Join Our Cause:
Empower Youth and Nature Together

Two decades ago, Boy Scout Troop 161 embarked on a mission to create a space that would serve as both a meeting place and a refuge for nature within Philomath’s city limits. What started as a quest for a few acres led to the preservation of 58 acres of vital wetlands. This project, brought to life by Scouts and volunteers including the Girl Scouts and Benton County 4-H, is a testament to what dedicated community effort can achieve. Your contributions will help us sustain this lodge and land, fostering a nurturing environment for both our youth and local wildlife.

Help Us Restore Hot Water for Our Community & Youth

For over two decades, the Philomath Scout Lodge has provided a welcoming space for youth groups, nonprofits, and community organizations—often at little or no cost. Today, we are facing a critical need: our 20-year-old water heater is failing and must be replaced. Hot water is essential to safely serve the hundreds of young people and community members who rely on the lodge each month. Without it, daily operations and programs are at risk. Your donation will help us continue our mission of providing a safe, functional, and accessible gathering space for all. Every contribution makes a difference—please help us keep the doors open and the water flowing.
