FAQ's
-
Do Scouts Have to Go?
-
A: While the answer is typically no, this is as close to a yes as it comes. Summercamp is the pinnacle of a scouts year regardless if they are a first year scout or not. Why? Here are some reasons:
-
Personal Growth - It allows them to grow into their own person. Being away from home with friends they know, following a schedule, etc. is a great opportunity for them.
-
Advancement -
-
For first year scouts, they are introduced to all rank requirements for Scout, Many for Tenderfoot & Second Class and a few from First Class. If they come each evening to an older approved scout or one of the scoutmasters, they can get signed off right there.
-
For older scouts, the possibility to come out with 4 merit badges and in some cases 5 is a tremendous opportunity!

-
Non Stop Fun - Where can we start. From the morning breakfast where skits/songs are performed by staff to troop competitions to free time there is something for everyone. Below are some examples:
-
Conquisitor - teams of 3 race in canoes by pattling with their hands to pirate island however the sea monsters (staff) are in the waters looking to "Swamp" their boat. First troop to get past the monsters win!
-
Fire Host Challenge - Troop on one side and another on the other side of a bucket which is suspended in the air on a line running across the waterfront beach on a pully. Each team has a firehouse and with high pressure water, the troop that can push the bucket to the other side wins!
-
Water Trampolines (Blue Swimmers) , Canoe's, Paddle Boards, Kayaks, Sailboats (older scouts), Log rolling, Swimming, and way more!
-
22 Rifle, Shotgun, Archery, Archery trap, climbing wall, zip line, and more!
-
Arts and crafts such as glow in the dark spin art, clay, other projects which gives the troop points!
