Just after the last snowfall following the Klondike Derby, enormous
footprints were discovered in the open flatlands on the east side of
Camp Drake. There colossal tracks were centered on the area of the
Prarie where the Immense Foosball Court was created in 2010. It appears
that some mammoth creatures have been using the large-scale table soccer
field for their own game of foosball. Scouts of Prarielands Council are
asked to be aware of this larger-than-life phenomenon and start
practicing for their change to play against these REALLY big guys. Look
to enjoy another summer of the BIG GAMES at Camp Robert Drake!

The Illini Lodge 55 Service Corps has created an award to honor those
scouts and leaders who provide service to, and promote Camp Drake. For
more information please see here.

The time for Spring Fellowship 2011 is upon us here in the Brotherhood
