Darlene Schluter hasn't added a story.

I always like a challenge and this is better than jumping out of a plane - repelling 5 stories down the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.  I'm raising money to support the Boy Scouts of America. Scouting programs provide youth with a strong foundation, teaching them to be strong leaders, better citizens, and to make ethical choices. The importance of them knowing they can do their personal best to achieve their full potential, while honoring life-long values and strong character foundation is paramount. Proceeds also help ensure a Scout has a uniform and can attend camp.   

Please help me raise money for this worthy cause.

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO GO OVER THE EDGE? The first 80 registered participants to raise $500 for Scouting will get the opportunity to rappel off the top of Wells Fargo Arena!

Please join the Mid-Iowa Council, BSA on July 12, 2024, when participants will be given the opportunity to rappel down Wells Fargo Arena's six-story building in downtown Des Moines overlooking the Des Moines River.
