​The Princesses challenged their dads to a night of fun as the Mohicans sponsored a night out at Main Event.  Tribes joined together to play laser tag against other tribes.  Girls conquered their fears with rope course suspended from the ceiling.  Dads showed off their skills on the arcade games and graciously lost at air hockey.

​Big Waters’ Princesses and Guides ROCKED the Mount Prospect July of July Parade with the help of the Osage Tribe organizing a long list of attention-grabbing activities including, but not limited to, watermelon smashing, confetti blasting, and even brought out a life size campground setup with fishing and a campfire.  While crowds of people jumped at the chance show off their Double Dutch skills.  

​Mountain Nation packed the seats for a private viewing of Disney’s Little Mermaid.  This year’s movie exemplified the bond between a strong loving father and an adventurous young daughter.  

​Big Waters’ Princesses and Guides marched in the Arlington Heights Memorial Day Parade. 

​A few rain showers can’t keep The Mountain Nation from having a good time at Camp Crosley! The nation started the weekend off with a flag raising and then hit the camp for two days of activities including Giant Swing, human-sized Hungry, Hungry Hippo, an egg race, and a Blue Man Group style portrait painting of the Nation Chief.  The dad’s put their best fork forward in hopes of capturing the Golden Spatula.  Princesses amazed the dads with their versions of tribe songs with the Mohicans stealing the show for best song!

Later in the evening the Spring Fire Ceremony was with filled with laughter and even some tears as new chiefs were handed the honor of leading their tribes into the new year along with the introduction of a new Nation Chief, Chief’s Hand, Reckoner, and Eminent to guide the growing nation. 
 
Spring Campout is always bittersweet… While we say hello to some new members, we also have to say goodbye to some graduates.  We ask the wind to guide this year’s graduates as they travel down their new paths.  They may be moving on from the nation, but the bond that was built between a father and daughter through the years has created two lifetimes of memories.  Friends Always! 

​With their skates tied tight and their faces full of smiles, dads and daughters hit the ice for day on the rink and pizzas to fill the belly.  

​Dads and daughters showed off their custom wheels at the 2023 Pinewood Derby.  The girls had the opportunity to dig into the toolbox to turn a hunk of wood, four plastic wheels, and four nails into a 5-ounce custom race car.  These cars were not only fast but they were fancy!  Shot out to Kiowa’s Sophia for taking home the first-place trophy for fastest car in the nation!
