Michael rated satisfaction with the older Scout program 6 out of 10 Michael added these comments regarding the younger Scout program Tomahawk Scout Reservation’s Merit Badge Program Michael rankedthe merit badge program7 out of 10** in considering**Tomahawk Scout Reservation Merit badges are a big draw for Scouts, especially the badges that are harder to get away from camp: shooting, boating, etc. Michael rated satisfaction with the merit badge program 5 out of 10because: Michael added these comments regarding the merit badge program Merit badge instruction quality varied. Scouts who got a great counselor had a great time: the climbing instructor was awesome, as was the aquatics program. Some badges don’t work as well in a camp setting–personal fitness, emergency prep–but were heavily attended because they’re Eagle required; I’d have preferred to see more wilderness survival, kayaking, etc. badges and fewer classroom badges. Tomahawk Scout Reservation’sFacilities Michael rankedfacilities7 out of 10** in considering**Tomahawk Scout Reservation We’ve traditionally gone to a camp where patrols cook in the site, which is a great experience but can be stressful–managing cooking and cleanup while also managing merit badge sessions and troop activities is hard for adults, much less for Scouts. We wanted to try a camp with a dining hall to compare the experience. We’ve also always brought our own tents, and I wanted to try the canvas wall tents–reducing the amount of gear we haul, and giving the Scouts an experience with a different kind of camping. Michael rated satisfaction with the facilities5 out of 10because: Michael added these comments regarding the facilities – For the most part, the dining hall was a good experience; the Scouts figured out the tasks for the duty patrol pretty quickly, and the dining hall was relatively efficient. We have a Scout with a severe peanut allergy, and two with gluten allergies, so I often had to run interference with the kitchen–the camp was transitioning to a new food service vendor, so everyone was learning–but everyone stayed safe and fed. The tents were a great experience–a storm the second night certainly helped highlight who got their tents set up tight, and who chose to set up camp in a dry stream bed! Tomahawk Scout Reservation’s Staff Michael ranked**the staff 5 out of 10 in considering**Tomahawk Scout Reservation Michael rated satisfaction with the staff5 out of 10because: Michael added these comments regarding the staff – The director and key staff were great–very professional and responsive to our requests and questions. Many of the merit badge counselors stood out, and the Scouts had a great opportunity to learn from younger teachers. Communication between staff members was sometimes a problem–when, for example, we had activities rescheduled because of weather, the new schedule didn’t always make it to the event director by the time our troop showed up. But the staff always went above and beyond to work with us on issues and keep things moving.

There is an “adult” building with two bathrooms – one for men, one for youth! One woman used the youth facility since no youth were there and it IS a building they aren’t even supposed to enter – and go in trouble! Also, “comfort stations” have one stall for all adults to share and a three stall area for boys. There are also latrines – but those can’t be YPT compliant because there are two toilet areas and a urinal, no walls. So, for women during the daytime, these are a serious problem. Unless someone stands outside to prevent anyone else from entering, it’s FAR too easy for a male to walk in on her using the toilet. And it may be the only usable one nearby (within a 20 minute walk) if the comfort station adult stall is in use. Not cool! (I don’t care about using latrines – it’s the lack of privacy walls I have an issue with.)

Answers from Phil about Camp McKee in Kentucky * Phil is a Scoutmaster * Phil’s troop wasat Camp McKee beginning on July 5, 2015 for six days. * Camp McKee is in council for Phil * Phil has attended Camp McKee for 26 consecutive years, and travels approximately 55 miles one way to camp. * The troop had 11 of their 15 Scouts attending camp with 3 adults, (0 not registered Scouters). * The cost to attend Camp McKee was $250.00 per Scout. Does Camp McKee have a younger Scout program? Yes Phil ranked**the younger Scout program’s importance 9 out of 10in consideringCamp McKee* Getting quality instruction and lots of Tfoot-1Class sign-offs is very helpful and one of the most important parts of camp. Some scouts who don’t go to camp their first year struggle to make First Class in 18 months and are more susceptible to dropping out. It is also a great bonding experience as the younger scout patrol all goes through it together Phil rated satisfaction with the younger Scout program 8 out of 10 Yes, overall for the last years it has…it has gotten better recently. There have been some rank sign-off’s not done recently that were in the past, but I believe that they may not have really been finished in the past either. A young scout can also earn up to four merit badges at summer camp (two Eagle req.), in addition to many rank sign-offs. Phil added these comments regarding the younger Scout program Does Camp McKee have a older Scout program? Yes Phil ranked theolder Scout program ranked 3 out of 10in considering* Camp McKee Most of our older scouts go to summer camp for Merit badges and to have fun in the events staged. So ‘special’ programs (like Lewis & Clark, Climbing week, etc.), are not as important to them. Also the camp doesn’t offer all the special ones every week and we typically go during a less populated week, so they are not offered. That said, we did get two Scouts (both Eagles), into BSA LIfeguard training instead of more merit badges and they loved it. It was a special arrangement with our camp staff. They can be very flexible. Phil rated satisfaction with the older Scout program 8 out of 10 Flexibility, many, many merit badges offered and good instruction. Opportunities for troop competitions that the older scouts teach/guide the younger ones through. Phil added these comments regarding the younger Scout program Camp McKee’s Merit Badge Program Phil rankedthe merit badge program10 out of 10** in considering**Camp McKee This is the best place and time to get the Merit badges they need for Star to Eagle ranks. And they can earn six normally, and sometimes seven or eight in one year. That means, the first year of camp they get three or four, then two years later they are up to 16 or so, even if they don’t do anything else during the year (which of course is not the case).

And bad facilities are the easiest way for a scout’s experience (IMO) to be bad. Phil rated satisfaction with the facilities9 out of 10because: We have been there a million times….and we know what to expect. Small improvements are made each year. The Shooting Sports at Camp McKee are THE BEST in the country. Our Shooting Sports Director is phenomenal. Our shotgun and rifle venues draw troops from surrounding states year in and year out. Phil added these comments regarding the facilities – Camp McKee’s Staff Phil ranked**the staff 9 out of 10 in considering**Camp McKee We go near the end of the camp season.

Does Rodney Scout Reservation have a younger Scout program? Yes Thomas ranked**the younger Scout program’s importance 9 out of 10in consideringRodney Scout Reservation* Beyond Troop activities, this introduces young Scouts to basic Scouting ideals and/or reinforces what the Troop is teaching. Also it introduces young Scouts to camp life, how to get around and where things are, and most importantly time management. Most of my young Scouts are in elementary school, and not use to moving from class to class. The bonus of Rodney is they include at least 1 period of a “fun” activity to introduce the younger Scouts to. Rodney also offers the younger Scouts certain training that would be difficult for us to do in our area. Thomas rated satisfaction with the younger Scout program 8 out of 10 Enthusiasm. Younger Scouts leave camp wanting to come back. If they say they covered a requirement, they did. Thomas added these comments regarding the younger Scout program Does Rodney Scout Reservation have a older Scout program? Yes Thomas ranked theolder Scout program ranked 9 out of 10in considering* Rodney Scout Reservation If you just cater to younger Scouts, what are the older Scouts going to do? Why would they want to go to camp? There has to be programs outside of merit badges, to keep the older Scouts interest.

Thomas rated satisfaction with the merit badge program 9 out of 10because: Not give aways. Always get a few incompletes, which is how it should be as some merit badges are tough to do in 1 week. The counselors at the camp were almost always willing to offer help and work with the Scouts. Thomas added these comments regarding the merit badge program Rodney Scout Reservation’sFacilities Thomas rankedfacilities8 out of 10** in considering**Rodney Scout Reservation Better experience for all. Not saying has to me modern facilities, just maintained. Should feel safe, that if the camp staff cares to maintain, they care about the Scouts. We do primitive camping, and when we do, we expect primitive or no facilities. When going to camp, we do not need to feel as if the latrine is going to collapse or you are going to fall in. Thomas rated satisfaction with the facilities8 out of 10because: Dedicated adult showers, available 24/7. If there was an issue with anything in camp, the Ranger staff tried to repair it immediately. This is sometimes a safety and/or health issue. Thomas added these comments regarding the facilities – Rodney Scout Reservation’s Staff Thomas ranked**the staff 8 out of 10 in considering**Rodney Scout Reservation Are they properly trained? Been to a camp where counselors didn’t know the subject matter. Are they enthusiastic? Do they want to be there? If not, will not be a good time for my Scouts. Do they set an example of Scout Spirit? Are they having some fun? I want a camp where my Scouts may look into the future and say they want to work there and help other Scouts. Thomas rated satisfaction with the staff8 out of 10because: Hate to say this, but with Rodney staff as I have seen, they set the bar, then try to exceed it. They work with Scout Spirit, follow the oath and law. Show enthusiasm and willingness to work with others that set an example to my older Scouts, and to the younger Scouts. When I ask other Scouters about camps in a reasonable distance from our area to possible rotate to, this is what I am looking for in the staff. Thomas added these comments regarding the staff –

Dale added these comments regarding the younger Scout program Camp Parsons’s Merit Badge Program Dale rankedthe merit badge program9 out of 10** in considering**Camp Parsons I feel it’s very important that the merit badge program at camp offer as many as possible. Merit badges don’t make a Scout an “expert” on the topic, but is simply a means to expose the Scout to something that they may not have considered before. Dale rated satisfaction with the merit badge program 10 out of 10because: There was no limit to the number of Scouts that could sign up for any of the offered merit badge sessions. This removed all the pressure and heartache that Scouts face at other times when only a certain number of Scouts would get into a session that they really wanted to attend. Dale added these comments regarding the merit badge program Camp Parsons’sFacilities Dale rankedfacilities10 out of 10** in considering**Camp Parsons There are certain minimums that the Camp must offer: clean bathrooms, showers and an area for the adults to go to (out of sight of the Scouts if possible) to check in with work (i.e. WiFi access is great!). Dale rated satisfaction with the facilities10 out of 10because: Camp Parsons offers in camp-site bathrooms and showers. They completed a new and expanded Dining Hall that is capable of seating and serving the entire camp for each meal. The food prepared and served was great! The Troops did have to prepare and serve two meals in their camp sites so that TTFC Scouts could meet those requirements (and to give the camp cooks another day off).

Does Skymont have a younger Scout program? Yes Dan ranked**the younger Scout program’s importance 7 out of 10in consideringSkymont* We did have a younger scout that went along with us. I think it is important to have a “Trail to First Class” track, to get the scout acclimated to scouting and to summer camp. So much can be accomplished in this week to really help the young scouts out. Dan rated satisfaction with the younger Scout program 9 out of 10 While not observed directly, the scout that was there and several others talked about how much fun and interesting it was. I particularly liked the idea that they were separated from the other scouts during their “time” in class. I also was impressed by the fact that they had integrated some Merit Badges into the curricula, so that they not only knocked much of the requirements out towards First Class, but also came home with three merit badges (2 Eagle Required) as well. Dan added these comments regarding the younger Scout program Does Skymont have a older Scout program? Yes Dan ranked theolder Scout program ranked 9 out of 10in considering* Skymont We allowed the scout to pick where they wanted to go to summer camp this year. The two oldest scouts picked the one we ultimately went to due to the “High Adventure” program that was offered. Obviously, it was very important to them. They sold the rest of the scouts on why, and we went. Dan rated satisfaction with the older Scout program 8 out of 10 Just the fact that their was a track for them, and that they offered in conjunction with that an off site white water rafting trip. The scouts that went loved it. Dan added these comments regarding the younger Scout program Skymont’s Merit Badge Program Dan rankedthe merit badge program8 out of 10** in considering**Skymont Summer camp has a lot to offer, but a large part is quality merit badge instructors and a good selection of merit badges. The quality part is difficult to gauge until you are there. Dan rated satisfaction with the merit badge program 8 out of 10because: For the most part. I was a little disappointed that a number of them could not be completed while there. Some of the requirements were not communicated prior as ones that would not be able to finish. That leaves us scoutmasters scrambling when we get back home to find a “certified” merit badge counselor to do the final sign off of completion. Dan added these comments regarding the merit badge program Skymont’sFacilities Dan rankedfacilities8 out of 10** in considering**Skymont Facilities are important, but summer camp is summer camp.

Dan rated satisfaction with the facilities6 out of 10because: Dan added these comments regarding the facilities – The dinning hall was great (except for a somewhat unusable milk cooler that could not keep milk from spoiling). The old metal cots and mattresses were soaked through, which made for some innovative uses of tarps to stay on a dry bed. Skymont’s Staff Dan ranked**the staff 7 out of 10 in considering**Skymont We have learned that while camp staff if very important, it changes year to year.

The boys who participated in leathercraft were able to take the vanilla leathercraft kits and make truly stunning and useful leathercrafts (mostly pocket knife holders) that they’ll treasure possibly for the rest of their lives. Then there’s Ben Delorto, who has been at the camp for the past three years. Completely cool guy – he was the leader for Mountain Man during my son’s first year, and I believe he was camp director this last year. Then there’s a bunch of guys down on the water front whose names I can’t remember. There’s a set of twins (one named Andrew), a British guy who was a Queens’ Scout who I believe the boys named Chubbles and another guy who is famous in our troop because as good as he was last year, he was in Boy’s Life since then for saving a guy from drowing on the Chattahoochie river.

Answers from Thomas about Camp Barstow in South Carolina * Thomas is a Scoutmaster * Thomas’s troop wasat Camp Barstow beginning on June 21, 2015 for seven days. * Camp Barstow is in council for Thomas * Thomas has attended Camp Barstow for 0 consecutive years, and travels approximately 46 miles one way to camp. * The troop had 14 of their 38 Scouts attending camp with 4 adults, (0 not registered Scouters). * The cost to attend Camp Barstow was $250.00 per Scout. Does Camp Barstow have a younger Scout program? Yes Thomas ranked**the younger Scout program’s importance 10 out of 10in consideringCamp Barstow* We stress that all new and younger Scouts should try to attend Summer Camp in order to get off to a great start in Scouts. The Younger Scout Programs offer a way to knock out many of the early rank requirements in Tenderfoot and 2nd Class. This gives our boys a jump start into Scouting so that we can have them on a track to earn 1st Class within 12-18 months of joining Boy Scouts. Thomas rated satisfaction with the younger Scout program 10 out of 10 The Staff at Camp Barstow selected a very mature young man to lead the Younger Scout program this year. Camp Barstow calls this the BAT program – Blaze A Trail. In the past, the BAT program had been led by older Adults that just could not relate to the boys that were mainly 10- 11 years old. The older Adults in the past did not have patience with the boys and just could not relate to “their” world. As such, the boys became bored, inattentive and quickly lost interest in what was being taught. This would lead to a spiral where the leader would become agitated and upset with the group. However, this year was VERY different. The BAT instructor this year (Patrick) was 20 years old, but quite mature. He was a great instructor, but close enough in age to the Scouts that he could “relate” to them – often talking about things like which games they enjoyed on their phones, iTouch, iPad, etc. As such, the boys created a bond with Patrick that just was not possible with the instructors from previous years. This bond and Patrick’s teaching style kept the boys attention and they REALLY enjoyed the program. In years past, the younger boys would see the older guys heading off to “fun” MB classes and they were jealous that they could not participate in those classes as well. However, our guys this year actually looked forward to spending the day with Patrick!! With this interest and focus, Patrick was actually able to accomplish more tasks & skills than was originally planned. I would hope that ALL BSA summer camps would learn from this example. These younger boys NEED someone that they can relate to in order for the Younger Scout Program to be a success. Thomas added these comments regarding the younger Scout program Does Camp Barstow have a older Scout program? Yes Thomas ranked theolder Scout program ranked 8 out of 10in considering* Camp Barstow Most all BSA camps that I am aware of offer program for the older Scouts – including a wide array of MB classes as well as a “older” Scout “high” adventure program. Camp Barstow does offer a “high adventure” program where they take War Canoes out at the beginning of Camp onto Lake Murray to spend the entire week. They canoe from island to island where the spend each night during the week as a group. Our older boys did not participate in that program this year, but they did participate in the MB programs that the camp offers. Camp Barstow offered approximately 50+ options for MB Classes this year and our boys enjoyed the Classes that they participated in. Thomas rated satisfaction with the older Scout program 5 out of 10 Thomas added these comments regarding the younger Scout program See comments above. If you are referring to the “high adventure” program – I can not speak to that since we did not have any Scouts participate in that program at Camp Barstow. However, if you are referring to the MB classes – there were plenty of options and the boys enjoyed the classes that they signed up for. Camp Barstow’s Merit Badge Program Thomas rankedthe merit badge program8 out of 10** in considering**Camp Barstow We certainly wanted a BSA Camp that offered a sufficient number of MB Classes – both Eagle required and others – to give the boys a wide range of options. Thomas rated satisfaction with the merit badge program 9 out of 10because: Camp Barstow not only offered a wide array of MB options during the normal time slots of the day, but they also offered a number of MB’s in the evenings as an option for the boys. Many of our younger Scouts in the BAT program were able to also earn some MB’s at Camp through these evening MB Classes. Thomas added these comments regarding the merit badge program Camp Barstow’sFacilities Thomas rankedfacilities7 out of 10** in considering**Camp Barstow While Scouting is an Outdoors Program, you want to have facilities at Summer Camp that are up to date and make the experience enjoyable. The Dining Hall is air-conditioned, several of the huts were of a size that met the needs of the MB Classes that were taught in them and the Camp maintains a nice number of Adirondacks for the boys. On the down side, many of the camp sites still required the Adults to have to sleep in tents. But Camp Barstow is in the process if building “Scouter” Adirondacks in all of the camp sites – these are just not yet completed. Additionally, Camp Barstow is trying to update the Shower/Bath facilities. Rather than group/open shower areas, they are up fitting campsites with private shower rooms. These new shower facilities will be a welcomed addition to the camp. Thomas rated satisfaction with the facilities7 out of 10because: With the exception of the older bath facilities, the facilities at Camp Barstow were fine. As said, the Camp is in the process of updating the bath facilities and I am sure that within the next year or two, that will be completed. Thomas added these comments regarding the facilities – Camp Barstow’s Staff Thomas ranked**the staff 8 out of 10 in considering**Camp Barstow Camp Staff is crucial for the success of any Camp. However, most camp staff is hired without the knowledge of the Troops that attend. As such, it would be difficult to actually make a decision to attend a camp based on knowledge of the Camp Staff and who will be doing what. Camp Barstow hired a new Director for the Camp this year and we were aware of this new hire. However, there was no information available about the Director’s experience at running a BSA Camp. With all that said, we were extremely pleased with the Staff at Camp this year. The Camp did an excellent job of placing the right people in the correct positions to make the camp running efficiently, while also making the experience enjoyable. Thomas rated satisfaction with the staff10 out of 10because: Great camp staff at Camp Barstow this year. I would give the highest accolades to the choice that they made for the Young Scout Program (Blaze A Trail – BAT program). The instructor for BAT, Patrick, was fantastic!!! Additionally, we had some boys with some severe food related issues and the Dining Hall / Cook Staff went to great lengths to meet all of our Dietary needs – top rating to those guys. The Medical Staff was extremely helpful and made it easy for Campers that had medical needs – Medicines to take – very easy to accomplish without a lot of hassle or feeling “identified” for their medical issues. Merit Badge Classes were also very well staffed. After camp, I had the need to contact the Swim Instructor about another child that was not able to attend camp this year, but needed to complete the BSA Swim Test. She was extremely helpful – despite the fact that she was already back to her normal job. She assisted in helping us coordinate the Swim test for this Scout. That type of dedication to the Scouting program was very evident in all of the Staff this year. One more example, the Adult that led the Shooting Sports program this year assisted one of our Scouts in completing his Archery MB that was a partial from another camp the year before. Additionally, the instructors worked with the Scout to complete his Shotgun MB during his free time at camp in addition to the Rifle MB class that he was signed up to complete during the normal schedule. These instructors were top notch this year and really made our experience one of the best ever!!! Thomas added these comments regarding the staff –

Does Horseshoe have a younger Scout program? Yes Barry ranked**the younger Scout program’s importance 1 out of 10in consideringHorseshoe* We’ve been to many summer camps, and I’ve found that younger scout programs are very inconsistent and a repeat of items and skills that our scouts have already learned. I’ve opted to give younger scouts freedom to explore and learn new things on their own (with some gentle guidance on merit badge selection and preparation to attend camp). Barry rated satisfaction with the younger Scout program out of 10 Barry added these comments regarding the younger Scout program Does Horseshoe have a older Scout program? Yes Barry ranked theolder Scout program ranked 1 out of 10in considering* Horseshoe We let the scouts decide what they want to do, but don’t choose a camp based on an older scout program or not. Most scouts attend summer camp to have fun and get their merit badges. Where there have been older scout programs, I find that scouts don’t always take advantage of them. I think camps should learn to present the opportunities directly to scouts (maybe camp is a bit more than merit badges).

For most Older Boys … that have been to a Scout Camp for two to three years they are for the most part done with being a camper at a Scout Camp. Most “Older” boy programs are offered at summer camps are an after thought opposed to a dynamic experience. Steve rated satisfaction with the older Scout program out of 10 Steve added these comments regarding the younger Scout program Camp Hi-Sierra’s Merit Badge Program Steve rankedthe merit badge program9 out of 10** in considering**Camp Hi-Sierra Summer camp is one of the few environments where some outdoor merit badges can be earned. Additionally it is often a rare environment where some of the more unique merit badges can be staged. Steve rated satisfaction with the merit badge program 2 out of 10because: Was very put off by the Merit Badge Program from the onset. While though we were bringing one of the largest groups to the camp… we found that the system of sign ups prevented nearly all of our Scouts from getting any of their selections. The response from the managing Professionals and Key Camp personnel amounted to a big “Oh Well thats the way it is done here. It was only with push back that we even got any accommodation toward the critical needs of some of our scouts. In addition it became real apparent from the shear volume of merit badge the scouts did end up “Earning” that the camp is a merit badge factory. Some merit badges could be done on a drop in basis. The record time for “Earning” a merit badge was ten minutes … from arrival to signed blue card for Art Merit Badge. Very very disappointed in the quality of instruction that was being condoned.. Steve added these comments regarding the merit badge program Camp Hi-Sierra’sFacilities Steve rankedfacilities5 out of 10** in considering**Camp Hi-Sierra Steve rated satisfaction with the facilities2 out of 10because: While the camp does provide Wall Tents and platforms no where in the documentation was there disclosure that there were no Cots. Having visited the camp in the off season … observations lead to the conclusion that cots were provided (walked around and saw cots scans pads… in some of the camp sites. Made the erroneous assumption that the rest of the cots and mattresses were stored for the winter.) In addition the shower facilities were way deficient for the size of the camp. There was only one shower house and of the ten plus shower heads only two actually provided a stream of water that could be described as a shower. The rest were no better than a drip. This caused back ups and dissatisfaction from the Scouts Having visited the camp in the off season … was dismayed to see the same refuse stacked up in the main part of camp that had been there in the winter. It was real clear that maintenance and aesthetics of the camp were not a priority of the Camp Rangers who also was a bit of a contentious individual. Steve added these comments regarding the facilities – Camp Hi-Sierra’s Staff Steve ranked**the staff 2 out of 10 in considering**Camp Hi-Sierra Summer camp staff is an unknown quantity. It is impossible to judge from one year to the next what the staff attitude and ability is going to be. While a poor reputation of the Staff might diminish a camp from choice it is not a sought out factor in selection.

A couple of Staff members stand out for their willingness to go beyond the Job.

We have found that new Scout programs are mediocre at best, and so poor at our FL camps we have had to do our own. Most first year programs have too many Scouts and not enough time for hands on learning. Ex: Instructor shows how to use an axe, four of twelve Scouts get a chance to try it, and time runs out and the group is on to the next requirement. No wonder the trading post is the most fun… CDB is one of the finest camps in BSA. Yet as I walked past the new Scout program, a counselor was leading a color guard of twenty Scouts as forty more watched.

David rated satisfaction with the younger Scout program 8 out of 10 It was well organized and covered a majority of the Tenderfoot, 2nd, and 1st Class requirements. The staff was knowledgeable and presented a good program.

A good merit badge program gives our scouts the opportunity to work on Eagle required merit badges that can be tough to do or at least start in non summer camp environments. Also, summer camps can offer a wider range of merit badge topics than our troop can, so this is an opportunity for our scouts to explore and enjoy all that merit badges have to offer. David rated satisfaction with the merit badge program 7 out of 10because: There were some excellent merit badge opportunities (nature studies related merit badges stand out as their facility and program in this area was excellent).
