (Young Men & Women; 14 up to 21 years of age)

Exploring (Young Men & Women; 14 up to 21 years of age)

Learning for Life (Pre K-12th Grade).

The Winnebago Council owns and operates two Scout camps – the Ingawanis Adventure Base (I.A.B.) near Waverly, Iowa, and the Winnebago Scout Reservation (W.S.R.) near Marble Rock, Iowa. The camps are home to Cub Scout Day Camps, Cub and Webelos Resident Camps, Klondike Derbies, Boy Scout Summer Camps, Polar Bear Camps, Snowy Owl (winter camping experience), and more. The facilities are open year-around and are available for Scouts, non-Scouts, and other organizations.

Activities available (at either I.A.B. or W.S.R.) include: swimming, tent or cabin camping (including “Hobbit Houses” and Adirondacks), horseback riding, mountain biking, pedal go karts, Project C.O.PE., climbing, shooting sports (including BB, rifle, shotgun, and archery), hiking, canoeing, kayaking, and much more.
