In the event of limited facilities, troops MAY be asked to share a campsite with another troop. *************************************************************************** -13- �TROOP ORGANIZATION IN CAMP The same Troop Organization used to conduct your year-round program is the one you use to conduct your Troop ' s suo:mer camp program. Many Scoutmasters have found that when the entire Troop will not be in Camp, the re-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 trai ni ng ". However, your main objective should be to see that every Scout gets to camp. Isn't that why he really joined you.r Troop in the first place? A Troop we ll organized in this matter will not only have a stimulating camp experie nce , but also have well-trained junior leaders for the next fall's program. Each Troop must be under the direction of a competent male adult leader (at least 21 years of age) who is in residence 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 involving definite skills, such as instructors 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 responsible for the program scheduling, inspections, roll calls, and the coordination of the individual Patrols. PATROL LEADERS should act in their usual capacity as the boy leaders of the Patrols in all their Patrol activities . They represent their Patrol in the Troop Leaders Council. At least 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 "Honor Troop" rating. A SCOUTMASTER ACHIEVES ONE OF THE GOALS OF SCOUTING LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT - BY DELEGATING RESPONSIBILITY TO BOYS AND TEACHING THEM TO MEET IT . -14- �,;.,._.·,~ .s.,,,Jc flos+ s.,,Je m ~ /:f'pd,·Nff 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 ac t as table advisors and occupy positions marked as "guests". They will 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. (P l ease post on Campsite Bulletin Board.) -15- �The seating arrangement 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 prime camp objective is to train the Scout in those good manners and court esies essential to one who tries to live up to the principles of the Scout Oath and Law . The Host is responsible for introduc tions, for general guidance to the tone and level of conversations, and instructs the waiter when to secure "refills", and when to go for the next co urs e . He makes sure everyone gets e qual portions of food the first time around, and that the guests are served first . THE ASSISTANT HOST aids the host; serves the vegetables or salads , and observes the rou t i ne so that he may successfully s uc ceed the host. WAITERS r e port 30 minutes in advanc e of mealtime and properly set up the tables . Waiters are the only persons who ma y go back to the serving window for seconds and are the only person except the Dining Hall Steward wh o moves around in the Dining Hall during meals. They return all dirty dishe s, food, etc, at the c lose of the meal, c lean 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 COMMITTEES SCOUTING MORNING GRACE: 1.

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 seco nd 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 7-13, 1985) at the Kia Kima Scout Reserva tion . The confe renc e will be under the dir ection of The cost is $85. 00 per Scout. Make plans now to have your Troop represen t ed! ADULT SCOUT LEADERS DEVELOPMENT Adult Sco ut Leader Training is simply collecting what we already know about boys and organizing this information toward s the aims and methods of the Boy Scout Prog ram. Leaders who know the wa ys 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 . Trai ning in character, citizenship and personal fitness - while having fu n. 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 a ttending Camp with you . PROV IS[ONAL 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 Re 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, what 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 these questions will be YES if you and your Patrol Leaders begin now to plan your program to meet these objectives . The follwiog is designed to help you pre pare a top-flight program. REMEMBER ~-The success of your camp program will 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 serve to stimulate the building of your Unit's program throughout the year . A good program for the camp follows along the idea of a morning actlvity 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 l. Set a tone that will give your Troop camp real class. Insist on good manners, good fellowship, clean sportsmanship, clean fun, and a clean camp . 2. Allow Patrols to plan and carry out some things they thought of and wan t 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 OOTing in ScOUTing --- go on an overnight OUT of Camp. 6. Be sure there ' s persona l achievement, advancement possibilities, and 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- �DON'T Campi ng should be I. Al low too many activities to be scheduled . r ela xing. 2. Be alarmed if things happen that are not in the schedule some ci rcumstances warrant changes in plans . 3. Engage in activities that can be done better in t own, like base ball, and football . 4. Overlook the four big items in program -- WOODC RAFT, CAMPCRAFT, AQUATICS, AND PHYSICAL FITNESS . 5. Judge the success of the camp by Lhe 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 er r or in operation to presis t or continue. "Stop the Show" - - correc t 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 Sulllller Camp Program sho uld be a major topic of i nter est at Troop Leaders Council Meetings for several weeks befo r e 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 t his booklet as a n aid. Remember, Camp is conducted on a TROOP , PATROL , AND INDIVIDUAL BASIS, and a program cannot be decided upon independen tl y . To be s ure, it may be necessary to occasio nally shift certain program items that you have listed on your schedule, in orde r to accomodate eve r yone, but this will be done wh e n no other alternative is possible . Let ' s dramat ize how your Unit might go about arranging its summer program. Here we go! Let's imagine we 're t alking this over with the boy leaders of your Oni t. FIRST, how about the fixed items? Some fixed items like retreat, meals, campwide campfi r es, and taps are already l isted on you r pr ogram . NEXT, what does our Unit need? What ski l l practice and advancement experie nce is needed? Let's STOP A MINUTE and take a good look at the Tende r foo t , Second , and Fir st Class r equirements . What does a Scou t have to DO to advance to these ranks? The next l ogical questioni s "Why can ' t my boys become Fi r st or Second Class Scouts at Camp? The answer is, "If you PLAN for it, they can. " At Camp the opportunities for Scoutcraft advancemen t is much great e r than in the home community, so don't miss the once-a-year opportunity to move your Scouts ahead one ra nk . -22- �REMEMBER, a boy becomes a Scout in the fullest sense of the word, only when he has become a Scout Hiker and a Scout Camper . Let's review the four steps of advanc emen t to see how they fit with your Camp plans . 1• PREPARATION: By preparation in the Scouting program, be sure that your camp program, planned in advance, i nclude s the opportunity for every Scout to participate in all the skills r e qu ired as a part of a natural hiking and camping e xper ience . 2. QUALIFICATION : Row does he qualify? "By pas si ng a test " is the obvious answer. But, the obvious answer is wrong. Be qual if ies 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, ther e is little need for the axe sharpening test or the fire-building t e st, because he has passed them. A TROOP (DAY OR OVERNIGHT) HIKE WHILE AT CAMP CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS AIM . 3. REVIEW: By a Progress Review. Plan to have your entire Troop Committee come to camp on Friday for this . Boys who qual ify in camp bu t not given the opportunity for r ev ie w and recognition unt i l Fall, often lose interest 4. RECOGNITION: By a Court of Honor . The Scout should have this recognition a s soon as poss i ble , perhaps at a Troop Campfire immediat e ly after the Campwide Campfire on Friday night . All Badges and awards available at the Administration Off ic e . Skill awards should be prese nted daily . Now, t ha t we have reviewed t he four s teps i n advancement, le t's plan for it . Let's take an INVENTORY of our needs by us i ng 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 Sports, and Sco u tcraft . (Physical Tra ini ng is buil t in t o all of Scouting's Activities . ) In the aquatics and field s ports areas qualified adults from the Camp Staff must be on ha nd; however, they may call upon your Unit 's Junio r Leaders to assist t hem . The Scoutcraft areas include Nature, Conse rvation, Campcraft, Rope Yar d and Woodt ools. Some of these areas should be duplicated in each Troop Campsite. It is expected that the Troops will use their own leadership in t hese areas with the assistance of your Camp Commissioner in either th e Camp or Troop areas. There are several reasons for this: 1. Your Unit's Patrol and Juni o r Leaders know the specific needs of your boys and can direct their instruction to meet those needs. -23- �2. By using your own instructors in giving demonstrations, you are helping to strengthen the operation of the Patrol Method. 3. This is one of the finest oppoortunities to meet one of our camping goals - TO TRAIN BOYS FOR LEADERSHIP. Scoutmasters should certainly be cont inually training their boy leaders throughout the year. Then, too, the Camp Commissioner will work with your boy leaders. MERIT BADGE OPPORTONITIES: Listed below are a number of Merit Badges which can be earned in whole or in part at summer camp . It should be borne in mind that since a Merit Eadge is recognition of outstanding ability and achievement in a certain field, MERE ATTENDANCE AT INSTRUCTION SESSIONS DOES NOT ENTITLE A BOY TO A MERIT BADGE. In many cases, however, tbe boy who does not complete all the requirements satisfactorily will be given a certification of "Par tial Completion . " Some boys may wish to stay a second week just to complete Merit Badges. A provisional Troop will be available just for this purpose. STEPS IN EARNING A MERIT BADGE: 1. The Scout picks the subjects i n which he is interested, secures the Merit Badge pamphlets, and studies the requiremen t s 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 a.nd do the requirements WELL . 2. Before approaching a Merit Badge Counselor, a boy should know what the requirements are for that par ticu lar Merit Badge, and what will be expected of him. 3. There are many requirements which CAN and MUST be completed before going to Camp. (See notes on following pages*) 4. You, the Scoutmaster, can give your boys a hand by POINTING OUT which Merit Badges are available, and HELPING THEM plan to try for a fe w. 5. The Scoutmaster should be prepared to hand in a schedule of the Scouts wishing to take Merit Badge/Skill Award work by name> subject, Troop number by May 2nd -24- �SKILLS AWARDS 1. FIRST AID 2.

SCOUTC RAFT - Certain Merit Badges ar e designed to challenge Scouts more than others. Maturity of an i ndividual sometimes means the difference between just passing the badge or having a really meaningful experience. The four Scoutcraft Merit Badge s have varying degrees of difficulty which require expP. rience, at time s 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 at Camp . CAMPING This is the final test of a Scout's ability to be home in the woods. Younger scouts, even i f they have the required twenty nights of camping, do not have the insight to deal with what this badge can o Efe r. The overnight should be an opportunity for Scouts to relate ex periences they have had on the trail to peers who cao appreciate what is being said. Unit Leaders should be aware that small two-man tents are to be brought to camp for the overnight . PIONEERING This badge has a pr oject in it that younger, smaller boys have difficulty in making meaningful contributions oE 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 th e projec t . COOKING Younger Scouts usually do not have the patience to prepare the meals effectively and do not have the fire management skills to safely work in the cooking area. Sometimes control of every situation becomes difficult if the maturity of the Scout is lacking . WILDERNESS SURVIVAL Most of the intricacies of the badge are lost on younger Scouts . Although they learn the basic requirements, this badge is designed Eor more in depth challenges which the older boy can appreciate and which is hindered by the younger boy who is still struggling with the basic requirements . Maturity of experience and judgment would increase the enjoyment of this badge for everyone taking it. -28- �THE HIGH ADVENTURE PROGRAM The Chickasaw Council agaio offers a High Adventure Activity for the more experienced Scout Camper .

In the event of limited facilities, troops MAY be asked to share a campsite with another troop. *************************************************************************** -13- TROOP ORGANIZATION IN CAMP The same Troop Organization used to conduct your year-round program is the one you use to conduct your Troop ' s suo:mer camp program. Many Scoutmasters have found that when the entire Troop will not be in Camp, the re-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 traini ng". However, your main objective should be to see that every Scout gets to camp. Isn't that why he really joined you.r 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 competent male adult leader (at least 21 years of age) who is in residence 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 involving definite skills, such as instructors 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 responsible for the program scheduling, inspections, roll calls, and the coordination of the individual Patrols. PATROL LEADERS should act in their usual capacity as the boy leaders of the Patrols in all their Patrol activities . They represent their Patrol in the Troop Leaders Council. At least 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 "Honor Troop" rating. A SCOUTMASTER ACHIEVES ONE OF THE GOALS OF SCOUTING - LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT - BY DELEGATING RESPONSIBILITY TO BOYS AND TEACHING THEM TO MEET IT . -14- ,;.,._. ·,~ .s .,,,Jc flos+ s.,,Je m ~ /:f'pd,·Nff 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 ac t as table advisors and occupy positions marked as "guests". They will 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. (P l ease post on Campsite Bulletin Board.) -15- The seating arrangement 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 prime camp objective is to train the Scout in those good manners and court esies essential to one who tries to live up to the principles of the Scout Oath and Law. The Host is responsible for introduc tions, for general guidance to the tone and level of conversations, and instructs the waiter when to secure "refills", and when to go for the next course . He makes sure everyone gets equal portions of food the first time around, and that the guests are served first . THE ASSISTANT HOST aids the host; serves the vegetables or salads , and observes the rout i ne so that he may successfully succeed the host. WAITERS r e port 30 minutes 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, c lean 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 COMMITTEES O~ 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 of Camp (July 7-13, 1985) at the Kia Kima Scout Reserva tion . The confe rence will be under the direction of The cost is $85. 00 per Scout. Make plans now to have your Troop represent ed! 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 Prog ram. 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 a ttending Camp with you . PROV IS[ONAL 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 Re 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, what 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 these questions will be YES if you and your Patrol Leaders begin now to plan your program to meet these objectives . The follwiog is designed to help you pre pare a top-flight program. REMEMBER ~-The success of your camp program will 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 serve to stimulate the building of your Unit's program throughout the year . A good program for the camp follows along the idea of a morning actlvity 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 l. Set a tone that will give your Troop camp real class. Insist on good manners, good fellowship, clean sportsmanship, clean fun, and a clean camp . 2. Allow Patrols to plan and carry out some things they thought of and wan t 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 OOTi ng in ScOUTing --- go on an overnight OUT of Camp. 6 . Be sure there ' s personal achievement, advancement possibilities, and 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- DON'T I. Al low too many activities to be scheduled . Ca mp i ng should be r elaxing. 2. Be alarmed if things happen that are not in the schedule - some ci rcumstances warrant changes in plans . 3. Engage in activities that c an be done better in t o wn, like base ball, and football . 4. Overloo k the four big items in program -- WOODC RA FT, CAMPCRAFT, AQUATICS, AND PHYSICAL FITNESS . 5. Judge the success of the camp by Lhe numb er 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 er r or in operation to presis t or continue. "Sto p the Show" -- correc t 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 Cam p. Laying out the Sulllller Camp Program sho uld be a major topic of i nterest at Troop Leaders Council Meetings for several weeks befo r e 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 t his booklet as a n aid. Remember, Camp is condu cted on a TROO P , PATROL , AND INDIVIDUAL BASIS, and a program cann ot be decided upon independen tl y . To be s ure, it may be necessary to occasio nally shift certain program items that you have listed on your schedule, in orde r to accomodate ever yone, but this will be done wh e n no other alternative is possible . Let ' s dramat ize how your Unit might go about arranging its summer program. Here we go! Let's imagine we 're t alking this over with the boy leaders of yo ur Oni t. FIRST, how about the fixed items? Some fixed items like retreat, meals, campwide campfi r es, and taps are already l isted on you r p r ogram . NEXT, what does our Unit need? What ski l l practice and advancement experie nce is needed? Let's STO P A MINUTE and take a good look at the Tende r foo t , Seco nd , and Fir st Class r equirements . What does a Scou t have to DO to advance to these ranks? The next l ogical questioni s "Why can ' t my boys become Fi r st or Second Class Scouts at Camp? The answer is, "If you PLAN for it, they can. " At Camp the opportunities for Scoutcraft advancemen t is much great e r than in the home community, so don't miss the once-a-year opportunity to move your Scouts ahead one ra nk . -22- REMEMBER, a boy becomes a Scout in the fullest sense of the word, only when he has become a Scout 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, i ncludes the opportunity for every Scout to participate in all the skills r equired as a part of a natural hiking and camping e xper ience . Row does he qualify? "By pas sing a test" is the obvious answer. But, the obvious answer is wrong. Be qual ifies 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 t est, 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 bu t not given the opportunity for rev iew and recognition unt i l Fall, often lose interest By a Court of Honor . The Scout should have this recognition as soon as poss i ble , perhaps at a Troop Campfire immediat e ly after the Campwide Campfire on Friday night . All Badges and awards available at the Administration Office . Skill awards should be presented daily . Now, t ha t we have reviewed the four s teps in advancement, let's plan for it . Let's take an INVENTORY of our needs by us i ng 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 Sports, and Scoutcraft . (Physical Tra ining is buil t int o all of Scouting's Activities . ) In the aquatics and field s ports areas qualified adults from the Camp Staff must be on hand; however, they may call upon your Unit 's Junio r Leaders to assist them . The Scoutcraft areas include Nature, Conservation, Campcraft, Rope Yar d and Woodtools. Some of these areas should be duplicated in each Troop 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- 2. By using your own instructors in giving demonstrations, you are helping to strengthen the operation of the Patrol Method. 3 . This is one of the finest oppoortunities to meet one of our camping goals - TO TRAIN BOYS FOR LEADERSHIP. Scoutmasters should certainly be cont inually training their boy leaders throughout the year. Then, too, the Camp Commissioner will work with your boy leaders. MERIT BADGE OPPORTONITIES: Listed below are a number of Merit Badges which can be earned in whole or in part at summer camp . It should be borne in mind that since a Merit Eadge is recognition of outstanding ability and achievement in a certain field, MERE ATTENDANCE AT INSTRUCTION SESSIONS DOES NOT ENTITLE A BOY TO A MERIT BADGE. In many cases, however, tbe boy who does not complete all the requirements satisfactorily will be given a certification 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 this purpose. STEPS IN EARNING A MERIT BADGE: 1. The Scout picks the subjects i n which he is interested, secures the Merit Badge pamphlets, and studies the requirement s 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 a.nd 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 requirements which CAN and MUST be completed before going to Camp. (See notes on following pages*) 4. You, the Scoutmaster, can give your boys a hand by POINTING OUT which Merit Badges are available, and HELPING THEM plan to try for a few. 5. The Scoutmaster should be prepared to hand in a schedule of the Scouts wishing to take Merit Badge/Skill Award work by name> subject, Troop number by May 2nd -24- SKILLS AWARDS 1. FIRST AID 2.

This cer tification is a must before conducting a Tr oop swim or Troop boa t ing activity . 4 . The "Buddy System" is the backbone of the BSA aquatics program. The buddy system and proper use of the buddy tags wi 11 be explained at the aquatics orientation. Our goal is to have "EVERY SCOUT A SWIMMER AND EVERY SWIMMER A LIFE SAVER" . SPECIAL AQUATIC AWARDS BSA LIFEGUARD Scouts must hold Swimming, Life Saving, Canoeing, First Aid and Rowing Merit Badges . C. P.R. Certification is required prior to Camp . This is a 30 hour course.

Ole Man of the Bow will also be conducted at Archery Range each week . Specific times for all shoots will be announced at the Sunday Leaders Roundcable. SCOUTC RAFT Certain Merit Badges are designed to challenge Scouts more than others. Maturity of an i ndividual sometimes means the difference between just passing the badge or having a really meaningful experience. The four Scoutcraft Merit Badge s have varying degrees of difficulty which require expP. rience, 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 at 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 they have the required twenty nights of camping, do not have the insight to deal with what this badge can o Efer. The overnight should be an opportunity for Scouts to relate experiences they have had on the trail to peers who cao 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 in it that younger, smaller boys have difficulty in making meaningful contributions oE 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 projec t . Younger Scouts usually do not have the patience to prepare the meals effectively and do not have the fire management skills to safely 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 basic requirements, this badge is designed Eor more in depth challenges which the older boy can appreciate and which is hindered by the younger boy who is still struggling with the basic requirements . Maturity of experience and judgment would increase the enjoyment of this badge for everyone taking it. -28- THE HIGH ADVENTURE PROGRAM The Chickasaw Council agaio offers a High Adventure Activity for the more experienced Scout Camper .
