Spring Fling at Heart Butte offers first rate family adventure including archery, crafts, fishing, games, advancement a campfire show, and much more. All camping is in tents and hot meals are served daily in the dining hall. Come celebrate 65+ years of adventure, advancement and achievement while enjoying time with friends and family.

Join us for the First Annual Spring Fling at Heart Butte Scout Reservation, with the theme "Spring Into Heart Butte"! This exciting event is packed with fun, adventure, and learning, set against the stunning backdrop of Heart Butte Scout Reservation.

The weekend kicks off on Friday night with a lively DJ and Karaoke session, where everyone can let loose, sing their favorite tunes, and dance the night away under the stars. It’s the perfect way to kick off the celebration and bond with fellow Scouts.

On Saturday, the adventure continues with Wildland Visitor Stations, where participants can learn about nature, wildlife, and outdoor skills from experts in the field. This hands-on experience provides Scouts with valuable knowledge and appreciation for the natural world around them. Additionally, there will be Cub Advancement activities for scouts of all ranks to work on earning badges and advancing in their scouting journey.
