NEW SCOUT PROGRAM (1st year camper)
- New Scouts and their leaders should meet with our New Scout Coordinator on Sunday.
- They will be given a schedule of days, times, and places to be in order to complete their Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class requirements.
- Scout Leaders should familiarize themselves with the schedules of their new Scouts to ensure they get to their scheduled meetings and should accompany their Scouts throughout the week to ensure proper notation of achievement and to assist in their instruction.
- We recommend that the new Scouts not take more than one (1) or two (2) of the less difficult Merit Badges and concentrate most of their efforts on rank advancement and fun. There is nothing wrong with allowing Scouts to have some free time to venture out. This a part of what camp is all about.
- This year the camp will be offering Swimming and First Aid Merit Badge Sessions in the afternoon for the first year campers to work on. These sessions will not conflict with the Trail Blazer Program.
- Unit (camp) leaders are responsible for reviewing and signing-off any requirements that the Scout may work on while attending the Trail Blazer Program. It is not the responsibility of the staff to sign-off requirements in the Scout's handbook.
- Summer camp is designed so that the Scout has a good time and will want to come back. A first time Scout is very impressionable. If he doesn't have a good time his first year, he will not return.
- With this in mind, please encourage the New Scouts to enjoy camp and not worry about Merit Badges their first year.
