This is no misprint at least not on my part. The dining area has been called the Dinning Hall for many years and legend has it that some person wanted a sign, so they routed out the word and only after saw the misspelling. Others say that it was a common thing to mess with the name dining and say it as dinning and the name stuck. No matter, it is one of the scouts favorite places as food is served here 3 times a day and much of the staff silliness goes on during meal time.
Scouts enjoy the silliness and fun songs that staff share during the meal experience.
The current hall sits 170 scouts, scouters, and staff comfortably, but we have been known to feed over 200 during some of the more full weeks. The properties committee has been looking into the possibility of a new facility that can sit many more scouts and allow us to provide much needed office space, meeting space, a scoutmasters' lounge, and an integrated health area and trading post, but no decisions have been made. If that building ever becomes a reality, the fun and memories of this facility will surely be missed. Not only do we eat in the Dinning Hall, but we also meet for CPR, Safety Videos, and is our safe haven during inclimate weather.
