Many Scout maste rs have found that when the entir e Troop will not be in Camp, the r e -orga nizat i on of Patro ls and the elect ion of new or tempo rary Patro l Leade rs shoul d be condu cted well in advan ce of comin g to Camp . This will give the new Patro l a chanc e to devel op Patro l spiri t and give the new leade rs some "on the job traini ng". Howev er, your main ob jectiv e shoul d be to see that every Scout gets t o camp. Isn't that why he really joined your Troop in the first place ? A Troop well organ ized in this matte r will not only have a stimu lating camp exper ience , but also have well- traine d junio r leade rs for the next fall's progra m. Each Troop must be under the direc tion of a compe t ent male adult leade r ( at least 21 years of age) who is in r es id ence at all times with the Troop . This indiv idual , norma lly the Scout maste r, is in charg e of the entire camp life of the Troop . ASSISTANT SCOUTMASTERS shoul d be in charg e of a phase of camp life assign ed by the Scout maste r. It is sugge sted that they be place d in direc t charg e of the progra m or comm issary opera tions . JUNIOR ASSISTANT SCOUTMASTERS are usual ly given speci fic respo nsibi lities invo l ving defin ite skill s, such as inst ructo rs in camp craft, natur e, or certa i n activ ities such as camp fires and games . SENIOR PATROL LEADER, as the boy leade r of the Troop , shoul d condu ct the Troop leade rs counc il and be r espon sib l e for the progra m sched uling , inspe ction s, roll calls , and the coord inatio n of t he indiv idual Patro ls. PATROL LEADERS shoul d act in their usual capac ity as the boy leade rs of the Patro ls in all their Patro l activ ities. They repre sent the ir Patro l in the Troop Leade rs Counc il . At lea s t once a day, usual ly durin g rest perio d, the Troop Leade rs Counc il shoul d meet to discu ss the day's sched ule of duty and progra m. Each Patro l will then be respo nsible for its share of the overa ll activ ity and progra m. This group is respo nsible for the daily inspe ction s, all Troop activ ities, the plann ing for and scorin g of the "Camp Natio nal Stand ard Troop " ratin g.

The Hos t is responsible f or intr oduct i ons, for general guidance to the tone and level of conversations, and i nst r ucts the waiter when to secure "refills", and when to go fo r the ne xt course . He makes sure everyone gets equal portions of food t he first time around, and that the guests are served first. THE ASSISTANT HOST aids the host; serves the vegetables or salads, and observes the routine so that he may successfully succeed the host. WAITERS report 30 minut e s in advance of mealtime and properly set up the tables. Waiters are the only persons who may go back to the serving window for seconds and are the only person except the Dining Hall Steward who moves around in the Dining Hall during meals. They return all dirty dishes, food, etc, at the close of the meal, clean the tables with hot soapy water, and clean up in the general area of their table. The GUESTS can do much to make the meal more orderly and enjoyable. GRACES APROVED BY PROTESTANT, CATHOLIC, JEWISH, AND MORMON SCOUTING I I' I I I I I I -- CO~I TTEES MORNING GRACE : 1.

This simply means nothing is locked in concrete, our program is flexible to meet the needs of our campers. The key camp staff members that will serve as Area Directors this sunnner are busy finalizing their programs for the 1984 season.

This program will be very valuable in the training of Troop leaders. Any Scout in your troop currently filling a leadership position is eligible to participate. A Scout who you feel is destined for a leadership position in the near future may also attend upon the recommendation of his Scoutmaster. Since the training will take place in a Camp setting, it is important that the Scout has completed the hiking, camping , and cooking skill awards. Eagles Nest will stress two areas of benefit to your Troop. The first is scoutcraft skill with emphasis on learning new skills and how they can be passed onto other members of the Troop and Patrol. The second is leadership skills that will make the troop leader more effective in his responsiblity . Eagles Nest is scheduled for the third week of Camp (July 1-7, 1984) at the Kia Kima Scout Reservation. The conference will be under the direction of Bob Yahola. The cost is $85.00 per Scout. Make plans now to have your Troop represented! ADULT SCOUT LEADERS DEVELOPMENT Adult Scout Leader Training is simply collecting what we already know about boys and organizing this information towards the aims and methods of the Boy Scout Program . Leaders who know the ways and hows of the program will be more effective in their roles, and as a result Scouts will be able to achieve the aims of the program. Training in character, citizenship and personal fitness - while having fun. This year at Kia Kima Scout Reservation we offer Leader Training each day. The sessions are scheduled - 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Instructors will be qualified Scouters attending Camp with you. PROVISIONAL CAMPING A provisional Troop headed by a camp staff member of the Kia Kima Scout Reservation is available for those scouts that wish to return to camp for an additional one, two, three or four weeks. Also if for some reason your troop is not coming to camp He can still attend. This troop functions like a home troop, except that it is made of scouts from throughout our council. Provisional camping provides an additional opportunity to complete merit badges along with other special advancements and achievements available at camp. The provisional camping fee is $70.00 -20- �LAYING OUT THE PROGRAM Now, wha t abou t your SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM? Will it be purpo seful , excit ing, and full of fun? Will it meet our gene ral campi ng objec tives ? Will it be so condu cted as to stren gthen your year- round orga nizat ion, to stren gthen Patro ls as work ing units ? The answe r to all t hese quest ions will be YES if you and your Patro l Leade rs begin now t o plan your pr ogram to meet these objec tives . The follw ing is desig ned to help you pre pare a top-f light progr am. REMEMBER ---Th e succe ss of your camp progr am wi ll be measu red by the exten t to which your Unit has learn ed the follow ing thing s: To stand on its own feet, To use its own boy leade rs, To train its own instr ucto rs, To acqu ire new inter ests. These may se r ve to stimu late the build ing of your Unit 's progr am throu ghou t t he year. A good progr am for the camp fol l ows along the idea of a morni ng activ ity as a learn ing sessi on, an after noon activ ity as a doing sessi on, and the eveni ng activ ity as a fun sessi on. MR. CAMP SCOUTMASTERS: Here are some DO'S and DONT'S on Unit Progr ammi ng: DO 1. Set a tone that will give your Troop camp real class . Insis t on good manne rs, good f e llows hip, clean sport sman ship, clean fun, and a clean camp. 2. Allow Patro ls to plan and car ry out some thing s they thoug ht of and want to do. 3. Have enoug h progr am to keep every one busy - BUT •• .•. . ..• . 4. Allow for and sugge st some time when a fella can "go and do something with a pal or two". 5. Keep the OUTing in ScOUTing --- go on an overn ight OUT of Camp. 6. Be sure there 's perso nal achie veme nt, advan ceme nt poss ibili ties, a nd fun in the progr am . 7. Keep in perso nal touch with what 's happe ning in the Unit - - - get verba l Patro l Repo rts each day . 8. Make the metho d succe ed by EXPECTING and HELPI NG it to work . -21 - �I I I I I I I DON' T 1. Allow too many activities to be scheduled. r e l axing. Camping should be 2. Be alarmed if things happen that are not in the schedule some circumstances warrant changes in plans. 3. Engage in activities that can be done better in town, like baseball, and football. 4. Overlook the four big items in program - - WOODCRAFT, CAMPCRAFT, AQUATICS, AND PHYSICAL FITNESS. 5. Judge the success of the camp by the number of Merit Badges earned. (But there should be some.) 6. Give boys a title and a camp leadership job and then do all the leading yourself. 7. Permit a camp violation, an error in operation to presist or continue. "Stop the Show" - -- correct it immediately. A Scout Camp is a TRAINING CAMP. Be kind but firm when necessary. The follwing pages will give you the details about program planning and activities at Camp. Laying out the Sunnner Camp Program should be a major topic of interest at Troop Leaders Council Meetings for several weeks before your Unit actually goes to camp. It is a responsibility that cannot be done in haste or at the last minute. So use your guide sheets in this booklet as an aid. Remember, Camp is conducted on a TROOP, PATROL, AND INDIVIDUAL BASIS, and a program cannot be decided upon independently. To be sure, it may be necessary to occasionally shift certain program items that you have listed on your schedule, in order to accomodate everyone, but this will be done when no other alternative is possible. Let's dramatize how your Unit might go about arranging its summer program. Here we go! Let's imagine we're talking this over with the boy leaders of your Unit. I I FIRST, how about the fixed items? Some fixed items like retreat, meals, campwide campfires, and taps are a lready listed on your program. l NEXT, what does our Unit need? What skill practice and advancement experience is needed? Let ' s STOP A MINUTE and take a good look at the Tenderfoot, Second, and First Class requirements. What does a Scout have to DO to advance to these ranks? l I l l The next logical questionis "Why can't my boys become First or Second Class Scouts at Camp? The answer is, " If you PLAN for it, they can." At Camp the opportunities for Scoutcraft advancement is much greater than in the home community, so don ' t miss the once - a- year opportunity to move your Scouts ahead one rank. -22- �REMEMBER, a boy becomes a Scou t in the fullest sense of the word, only when he has become a Scou t Hiker and a Scout Camper. Let's review the four steps of advanceme nt to see how they fit with your Camp plans. 1. PREPARATION: By preparati on in the Scouting program, be sure that your camp program, planned in advance, includes the opportuni ty for every Scout to participa te in all the skills required as a part of a natural hiking and camping experienc e. 2. QUALIFICATION: How does he qualify? "By passing a test" is the obvious answer. But, the obvious answer is wrong. He qualifies by using the skills required. He sharpens an axe in order to cut wood to build a fire to cook a meal because he's hungry. When he has done this, there is little need for the axe sharpenin g test or the fire - building test, because he has passed them. A TROOP DAY OR OVERNIGHT HIKE WHILE AT CAMP CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS AIM . 3. 4. REVIEW: RECOGNITION: By a Progress Review. Plan to have your entire Troop Committee come to camp on Friday for this . Boys who qualify in camp but not given the opportuni ty for review and recognitio n until Fall, often lose interest By a Court of Honor. The Scout should have this recognitio n as soon as possible, perhaps at a Troop Campfire immediate ly after the Campwide Campfire on Friday night. All Badges and awards available at the Administr ation Office. Skill awards should be presented daily . Now, that we have reviewed the four steps 1n advancem ent, let's plan for it. Let's take an INVENTORY of our needs by using the FORMS ATTACHED. Having made such a list as this, you may be wondering about what items the Camp provides. Camp program areas may be divided into three (3) groups: Aquatics, Field Spor t s, and Scoutcraf t . (Physical Training is built into all of Scouting' s Activitie s.) In the aquatics and field sports areas qualified adults from the Camp Staff must be on hand; however, they may call upon your Unit's Junior Leaders to assist them. The Scoutcraf t areas include Nature, Conservat ion , Campcraf t, Pathfindi ng, Rope Yard, Woodtools , and the Tracking and Trailing area. Some of these areas should be duplicate d in each Tr oop Campsite . It is expected that the Troops will use their own leadershi p in these areas with the assistanc e of your Camp Commissio ner in either the Camp or Troop areas. There are several reasons for this: 1. Your Unit's Patrol and Junior Leaders know the specific needs of your boys and can direct their instructio n to meet those needs. -23- I •I I I I I I I I •I ...... �•I I - 2. By using your own instructors in giving demonstrations, you are helping t o st r engthen the operation of the Pat r ol Method. 3. This i s one of the finest oppoortunities to meet one of our camping goals - TO TRAIN BOYS FOR LEADERSHIP. Scoutmasters should certainly be continually training t heir boy leaders throughout the year. Then, too, the Camp Commissioner wi l l work with your boy leaders. MERIT BADGE OPPORTUNITIES: Listed below are a number of Merit Badges wh i ch can be earned in whole or in part at summer camp. It should be borne in mind that since a Merit Badge is recognition of outstanding ability and achievement in a ce r tain field, MERE ATTENDANCE AT INSTRUCTION SESSIONS DOES NOT ENTITLE A BOY TO A MERIT BADGE . In many cases, however, t he boy who does not c omplete all the requirements satisfactorily will be given a cer tification of "Partial Completion." Some boys may wish to stay a second week just to complete Merit Badges. A provisional Troop will be available just for t his purpose . STEPS IN EARNING A MERIT BADGE: 1. The Scout picks the subject s in which he is interested, secures the Merit Badge pamphlets, and studies the requirements well before going to camp. USE YOUR INFLUENCE TO PREVENT HIS NOT OVEREXTENDING HIMSELF. A boy should NOT TRY to ge t too many Merit . Badges at camp; it is better to earn one or two and do the requirements WELL . 2. Before approaching a Merit Badge Counselor, a boy should know what the requirements are for that particular Merit Badge, and what will be expected of him. 3. There are many r equirements which CAN and MUST be completed before go1ng to Camp. (See notes on following pages*) 4. You, the Scoutmaster, can give your boys a hand by POI NTING OUT which Merit Badges are available, and HELPING THEM plan t o tr y for a few. 5. The Scoutmaster should be prepare d t o ha nd in a schedule of the Scouts wishing to take Merit Badge / Skill Award work b y name, subject, Troop numbe r by the May 2nd meeting. - 24- �SKILLS AWARDS 1.

This area offers the most Merit Badges of any program area in camp . Astronomy, Environmental Science, Fish and Wildlife Management, Forestry, Mammals, Nature, Reptile Study, Soil & Water Conservation and Fishing. Each week the Ecology/Conservation staff offers special programs for Scouts to participate as individuals, Patrols or Troops. Turtle Races, Critter Crawls, and Star Study are just a few. Camp conservation projects are also available upon request. HANDICRAFT The Handicraft Area is headquartered in Handicraft Tent. Scouts can receive instruction Basketry, Woodcarving and Leatherwork as well as Indian Lore. CAMP WIDE EVENTS Each year a campwide event is conducted to challenge the teamwork, resourcefulness and Scout Spirit of Patrols. This year is no exception. Since the Patrol method is the name of the game, we are currently planning an event that will significantly strengthen your Scout Patrols. This should serve to be a real asset to your overall Troop program. TROOP ACTIVITIES Every Troop is encouraged to take an overnighter and cook two (2) meals during the week. Your assigned campsite is only a "base" - the starting point to fun and adventure. The Central Camp is only a place for instruction. Real Scout Camp happens in the other 865 acres known as Camp and its surrounding land . Don't short-change your Scouts - plan now to see it all. This experience will enable a Scout to complete part of his Camping Skill Award requirements and many of the Merit Badge Requirements. This Camp experience may be done in the following ·ways: OVERNIGHT CANOE TRIP - This is a troop activity with Leaders participating. OVERNIGHT HIKING TRIP - This is a troop activity with Leaders participating FREE SWIM - LAKE FREE SWIM - RIVER CANOE TO FREE SWIM SCHEDULE YOUR TROOPS OVERNIGHT AND FREE SWIM AT THE ADMINISTRATION OFFICE ON SUNDAY. -29- �• •I THE HIGH ADVENTURE PROGRAM I I I I I I I 'I ' ' ' I The Chickasaw Council again offers a High Adventure Activity for the more experienced Scout Camper.

The Order as you can see from the statemen t of purpose is not a program or a thing apart from Scout ing. It is a device used in the camping program of 1he Boy Scouts of America. It has its roots in the troop and post that goes camping. It gather' tho'e designate d by troops o r posts as members of the Orde r into a local council group known as a lodge. ~~ :;::..; The O rder of the Arrow is a thing of the individual rather than of the mass. It is natural that the program and selling of Scout camping should lead to the formati on of camper' honor societies. In the earl y years of Scouting in America many s uch organizat ions were formed . The success of the O rder of the Arrow in its early expansion years was due in large measure to the democrat ic basis for the selection of cand idates; the recognitio n of the Scout unit ; the camping requirem ent; a practical plan for service to Scouting in which t he promotion and improvemen t of camping. beginning in a boy's own unit. were the central idea ; colorful ceremoni es; a well-defin ed plan of organization; li1era1urc- covering ceremonies and adminis1ra1ion- 1ha1 could 0.: ca~oly adapted w local c0uncib. 1hc practical and colorful in1erprcta1ion of the Seoul Oath and Law ; the Good Turn and t he ' Pi ritual ' qualitic~ of Scouting The Order of the Arrow is a thing of the out-of-do ors rather than the indoors.

Too many times , the first camping experience is his last because of the way he is treated by Leaders and fellow Scouts while at Camp .

Many Scoutmasters have found that whe n the entire Troop will not be in Camp, the r e -organization of Patrols and the election of new or temporary Patrol Leaders should be conducted well in advance of coming to Camp . This will give the new Patrol a chance to develop Patrol spirit and give the new leaders some "on the job training". However, your main ob jective should be to see that every Scout gets t o camp. Isn't that why he really joined your Troop in the first place? A Troop well organized in this matter will not only have a stimulating camp experience, but also have well-trained junior leaders for the next fall's program. Each Troop must be under the direction of a compe t ent male adult leader ( at least 21 years of age) who is in r esidence at all times with the Troop. This individual, normally the Scoutmaster, is in charge of the entire camp life of the Troop. ASSISTANT SCOUTMASTERS should be in charge of a phase of camp life assigned by the Scoutmaster. It is suggested that they be placed in direct charge of the program or commissary operations. JUNIOR ASSISTANT SCOUTMASTERS are usually given specific responsibilities invo l ving definite skills, such as inst ructors in campcraft, nature, or certain activities such as campfires and games . SENIOR PATROL LEADER, as the boy leader of the Troop , should conduct the Troop leaders council and be r esponsib l e for the program scheduling, inspections, roll calls, and the coordination of t he individual Patrols. PATROL LEADERS should act in their usual capacity as the boy leaders of the Patrols in all their Patrol activities. They represent the ir Patrol in the Troop Leaders Council . At leas t once a day, usually during rest period, the Troop Leaders Council should meet to discuss the day's schedule of duty and program. Each Patrol will then be responsible for its share of the overall activity and program. This group is responsible for the daily inspections, all Troop activities, the planning for and scoring of the "Camp National Standard Troop" rating. A SCOUTMASTER ACHIEVES ONE OF THE GOALS OF SCOUTING - LEADERSH IP DEVELOPMENT - BY DELEGATING RESPONSIBILITY TO BOYS AND TEACHING THEM TO MEET IT. - 14- F/IMILl STYLE /:l__65T Sy~t~M OF Fk~ tH·I'#, During tour of Camp, Osage Units will visit the Dining Hall and be given table assignments. All members of the same Unit will be seated in the same area. You will occupy these SAME TABLES throughout the week. Unit Leaders and Staff Members will act as table advisors and occupy positions marked as "guests". They wi 11 see to it that the "Host System" as explained is carried out, and also guide the conversation and conduct at their tables. Each table is to designate a waiter for each day in advance. (Please post on Campsite Bulletin Board.) -15- • I ' I I I I I I I -- The seating a r ran gement should rotate one place each day (except the guest positions who will occupy the same seat all week) as shown in the diagram • " HOST SYSTEM " - A pr ime camp objective is to t r a i n the Scout in those good mann ers and cou rt esies essential to one who trie s to live up t o the princ i pl es of t he Scout Oath and Law . The Hos t is responsible f or intr odu ct i ons, for general guidance to the tone and level of conversations, and i n st r ucts the waiter when to secure "refills", and when to go fo r the ne x t co urse . He makes sure everyone gets equal portions of food t he first time around, and that the guests are served first. THE ASSISTANT HOST aids the host; serves the vegetables or salads, and observes the routine so that he may successfully succeed the host. WAITERS report 30 minut e s in advance of mealtime and properly set up the tables. Waiters are the only persons who may go back to the serving window for seconds and are the only person except the Dining Hall Steward who moves around in the Dining Hall during meals. They return all dirty dishes, food, etc, at the close of the meal, clean the tables with hot soapy water, and clean up in the general area of their table. The GUESTS can do much to make the meal more orderly and enjoyable. GRACES APROVED BY PROTESTANT, CATHOLIC, JEWISH, AND MORMON CO~ITTEES ON SCOUTING MORNING GRACE : 1.

A Scout who you feel is destined for a leadership position in the near future may also attend upon the recommendation of his Scoutmaster. Since the training will take place in a Camp setting, it is important that the Scout has completed the hiking, camping , and cooking skill awards. Eagles Nest will stress two areas of benefit to your Troop. The first is scoutcraft skill with emphasis on learning new skills and how they can be passed onto other members of the Troop and Patrol. The second is leadership skills that will make the troop leader more effective in his responsiblity . Eagles Nest is scheduled for the third week Kia Kima Scout Reservation. The conference Bob Yahola. The cost is $85.00 per Scout. Troop represented! of Camp (July 1-7, 1984) at the will be under the direction of Make plans now to have your ADULT SCOUT LEADERS DEVELOPMENT Adult Scout Leader Training is simply collecting what we already know about boys and organizing this information towards the aims and methods of the Boy Scout Program . Leaders who know the ways and hows of the program will be more effective in their roles, and as a result Scouts will be able to achieve the aims of the program. Training in character, citizenship and personal fitness - while having fun. This year at Kia Kima Scout Reservation we offer Leader Training each day. The sessions are scheduled - 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Instructors will be qualified Scouters attending Camp with you. PROVISIONAL CAMPING A provisional Troop headed by a camp staff member of the Kia Kima Scout Reservation is available for those scouts that wish to return to camp for an additional one, two, three or four weeks. Also if for some reason your troop is not coming to camp He can still attend. This troop functions like a home troop, except that it is made of scouts from throughout our council. Provisional camping provides an additional opportunity to complete merit badges along with other special advancements and achievements available at camp. The provisional camping fee is $70.00 -20- LAYING OUT THE PROGRAM Now, wha t about your SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM? Will it be purposeful, exciting, and full of fun? Will it meet our general camping objectives? Will it be so conducted as to strengthen your year-round organization, to strengthen Patrols as working units? The answer to all t hese questions will be YES if you and your Patrol Leaders begin now t o plan your pr ogram to meet these objectives . The follwing is designed to help you pre pare a top-flight program. REMEMBER ---The success of your camp program wi ll be measured by the extent to which your Unit has learned the following things: To stand on its own feet, To use its own boy leaders, To train its own instructors, To acquire new interests. These may ser ve to stimulate the building of your Unit's program throughout t he year. A good program for the camp fol l ows along the idea of a morning activity as a learning session, an afternoon activity as a doing session, and the evening activity as a fun session. MR. CAMP SCOUTMASTERS: Here are some DO'S and DONT'S on Unit Programming: DO 1. Set a tone that will give your Troop camp real class. Insist on good ma nners, good f e llowship, clean sportsmanship, clean fun, and a clean camp. 2. Allow Patrols to plan and ca r ry out some things they thought of and want to do. 3. Have enough program to keep everyone busy - BUT •• .•. . ..• . 4. Allow for and suggest some time when a fella can "go and do something with a pal or two". 5. Keep the OUTing in ScOUTing --- go on an overnight OUT of Camp. 6. Be sure there's personal achievement, advancement possibilities, a n d fun in the program . 7 . Keep in personal touch with what's happening in the Unit - - - get verbal Patrol Reports each day . 8. Make the method succeed by EXPECTING and HELPING it to work. -21 - I I I I I I I I l l I l l DON' T 1. Allow too many activities to be scheduled. Camping should be r e l axing. 2. Be alarmed if things happen that are not in the schedule - some circumstances warrant changes in plans. 3. Engage in activities that can be done better in town, like baseball, and football. 4. Overlook the four big items in program - - WOODCRAFT, CAMPCRAFT, AQUATICS, AND PHYSICAL FITNESS. 5. Judge the success of the camp by the number of Merit Badges earned. (But there should be some.) 6. Give boys a title and a camp leadership job and then do all the leading yourself. 7. Permit a camp violation, an error in operation to presist or continue. "Stop the Show" - -- correct it immediately. A Scout Camp is a TRAINING CAMP. Be kind but firm when necessary. The follwing pages will give you the details about program planning and activities at Camp. Laying out the Sunnner Camp Program should be a major topic of interest at Troop Leaders Council Meetings for several weeks before your Unit actually goes to camp. It is a responsibility that cannot be done in haste or at the last minute. So use your guide sheets in this booklet as an aid. Remember, Camp is conducted on a TROOP, PATROL, AND INDIVIDUAL BASIS, and a program cannot be decided upon independently. To be sure, it may be necessary to occasionally shift certain program items that you have listed on your schedule, in order to accomodate everyone, but this will be done when no other alternative is possible. Let's dramatize how your Unit might go about arranging its summer program. Here we go! Let's imagine we're talking this over with the boy leaders of your Unit. FIRST, how about the fixed items? Some fixed items like retreat, meals, campwide campfires, and taps are a lready listed on your program. NEXT, what does our Unit need? What skill practice and advancement experience is needed? Let ' s STOP A MINUTE and take a good look at the Tenderfoot, Second, and First Class requirements. What does a Scout have to DO to advance to these ranks? The next logical questionis "Why can't my boys become First or Second Class Scouts at Camp? The answer is, " If you PLAN for it, they can." At Camp the opportunities for Scoutcraft advancement is much greater than in the home community, so don ' t miss the once - a- year opportunity to move your Scouts ahead one rank. -22- REMEMBER, a boy becomes a Scou t in the fullest sense of the word, only when he has become a Scou t Hiker and a Scout Camper. Let's review the four steps of advancement to see how they fit with your Camp plans. 1. PREPARATION: 2. QUALIFICATION: 3. REVIEW: 4 . RECOGNITION: By preparation in the Scouting program, be sure that your camp program, planned in advance, includes the opportunity for every Scout to participate in all the skills required as a part of a natural hiking and camping experience. How does he qualify? "By passing a test" is the obvious answer. But, the obvious answer is wrong. He qualifies by using the skills required. He sharpens an axe in order to cut wood to build a fire to cook a meal because he's hungry. When he has done this, there is little need for the axe sharpening test or the fire - building test, because he has passed them. A TROOP DAY OR OVERNIGHT HIKE WHILE AT CAMP CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS AIM . By a Progress Review. Plan to have your entire Troop Committee come to camp on Friday for this . Boys who qualify in camp but not given the opportunity for review and recognition until Fall, often lose interest By a Court of Honor. The Scout should have this recognition as soon as possible, perhaps at a Troop Campfire immediately after the Campwide Campfire on Friday night. All Badges and awards available at the Administration Office. Skill awards should be presented daily . Now, that we have reviewed the four steps 1n advancement, let's plan for it. Let's take an INVENTORY of our needs by using the FORMS ATTACHED. Having made such a list as this, you may be wondering about what items the Camp provides. Camp program areas may be divided into three (3) groups: Aquatics, Field Spor t s, and Scoutcraft . (Physical Training is built into all of Scouting's Activities.) In the aquatics and field sports areas qualified adults from the Camp Staff must be on hand; however, they may call upon your Unit's Junior Leaders to assist them. The Scoutcraft areas include Nature, Conservation , Campcraft, Pathfinding, Rope Yard, Woodtools, and the Tracking and Trailing area. Some of these areas should be duplicated in each Tr oop Campsite . It is expected that the Troops will use their own leadership in these areas with the assistance of your Camp Commissioner in either the Camp or Troop areas. There are several reasons for this: 1. Your Unit's Patrol and Junior Leaders know the specific needs of your boys and can direct their instruction to meet those needs. -23- I • I I I I I I I I • I ...... • I I - 2. By using your own instructors in giving demonstrations, you are helping to st r engthen the operation of the Patr ol Method. 3. This i s one of the finest oppoortunities to meet one of our camping goals - TO TRAIN BOYS FOR LEADERSHIP. Scoutmasters should certainly be continually training t heir boy leaders throughout the year. Then, too, the Camp Commissioner wi l l work with your boy leaders. MERIT BADGE OPPORTUNITIES: Listed below are a number of Merit Badges whi ch can be earned in whole or in part at summer camp. It should be borne in mind that since a Merit Badge is recognition of outstanding ability and achievement in a cer tain field, MERE ATTENDANCE AT INSTRUCTION SESSIONS DOES NOT ENTITLE A BOY TO A MERIT BADGE . In many cases, however, the boy who does not c omplete all the requirements satisfactorily will be given a cer tification of "Partial Completion." Some boys may wish to stay a second week just to complete Merit Badges. A provisional Troop will be available just for t his purpose . STEPS IN EARNING A MERIT BADGE: 1. The Scout picks the subjects in which he is interested, secures the Merit Badge pamphlets, and studies the requirements well before going to camp. USE YOUR INFLUENCE TO PREVENT HIS NOT OVEREXTENDING HIMSELF. A boy should NOT TRY to get too many Merit . Badges at camp; it is better to earn one or two and do the requirements WELL . 2. Before approaching a Merit Badge Counselor, a boy should know what the requirements are for that particular Merit Badge, and what will be expected of him. 3. There are many r equirements which CAN and MUST be completed before go1ng to Camp. (See notes on following pages*) 4. You, the Scoutmaster, can give your boys a hand by POI NTING OUT which Merit Badges are available, and HELPING THEM plan t o try for a few. 5 . The Scoutmaster should be prepare d to hand in a schedule of the Scouts wishing to take Merit Badge / Skill Award work by name, subject, Troop number by the May 2nd meeting. - 24- SKILLS AWARDS 1.

An experienced staff awa i ts to provide basic instructions as well as advanced Merit Badge instruction. All of the BSA aquatic related Merit Badges are available except Motor Boating. AQUATIC SAFETY RULES AND REGULATIONS 1 . Anyone participating in aquatic activities must have a current (w ithi n 36 months) Physician's Certified Medical Examination, take the swim test cla ss ification and attend the aquatic orientation . 2. Non swimmers may go boating but must wear a P .F.D. (Personal Flotation Device) and be accompanied by a swimmer. Canoes and sail boats may only be used by swimmers, P.F.D.'s must be used at all times. 3. A "Safe Swim Defense" and "Safety Afloat" Certification will be conducted for all Unit Leaders during their week at Camp. This certification is a must before conducting a Troop swim or Troop boating activity. 4. The "Buddy System" is the backbone of the BSA aquatics program. The buddy system and proper use of the buddy tags will be explai ned at the aquatics orientation. Our goal is to have "EV ERY SCOUT A SWIMMER AND EVERY SWIMMER A LIFE SAVER". SPECIAL AQUATIC AWARDS BSA LIFEGUARD Scouts mu st hold Swimming, Life Saving and Rowing Merit Badges. C.P .R . Certification is required prior to Camp. Scouts will earn a pocket size certificate and are entitled to wear the patch on their swim trunks. MILE SWIM The Mile Swim is held on Thursday evenings 4:30 p.m. at the Lake at Camp Cherokee under the supervision of the Aquatics Director. Scouts wishing to participate must successfully complete 4 hours of training in distance swimming. Each Scout successfully completing the Mile Swim will receive a pocket size certificate and are entitled to we ar the patch on their swim trunks. -27- l I I I I 1 I I FIELD SPORTS The Field Spo rt s area i nc l udes t he Rifle and Archery Range , Ori e nteering . Th e Range Office r will conduct range orientation at the Campfire Circle . The Archery and Rifle/Shotgun Orientation will be given at this time . OLE MAN OF THE RIFLE / OLE MAN OF THE BOW SHOOT Ea c h week, the Range Officer will conduct a Rifle Match of all leaders (over age 18). Ol e Man of the Bow will also be conduc ted at Archery Range each week. Specific times for all shoots will be announced at the Sunday Leade r s Roundtable. SC OU TC RAFT Certain Merit Badges are designed to challenge Scouts more than others. Maturity of an individual sometimes means the difference between just passing the badg e or having a really meaningful experience. The four Scoutcraft Merit Badges have varying degrees of difficulty which require experience, at times size, and a maturity of judgement which most of our younger Scouts do not possess. A closer look at those badges, hopefully, will give you, the Unit Leader, an opportunity to better counsel your Scouts as to the desirability of them taking these badges while a t Camp. CAMPING PIONEERING COOKING WILDERNESS SURVIVAL This is the final test of a Scout's ability to be home in the woods. Younger scouts, even if t hey have the required twenty nights of camping, do not have the insight to deal with what this badge can offer. The overnight should be an opportunity for Scouts to relate experiences they have had on the trail to peers who can appreciate what is being said. Unit Leaders should be aware that small two - man tents are to be brought to camp for the overnight. This badge has a project i n it that younger, sma l ler boys have difficulty in making meaningful contributions of labor. They , at times feel left out of what is going on , whereas the next year they might be bigger and better able to cope with the project. Younger Scouts usually do not have the patience to prepare the meals effectively and do not have the fire management skills to s a fely work in the cooking area. Sometimes control of every situation becomes difficult if the maturity of the Scout is lacking . Most of the intricacies of the badge are lost on younger Scouts . Although they learn the bas ic requirements, this badge is de s igned for more in depth challenges which the older boy can apprec iate and which is hindered b y the younger boy who is still str uggling wi t h the basic requirements . Maturity of exper i ence and judgment would increase the enjoyment of t h is badge for everyone taking it. -28- SCOUTCRAFT (continued) ECOLOGY/CONSERVATION The Ecology/Conservation program is headquartered in the Nature Lodge. This area offers the most Merit Badges of any program area in camp . Astronomy, Environmental Science, Fish and Wildlife Management, Forestry, Mammals, Nature, Reptile Study, Soil & Water Conservation and Fishing. Each week the Ecology/Conservation staff offers special programs for Scouts to participate as individuals, Patrols or Troops. Turtle Races, Critter Crawls, and Star Study are just a few. Camp conservation projects are also available upon request. HANDICRAFT The Handicraft Area is headquartered in Handicraft Tent. Scouts can receive instruction Basketry, Woodcarving and Leatherwork as well as Indian Lore. CAMP WIDE EVENTS Each year a campwide event is conducted to challenge the teamwork, resourcefulness and Scout Spirit of Patrols. This year is no exception. Since the Patrol method is the name of the game, we are currently planning an event that will significantly strengthen your Scout Patrols. This should serve to be a real asset to your overall Troop program. TROOP ACTIVITIES Every Troop is encouraged to take an overnighter and cook two (2) meals during the week. Your assigned campsite is only a "base" - the starting point to fun and adventure. The Central Camp is only a place for instruction. Real Scout Camp happens in the other 865 acres known as Camp and its surrounding land . Don't short-change your Scouts - plan now to see it all. This experience will enable a Scout to complete part of his Camping Skill Award requirements and many of the Merit Badge Requirements. This Camp experience may be done in the following · ways: OVERNIGHT CANOE TRIP - This is a troop activity with Leaders participating. OVERNIGHT HIKING TRIP - This is a troop activity with Leaders participating FREE SWIM - LAKE FREE SWIM - RIVER CANOE TO FREE SWIM SCHEDULE YOUR TROOPS OVERNIGHT AND FREE SWIM AT THE ADMINISTRATION OFFICE ON SUNDAY. -29- I •• I I I I I I I I ' I ' ' ' I THE HIGH ADVENTURE PROGRAM The Chickasaw Council again offers a High Adventure Activity for the more experienced Scout Camper.

Particular attention is paid to cheerful service as a n essential to a happy camping experience. True brotherhood exists among those who exhibit these t raits in their daily lives. The Order as you can see from the statement of purpose is not a program or a thing apart from Scout ing . It is a device used in the campin g program of 1he Boy Scout s of America. It has its roots in the troop and post that goes camping. It gath er' tho'e designated by troops o r posts as members of the Orde r into a local council group known as a lodge. LODGE The O rder of the Arrow is a thing of the individual rather than of the mass.
