  • The most heavily attended station will be KNOTS AND LASHINGS, which will cover two Tenderfoot requirements and four First Class requirements.

    • For more hike information, click here  Trailhead Hike is canceled this year.
  • The FIRST AID station will cover two Tenderfoot requirements, three Second Class requirements and three First Class requirements. 
  • The FLAG FOLDING/RAISING station, which also including a visit with a community leader, will see scouts complete all or some of the two Tenderfoot requirements and one First Class requirement. 
     
  • At the MISCELLANEOUS station scouts need to identify 10 kinds of wild animals. For scouts who prefer to identify 10 kinds of plants, we will take them on a nature hike so they can complete those requirements. 
  • At TRAILHEAD SWIM, we will travel off site from the Bus Stop. Trailhead swim is not an instructional program but will verify your ability to swim. 

  • An adult troop leader must accompany all scouts working on swimming tests for Second or First class at the swimming pool.

  • We will hold two sessions in the morning and the afternoon dealing with KNIVES AND AXES, where the scouts can earn their Totin' Chip cards.                 
  • Trailhead Volunteers will teach the skills and provide a spreadsheet of the taught skills related to requirements, but troop leadership is responsible for signing off the accomplishment in the Scout's handbook.”

  • Scoutmasters are requested to be available for Scoutmaster conferences for their Scouts, either during the camp or as soon as possible after camp.
