R.D. Dunkin Lodge to be constructed at Camp Loud Thunder

The Camping Committee and the Executive Committee of the Illowa Council are excited to announce the plans to honor our Scouter friend, Mr. R. D. Dunkin. As you know R.D. was a life-long Scout and shared his vision to help young people grow to exceptional strengths with the right combination of leadership education, mentorship and the love of Scouting.

In R.D.’s honor the Council Camping Committee has completed a plan directed by R.D.’s will to construct a staff building at Loud Thunder Scout Reservation. This structure, the RD Dunkin Lodge, will primarily house youth staff during summer camp, but be available to all Scout Units the balance of the year. RD had a unique vision prescribed helping young people grow; the Council plans to use this facility as a training center for youth, adults and a retreat center for Scouts like the Order of the Arrow or to be a troop’s winter camping site.

The lodge will have accommodations for up to forty youth and adults, expanded bathrooms, showers, a small kitchen and laundry facility. The focal point of the lodge is the central fellowship hall designed to have the flexibility to be a respite for staff during summer camp or to be set-up for formal and informal uses like training sessions and meetings. This space will have a rustic ambience including a fireplace to encourage fellowship, a memorial area to honor Scouting and all the modern A/V capabilities completing RD’s vision.

While R.D.’s estate and family have contributed substantially, we are in need to raise an additional $100,000. It is our hope that supporters will help us complete the fundraising phase in the next few months to make R.D.’s vision a reality.

For more information, you may contact the Scout Service Center at (563) 388-7233.
