Camp Staff Scholarship

The Mitigwa Scout Reservation Summer Camp Staff Scholarship Fund is a celebration of the camp's centennial anniversary and financially supports Mid-Iowa Council's gratitude for summer camp staff service.

The Young Fellowship is named after Dr. Joshua E. Young, who has served on camp staff for nearly 20 years, including service as Camp Director and Reservation Director. A fierce advocate for camp staff, Josh worked at Mitigwa from the beginning of his college education to the completion of his PhD in Communication and Public Discourse in 2015. One of Josh's visions was to encourage life-long learning through financial support for camp staff educational pursuits. Thus, he helped establish the Mitigwa Scout Reservation Summer Camp Staff Scholarship Fund.

It is important to Dr. Young to recognize all who make efforts to support life-long learning; therefore, those contributing at least $250 to the Mitigwa Scout Reservation Summer Camp Staff Scholarship Fund are inducted into the Young Fellowship, receiving a certificate and an acorn suspended from a red and white striped ribbon.
