Welcome to The Ojibwas District. The Ojibwas District serves the Lansing School District (south of Michigan Ave. only), East Lansing, Mason, Dansville, Leslie, Stockbridge, Okemos and Haslett.

The Ojibwas were the largest and most powerful of the Great Lakes tribes. The name has no standard spelling. The Ojibwas and Chippewa are not only the same tribe, but the same word pronounced a little differently due to accent. If an "O" is placed in front of Chippewa (O'chippewa), the similarity can be heard. The heartland of the Ojibwas is around Sault Ste. Marie. Since most Ojibwas live in the northern Great Lakes with a short growing season and poor soil. They were hunter-gatherers who harvested wild rice and maple sugar. They had no salt to preserve food and generally mixed their food with maple syrup as seasoning. They were skilled hunters and trappers. Fishing, especially for sturgeon, was also an important source of food.

Troops and Packs will have the opportunity to recognize and honor those hard working volunteers who make Scouting so much fun and such a success! Come, see, and meet this year’s Cub Scouter of the Year, Boy Scouter of the Year, and Scout family. Cheer as some very special people are recognized with the District award of Merit! And let’s not forget all those other great awards – recognition for length of service, training, and participation in District events. Make this year’s dinner special – recognize YOUR Pack or Troop efforts at success by nominating ALL qualified individuals, and then BE THERE to see them receive their awards!
