Mount Rushmore Pilgrimage...

The Rushmore Pilgrimage has been a tradition since 1938. At the first hike, there were only the images of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln on the mountain.  The final carving, Teddy Roosevelt, was still under construction. In past years we have had up to 1,000 Scouts from South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Wisconsin and Iowa travel to the Black Hills to participate in this historic event! 

In 2011, 389 Scouts and Scouters hiked the faces! Congratulations to our Winners:
