Dane G. Hansen Foundation Boy Scout Reservation

Dane G. Hansen was widely known in the county and abroad for his philanthropy and entrepreneurial spirit.  As such, one of his accomplished tasks was establishing the Dane G. Hansen Foundation Boy Scout Reservation.  This camp is widely used by boy scout troops across the state of Kansas.  It hosts excellent camping facilities, a COPE course, archery and riflery ranges, and a large dining hall.  Girl scouts also use the facilities in the summertime.  During the off-season, the pool is sponsored by the Lions Club and is open to the public for swimming.  The dining hall and camping facilities are also available to rent, and are a fabulous lake-side location for family gatherings and reunions.
