Towadena Hall

Until 1975 dining at RHSR consisted of gathering in a large tent located in the center of camp, and having food brought from heater stacks in the Camp Commissary (now the Quartermaster).

In 1975, on the former location of Maxwell camp site, Towadena Hall was constructed. It was named for Camp Towadena - the summer camp of the former Alexander Hamilton Council. A modern commercial kitchen provides food preparation for a large dining room capable of seating over 300 Scouts and Scouters.

Inside Towadena Hall are plaques, banners, and flags commemorating years gone by. Troops and Posts have left plaques to mark their Summer Camp attendance. Council Jamboree Troop Flags hang from the rafters. OA Section Conclave signs are displayed in various corners. Even the 1983 National Order of the Arrow Conference Sign hangs in Towadena Hall (you can see it in this picture). Scouts have been known to spend hours learning the history of their Troops, Lodges, and their Camp through these walls and rafters.

Towadena Hall also serves as a central gathering point for campers for special events or weather related alternative programs.

Towadena Hall is available for limited use outside of Summer Camp, and use of the kitchen is limited to authorized people. Contact the Council Service Center for further information.
