Since 1966 there have been eight full-time rangers that have lived on the reservation year round. These rangers have the herculean task to taking care of the camp property (all 2200 acres) and ensuring the infrastructure is working, that all the animals are fed (even in the dead of winter) as well as making sure all scouts have a safe and fun experience. Since 1966 the following have served as our Rangers.
1966 – 1968. Julian House
1968 – 1970. Jerry McDonald
1970 – 1978. Jasper Steele
1978 – 2000. Al Robinson
2000 – 2002. Bill Heinze
2002 – 2006. Ken Pedersen
2006 – 2012. John Tolman
2012 – 2024. Mike Hannah
