It has provided a necessary, final check on the Scout's physical fitness for camp and has been an important deterrent to the spread of any infectious or communica ble disease. It has been apparent that this " Health Check" at camp resulted, in some cases , in hardship , disappoint ment and inconvenie nce to the Scout, his Leaders and parents when the inspection discovered a physical condition which made it necessary to refuse him admittance to camp and to require his return to his home. Every one attending Summer Camp is required to have a medical examination before coming to Camp . Medical Blanks # 4126 are available at the Scout office. The Health and Safety Committee recommen ds that all who attend Camp have the following shots : Typhoid, Tetanus, and Polio. EQUIPMENT All troops at Cherokee will be issued the following: 1-10x10 dining fly for cooking ; 1-12x16 dining fly for eating area (with ridge pole and uprights); 1-patrol trail chef per 10 boys ; 1-dutch oven per patrol ; 1-rake and broom per site ; 1- igloo per site ; 1-ax per site; 3wash tubs per site ; 2-dip bags per site ; 4-scrub brushes per site. All troops at main camp will be issued the following: Lanterns- 2 (1 for campsite; 1 for latrine); Broom-1; Rake- 1.

Then, too, they should understand that all Merit Badges cannot be completed at summer camp because of the nature of various requirements. Unit leaders should caution their boys to either carry out these requirements before arrival at camp (bringing with them sufficient evidence of completion of their work) or to complete their work after their return home.

Normally, many units hold this election prior to their district camporees for their candidates to be tapped out at their camporee. Should you desire to hold this election at Summer Camp, it is advised that you notify your district Chapter Advisor or District C&A Chairman two weeks before your unit arrives at Camp, so that these candidates can be elected and tapped-out at the Friday night campfire. Remember-ho wever, that at least 50% of the troop's membership must be in attendance before an election can be held. In cases where the Unit's leader cannot be with his Troop at Summer Camp, the leader that is in charge must be informed as to whether they have already had their ONE election per calendar year. Some units may have boys that have already been elected, but not yet tapped-out. At Camp this can be carried out if the Unit Leader notifies their Chapter Advisor two weeks before he arrives at camp. 12 �STEPS IN PLANNING THE TROOP PROGRAM 1. Determine what the scouts need in camp: On an individual basis, review with each Scout his camp objectives. Use Planning Sheet on pages 14 & 15 to assist you. 2. Find out what the boys want: Give each Scout an opportunity to express his ideas for both patrol and troop activity. Let the Patrol Leaders' Council serve as a review ing committee. 3. Write program on paper: After you know what each boy wants and must have, fill out a rough draft, in pencil, on pages 14 and 15 of this booklet. Be sure to keep each boy busy, but don't over-schedule. Leave some free time for hiking , handicraft, scout· craft, study and practice . 4. Sunday night program planning: Finalize hourly scheduling at this important meeting . 5. Organization is key-right way: Organize your Scouts into the best patrol operating troop possible, with each patrol having a Patrol Leader, etc. Follow the Scoutmaster's handbook on troop operation and organization. 6. Make your plans known: Hold a parents' night and dramatically present your camp objective to the parents and institution. Each unit's program will be different because its needs and interests are different. There are four general patterns within the unit program that should be in evidence: 1. Activities. in which all members of the unit participate together. 2. Activities that are best carried out on a patrol basis. 3. Informal activities more suitable for a few boys to do together. 4. Special interests a boy might follow on his own. Typical troop or unit-centered activities: 1. Scoutcraft instruction . 2. Ceremonies. 3. Advancement activities. 4. Campfires. 5. Camp inspection . 13 �., SUMMER CAMP DATE SUNDAY First Coif 6:30 - Reveille 7:00 - TROOP MONDAY Waiters Coll 7: 15 TUESDAY Breokfosf and Flog Raising l:Y ' I I I 9:00 I I 10:00 11 :00 Wa iters Coll 12:15-Lunch 12:30-Rest Period 1:00 'ti/ 2:00 2:00 3:00 4:00 Waiters Coif 5:45 - Dinner 6:00 - 7:30 PROGRAM PLANNING 7:30 Song-fest Church Coif 9:15 - Tops 9:30 Ii Vesper Song -fest . �PIOGRAM SCHEDULE LEADER fAT ROL - NESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY :et Troop Site in Order 8:00 to 9:00 ADVENTURE TRAIL 1 :30 'tll 3 :00 WATER CARNIVAL t UNIT 3:30 'tll 5:00 COOK OUT ~ .. ~ I DINNER TO BE ANNOUNCED Campfire Camp-wide Scout Leaders Fellowship SATURDAY �r -z ~)>Cl ~ !': < r Z )> ,.., ,.., CJ) Ro == ~ = --3 = ;;.... = C"!I l:'l'!I ; ::; :; :;; :;: :;; ~ :: 0 ...

It has provided a necessary, final check on the Scout's ph ysical fitness for camp and has been an important deterrent to the spread of any infectious or communicable disease. It has been apparent that this " Health Check" at camp resulted, in some cases , in hardship , disappointment and inconvenience to the Scout, his Leaders and parents when the inspection discovered a physical condition which made it necessary to refuse him admittance to camp and to require his return to his home. Every one attending Summer Camp is required to have a medical examination before coming to Camp . Medical Blanks # 4126 are available at the Scout office. The Health and Safety Committee recommends that all who attend Camp have the following shots : Typhoid, Tetanus, and Polio.

Then, too, they should understand that all Merit Badges cannot be completed at summer camp because of the nature of various requirements. Unit leaders should caution their boys to either carry out these requirements before arrival at camp (bringing with them sufficient evidence of completion of their work) or to complete their work after their return home.

ORDER OF THE ARROW ELECTIONS Your unit has the privilege of holding only ONE election for candidates for the Order of the Arrow per calendar year. Normally, many units hold this election prior to their district camporees for their candidates to be tapped out at their camporee. Should you desire to hold this election at Summer Camp, it is advised that you notify your district Chapter Advisor or District C&A Chairman two weeks before your unit arrives at Camp, so that these candidates can be elected and tapped-out at the Friday night campfire. Remember-however, that at least 50% of the troop's membership must be in attendance before an election can be held. In cases where the Unit's leader cannot be with his Troop at Summer Camp, the leader that is in charge must be informed as to whether they have already had their ONE election per calendar year. Some units may have boys that have already been elected, but not yet tapped-out. At Camp this can be carried out if the Unit Leader notifies their Chapter Advisor two weeks before he arrives at camp. 12 STEPS IN PLANNING THE TROOP PROGRAM 1. Determine what the scouts need in camp: On an individual basis, review with each Scout his camp objectives. Use Planning Sheet on pages 14 & 15 to assist you. 2. Find out what the boys want: Give each Scout an opportunity to express his ideas for both patrol and troop activity. Let the Patrol Leaders' Council serve as a review ing committee. 3. Write program on paper: After you know what each boy wants and must have, fill out a rough draft, in pencil, on pages 14 and 15 of this booklet. Be sure to keep each boy busy, but don't over-schedule. Leave some free time for hiking , handicraft, scout· craft, study and practice . 4. Sunday night program planning: Finalize hourly scheduling at this important meeting . 5. Organization is key-right way: Organize your Scouts into the best patrol operating troop possible, with each patrol having a Patrol Leader, etc. Follow the Scoutmaster's handbook on troop operation and organization. 6. Make your plans known: Hold a parents' night and dramatically present your camp objective to the parents and institution. Each unit's program will be different because its needs and interests are different. There are four general patterns within the unit program that should be in evidence: 1. Activities. in which all members of the unit participate together. 2. Activities that are best carried out on a patrol basis. 3. Informal activities more suitable for a few boys to do together. 4. Special interests a boy might follow on his own. Typical troop or unit-centered activities: 1. Scoutcraft instruction . 2. Ceremonies. 3. Advancement activities. 4. Campfires. 5. Camp inspection . 13 ., SUMMER CAMP DATE TROOP SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY First Coif 6:30 - Reveille 7 :00 - Waiters Coll 7: 15 Br eokfosf and Flog Raising l:Y ' I I 9:00 I I I 10:00 11 :00 Wa iters Coll 12:15-Lunch 12:30-Rest Per iod 1:00 'ti/ 2:00 2:00 3:00 4:00 Waiters Coif 5:45 - Dinner 6:00 - Church Coif 9:15 - Tops 9 :30 Ii 7 :30 PROGRAM PLANNING Vesper Song-fest 7 :30 Song-fest . - PIOGRAM SCHEDULE fAT ROL LEADER - NESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY :et Troop Site in Order 8:00 to 9 :00 ADVENTURE TRAIL 1 :30 'tll 3 :00 WATER CARNIVAL t UNIT 3:30 'tll 5:00 COOK OUT ~ DINNER TO BE ANNOUNCED Campfire Camp-wide ~ Scout Leaders ..
