Our Story
Scavenger's Journey began as a small community event with a simple idea: give families a fun reason to explore the towns and businesses of central South Dakota. Scavenger's Journey leads you through several communities in Central South Dakota on Interstate 90, with a loop branching off on SD Hwy 45 and US Hwy 281.
You'll find a treasure trove of goods and hospitality by visiting the vendors & businesses in our participating towns. This one-of-a-kind South Dakota event is brought to you by numerous volunteers & supporters in the towns who make it possible.
Now in its 15th year, Scavenger's Journey continues to bring together hundreds of participants, dozens of local businesses, and volunteers who make it all possible.
