GRANT MONEY … The Bryan Area Foundation awarded the Black Swamp Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America a $25,000 grant to build a new lodge/dining hall at Camp Lakota. Thanks to the Field of Interest Walter and Esther Jackson Faben Memorial Fund requesting their monies be used for Boy Scout activities or programs, the future Cooper Lodge will serve as the only four-season building for large gatherings at the 640-acre camp. Once the construction is complete, the lodge will also host volunteer and youth training, including STEM and climbing courses.
