The program is prepared in good faith and
could change. Scouts who sign up for
this event, need to know they must be prepared by having read the entire MB
book beforehand, prepare the prerequisites as stated and bring their work with
them to camp. Please have them place all
papers, prepared & signed blue card, MB book etc in a sturdy zip lock bag
with their name and troop number &
town on everything. Scouts without a
blue card will be turned away from the session. All Eagle required
badges are offered as an introduction only. The counselor will get them started on the
badge on the right foot. No Eagle
required badge will be completed at camp.
Scouts with partials cannot be accommodated at this time, but we do wish
to know ahead of time of your scouts’ needs as we will try to put them in
contact with the counselors in question ahead of time.
Scouts
who have just joined the troop should not be concentrating on badges but rather
on rank advancement. We are offering a
unique program for these young scouts.
Only requirement is that they bring their scout book with them.
Scouts needing service hours for rank
advancement and able adults willing to help camp may plan ahead of time to
undertake any number tasks from painting/staining, trail or site maintenance,
cleaning, rearranging a small rock wall, plumbing, general repair, etc. Please state your wishes & number of
participants.

# Pioneering:
buy 50’ coil of 3/8” manila rope or equivalent (hardware store), cut a
40’ coil and whip ends. Cut the
remaining 10’ into 2 x 2’ pieces and 1 x 6’ piece for knot practice. Practice
the knots with the 6’ piece of rope.
Bring all your rope to camp in a bag.
For requirement 1, practice and get good at it, so you can quickly
demonstrate at camp. #3,
practice all 7 knots so you can demo them using your own rope. #4, Use the 2 x 2’ pieces to make the splice
requirements. Show your work at camp.

the MB counselor, then give the talk. Have them
