Read MoreWelcome to the Illowa Council!
We are proud to serve more than 1,800 youth who participate in Scouting in Bureau, Henry, Knox, McDonough, Mercer, Rock Island, Stark, and Warren counties in Illinois and Cedar, Clinton, Jackson, Muscatine, and Scott counties in Iowa. These 13 counties make up the Illowa Council!
Scouting has been shaping the youth of America for more than 100 years. Scouting does AMAZING things for youth. Scouts try new things, serve others, boost self-confidence, make ethical choices, and explore the outdoors. Besides being super-fun, Scouts say it helps them be more honest, teaches them to better work with others, guides them into becoming better team players and leaders, and provides life-long skills. Prepared. For Life.

Events happen at Camp Loud Thunder because we have some of the best volunteers in the Scouting program! 🎯⚜️
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who gives their time, talent, and energy to make the Illowa Council Range & Target Activities program possible.
From maintaining the ranges and equipment to teaching safety, developing skills, and creating memorable experiences for our Scouts, there is a tremendous amount of work that happens behind the scenes.
These programs don't happen by accident—they happen because dedicated volunteers continue to show up and make them happen.
Thank you for everything you do for Camp Loud Thunder, Illowa Council, and our Scouts! 🎯🏕️⚜️

🎯 WE HAVE OUR 2026 “I SHOT FOR THE HENRY” WINNERS! 🎯
The scores are in! After a summer of great shooting at Camp Loud Thunder, congratulations to our 2026 champions:
🏆 Youth Winner: Carter Kiefer, Troop 46 — Score: 84
🏆 Adult Winner: Jason Gregory, Troop 127 — Score: 91
Throughout summer camp, Scouts and leaders put their marksmanship skills to the test in our annual “I Shot for the Henry” competition. Participants purchased tokens at the Trading Post, headed to the Upper Camp Rifle Range during Open Shoot, and took their best shot at climbing the leaderboard. At the end of the summer, the highest-scoring youth and adult each earned the ultimate prize — a brand-new Henry rifle!
👏 A huge THANK YOU to Suburban Construction Inc for generously donating the Henry rifles awarded to our winners and helping make this unique Camp Loud Thunder tradition possible!
And start practicing now… because “I Shot for the Henry” will be BACK for Summer Camp 2027! 🎯
Will we see your name at the top of the leaderboard next year?
Congratulations, Carter and Jason!
