​New Activities
  • Advanced Welding – a 90-minuted welding classed for Scouts who already have Welding Merit Badge. It focuses on flat, horizontal, and diagonal welding and exposes Scouts to stick welding.
  • Leadership Challenge - The Leadership Challenge is a Scouting program that includes group initiative games, trust events, and challenges that reach from the ground to the sky. The Leadership Challenge will let you climb, swing, balance, jump, rappel, problem-solve, and become stronger both as individuals and as a team. Are you ready? Then climb on! Senior patrol leaders and youth leaders are the target audience.
  • STEM NOVA Award: Start Your Engines! – designed to help Scouts explore how technology affects our daily life. As a culminating activity, Scouts build a model vehicle not from a kit that is propelled by solar, wind, or battery power.
  • Challenge Instructor Course – open to adults and older youth. Certifies adults to be the second qualified, trained adult required for unit climbing events at the CSR tower and for unit COPE weekends. Provides Scouts with an instructor-in-training card.
​
​Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS)
  • We will offer IOLS for adult leaders during summer camp.
  • There is an additional cost of $30.
  • See the training matrix for the IOLS schedule. 

Honor Camper Award
  • Each unit is entitled to nominate ONE of its campers as their honor camper.
  • The criteria for this award are determined entirely by the unit leadership.
  • Honor Campers are recognized at the Friday night closing campfire with a commemorative medal.​

Payments and Merit Badge Registration
  • The preferred method of payment will be online through the merit badge registration system – Summer Camp Systems.
  • You will still be able to make payments via the mail and face-to-face.
  • We will no longer accept credit card payments over the phone.
  • Parents/caretakers will be able to pay for their Scouts using the online merit badge registration system.
  • Parents/caretakers will need to know their Scout’s BSA ID to make an online payment.
  • After the early bird deadline has passed, once a unit has paid Payment 1 for at least 60% of its Scouts, we will grant them access to the merit badge registration system.

Construction Update
  • We are building 38 adirondacks this winter which brings the total number of adirondacks in camp to 115.
  • We continue to make headway with our community partners to increase the amount internet available within camp.
  • The Trade Skills Shop and STEM Lab will be complete this summer. This new building will feature two STEM classrooms, a woodworking shop, a mechanics garage, and a welding shop.
  • Due to damage from Hurricane Michael, we must rebuild the shelter in Saura Campsite. Plans call for a much larger shelter to be built in its place.
  • The council ring will receive a face lift this spring with a new lighted concrete center aisle with a handrail.
