413 - Scooter's Hunting Camp with Scott McGann

Author: Pete Rogers February 16, 2026 Duration: 1:04:37

Today's guest is the founder of Scooter's Hunt Camp 

Scott was raised in the small town of Emmett, Id. Scott loves all sports and spent 6 years chasing dreams by playing college baseball.  After that didn't pan out baseball he came back to Emmett working several different jobs trying to find my place.  In 2006 the opportunity was presented to buy an Insurance Agency here in town.  He now owns this agency, and this was a GOD thing as the freedom of being his own boss has given him much time with his sons.  In 2007 Scott was introduced to Kami, a year later they were married.  In 2010 & 2013 they welcomed 2 amazing sons into their tribe.  I joke tribe as we are all registered in the Cherokee Nation.  In 2021 Scott lost Kami to Breast Cancer.  She was an angel here on earth, but God needed her with him.

 In 2000 Scott was given the vision to give back to kids through hunting.  He was given a gift as a successful hunter.  In fact, in 2001 he was named the Idaho State Bowhunters bowhunter of the year.

Scott founded and now directs the Scooter's Youth Hunting Camp in Emmett. Over the 26 years of being a part of this ministry and mission field for kids.  Scott is most proud of witnessing about his Savior and best friend "JESUS".  Over 26 years Scott has had the honor of sharing God's goodness and putting a Shotgun, Bow, Muzzleloader and .22 rifle into the hands of over 6,000 kids.  All for FREE and all through donations.  It has been a labor of love for Scott.  He works for the kids 24/7/365 as a volunteer.  SYHC is 100% volunteer with no paid staff.  The volunteers who show up for the camp are amazing and all get an Orange SYHC shirt.  The volunteer crew has been coined the "ORANGE ARMY" with the past couple of years being 120+ strong.  There is a joke around the area that Scooter has 4,000 nieces and nephews because of the interactions from this camp.  In 2015 Scott added to the SYHC by creating "Hunting Dreams".  This subchapter of the camp does 2 hunting trips a year for children who have suffered a life-threatening illness.  One Bear hunt each spring and an Elk hunt each fall with everything donated to fully outfit the hunters.  New Rifle, Binos, Scope, Rangefinder, Boots, clothes etc. etc. Then a whole week in God's country hunting and eating "Their" favorite menu.  The crew processes the meat and a taxidermist does a bear rug and elk shoulder mount for a forever memory.  Scott loves GOD, loves kids and loves being a servant.

For twenty-five years, Pete Rogers has been writing and speaking about the wilderness, but he found the conversations happening around campfires and in duck blinds often went deeper than just tactics or gear. Those moments sparked Christian Outdoors Podcast, which he launched in 2019 after considerable reflection. This isn't a sermon from a mountaintop, but a series of genuine conversations rooted in a simple, guiding mission: to explore all things outdoors and discover how to find joy in a spiritual connection every single day. You’ll hear from hunters, anglers, hikers, and conservationists who share their own stories from the field, blending practical outdoor wisdom with personal reflections on faith and creation. Pete draws on his long background as an outdoor writer and author to steer these discussions, creating a space where the thrill of a turkey hunt and the quiet of a sunrise sit comfortably alongside matters of spirit. It’s a unique blend, born from a nonprofit based in Taylors, South Carolina, that feels less like a produced show and more like an invitation to join a like-minded community. Each episode of this podcast is built on the idea that the natural world and a life of faith aren't separate journeys, but are beautifully and inextricably woven together.
