Falley Scout Reservation (FSR) is the official campsite for youth and adults in the Scout program in the 11-county Northeast Kansas region. With more than 340 acres of property that includes modern latrines, dining hall facilities, program shelters and room to stretch, FSR provides robust outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing, camping, archery and shooting sports. Falley Scout Reservation welcomes over 1,500 visitors each year and is an excellent Scout camping facility that offers a variety of program opportunities available for all ages, both young and old. Due to extreme weather conditions of heat and cold, numerous outdoor projects are needed to provide a welcoming feel as our guests arrive on the property. Priority is staining the exterior of the Welcome Center - the building visitors see when they arrive, gardening, trail clean up, etc. Certain areas on the property are in need of fence post repair as well.
