3 Welcome from the Camp Director On behalf of the entire Dietler Camp Staff, I would like to thank you and your unit for choosing to attend the Webelos Extreme Scouting Trek (W.E.S.T) at Camp Dietler for the 2019 summer season. Patrol camping at Camp Dietler is one of the signature components of the Denver Area Council s camping program, and we are incredibly excited that you and your Webelos will be a part of that ongoing tradition. This short guide outlines what Camp Dietler has to offer, and what you and your Webelos can expect to get out of your time here. Please note, however, that this guide focuses only on Dietler-specific items; such as facilities, activities, and other programs. For topics applicable to all of Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch including ranchwide policies you will need to also consult the PV and TH Leader s Guide which can be found online at Across these two documents, you will find everything you need to know in order to be fully prepared for your 2019 Summer Camp experience. For those of you who are new to Camp Dietler, we hope that we can provide you with a unique and exciting summer camp experience that you and your Webelos will remember for years to come. For those of you who have been to Dietler in the past, we re glad to have you back, and hope to provide an even better experience than in previous years! For the 2019 summer camp season, we have many new and exciting upgrades to our camp programs. We ve added new Webelos activities and improved existing ones, all while offering an incredible patrol-based camping experience. We have expanded upon the great success of the Webelos Extreme Scouting Trek (W.E.S.T.) program. Because of its growth and popularity, we will be offering Webelos camping opportunities at the same time as Scouts BSA camping. This gives Webelos the opportunity to experience Scouts BSA camping; and gives older Scouts the chance to share their experiences with others. Though Webelos and Scouts BSA program activities will remain separate, we look forward to seeing Scouts of all ages taking part in the unique Camp Dietler experience. Once again, thank you for your interest in Camp Dietler. We hope that you and your Webelos are as excited as we are for the greatest season of Summer Camp ever. We will be in contact with you as the Summer Camp season approaches. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns of any kind, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us. We are happy to answer any and all questions! Yours in Scouting, Jacob Morris Camp Director Jacob.Morris@Scouting.org Page 3 of 19

4 Welcome from the Program Director X WEST Participant March 2019 Dear Friend, I need your help! I have spent many years wandering these woods, and there have been some strange occurrences recently. Rumors of a tall, hairy beast wandering around have surfaced. Though I have not seen this creature, evidence of its existence is leaving more questions to be asked than answered. This is where you come in. I am inviting you to join the Georgetown Division of the Dietler Rangers to help us prove (or disprove) the existence of this creature! Your scouting skills have gotten you this far, and that makes you the perfect candidate for joining this elite team as we search for the infamous Bigfoot! Hope to see you there, future Ranger! Yours Truly, Ranger Chais, Chief of the Georgetown Division Send Question telegrams to Chais.Matekovic@Scouting.org Additional Camping Department Contacts: Camp Dietler: Peaceful Valley Office: (June and July only) Peaceful.Valley@Scouting.org N.

5 Welcome to Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch! Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch is located in central Colorado, 65 miles southeast of Denver, a few miles south of the town of Elbert. The Ranch consists of 3,316 acres of mountain park terrain, 7,000 feet in elevation, along the Palmer Divide in the Black Forest. Peaceful Valley also functions as a working ranch throughout the year, with over 1,000 acres devoted to farming and grazing. There are four different Scout camps located on Peaceful Valley: Magness Adventure Camp, Webelos Extreme Scouting Trek (W.E.S.T.), Camp Cris Dobbins, and Camp Dietler. Camp Dietler Camp Dietler has six unique campsites which are divided into three different Mining Districts. The Georgetown campsites, Independence and Summitville are reserved for the W.E.S.T. program (Webelos Extreme Scouting Trek) and are generally unavailable for Scouts BSA Troops. Georgetown Mining District: Summitville (30) Independence (40) The camp is centered around the Commissary or the Comm as known by many. The Commissary is the heart and soul of Camp Dietler. For both Scouts and leaders, this building is the central hub from which the rest of camp relies on. The Commissary is also the home of the Ship Rock Mercantile, where Scouts and adults can purchase merit badge kits, souvenirs, snacks, and more. We suggest bringing $50-$100 per Scout to spend on snacks, class fees and souvenirs. Finally, the Commissary is home to Camp Dietler s main office; where you can meet with members of the Dietler Staff to address any questions or concerns. Adult leaders will be able to leave items such as cell phones to be charged. This is also where merit badge records including mid-week progress reports will be made available. The Health Yurt is also steps away from the Commissary for those that need it. Your unit will be assigned a campsite based on a number of factors, including size of unit, registration priority, and time of registration. Camp Dietler has a limited number of campsites, so most will be shared among multiple units each week. Please note that while every effort will be made to place you in your desired campsite, this is not always possible. At check-in, you will receive your finalized campsite assignment. *The Camp Director reserves the right to move units to different campsites based upon the needs of the camp. Page 5 of 19

6 Campsites and Equipment at Camp Dietler Campsite Facilities Each campsite is equipped with latrine that has hot showers, a sink with running water and vault latrines. Units are responsible for the cleanliness of the campsite and latrine (remember, a Scout is clean) so we provide cleaning supplies in the latrine. Each unit is responsible for establishing a shower schedule following Youth Protection guidelines. A sample shower scheduling chart is included in this guide for your use. Each campsite also includes picnic tables, a dining fly and patrol boxes for cooking. Campsites have ample amounts of level ground to pitch tents. Please make sure you follow Leave No Trace principals when setting up the campsite. Equipment Provided by Camp Dining Fly (1 per patrol) Propane tank and tree (1 per patrol) Propane Stoves (2 per patrol) Cooking table (1 per patrol) Patrol Box - contains utensils, pots, pitchers, griddle, and other cooking gear Patrol Supplies - paper towels, cooking oil, dish soap, matches, trash bags, aluminum foil, nonstick spray, scouring pads, etc. Food staples/condiments - Bread, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Salt & Pepper, Mustard, Ketchup, etc. Dutch ovens* (Subject to current fire ban status) Hot pads (1 set per patrol) Staple Bucket and Frame for food pickup (1 per patrol) Trash Can (1 per patrol) Propane Lantern (1 per patrol) Optional Equipment Available to Check Out Camp Dietler has additional equipment that can be checked out for use by units. This equipment is available to check out from the Commissary. Most items are available at no charge, though applicable damage/replacement fees may apply. Items that are available for checkout include: Tarps, Backpacks, etc. Dome tents are available to rent at a rate of $15/tent. Each tent can fit two participants. To reserve equipment, please the Camp Director, Jacob Morris at Jacob.Morris@Scouting.org Leader s Guide Have you read the Peaceful Valley and Tahosa High Adventure Base Leader s Guide? It contains helpful information about registration and policies. Most information for Webelos Extreme Scouting Trek can be found in this Program Guide, but it is helpful to review the Leader s Guide prior to camp. The Leader s Guide can be found at Page 6 of 19

7 Food and Cooking at Camp Dietler Patrol Cooking One of the key components of Dietler s dedication to teaching the patrol method is for Scouts to work together to cook their own meals. A few meals are prepared by the Dietler Camp Staff, but Scouts are responsible for preparing and cooking the majority of their own meals. Cooking is a major teambuilding opportunity, as well as an important life skill; the Dietler Staff is dedicated to supervising and guiding Scouts to create meals that are absolutely delicious! Before each meal, patrols send Scouts to the well house area to pick up food. Being on time for food pickup is critical in order to avoid delays in preparing meals. Scouts back in camp can work on preliminary kitchen set up while this is happening. Members of the Dietler Staff will be eating with patrols for the majority meals, so Scouts will have full staff supervision. Each Scout will have the opportunity to be the leader of the meal. Camp staff are there to help supervise and guide this process. Adults are encouraged to provide guidance, but not take control of the meal. Adults staying at camp are encouraged to eat with the patrols, and fully experience the food prepared by their Scouts. Some units choose to rotate their adults through patrols, so that everyone gets a chance to try each patrol s cooking. Mess kits are not provided by Camp Dietler for any meal. It is the responsibility of the Scout or adult to have their own eating gear for all meals, including those prepared by staff. Stay Hydrated at Camp! Participation at Camp Dietler involves a lot of walking, and the summers in Colorado can get hot! Keeping hydrated is 100% critical to ensure that you will have a good time. Please start the hydration process at home! Drink adequate water for at least 2 days before your camp session! This will make it much easier to stay hydrated when you get here and minimize the terrible symptoms of dehydration and altitude sickness. Lost and Found The lost and found is at the Commissary. If you find anything, please turn it in at the Commissary or give it to a staff member. Remember to check the Lost and Found before you leave camp! Any items remaining after September 1, 2019 will be donated. Trash Please bring your campsite trash to the Commissary by 10 pm daily. Please do not leave trash in your campsite overnight.

8 Guiding Principles of the Denver Area Council Boy Scouts of America Mission Statement The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Boy Scouts of America Vision Statement The Boy Scouts of America will prepare every eligible youth in America to become a responsible, participating citizen and leader who is guided by the Scout Oath and Law. Denver Area Council Camping Mission Statement The mission of the Denver Area Council summer camping program is to provide each Scout with a memorable and challenging outdoor experience. DAC camps enriches the fundamentals of Scouting through unique opportunities for leadership and educational growth. Cub Scouting Purposes Character Development, Spiritual Growth, Good Citizenship, Sportsmanship and Fitness, Family Understanding, Respectful Relationships, Personal Achievement, Friendly Service, Fun and Adventure, Preparation for Scouts BSA. The Scout Oath & Law These principles have served Scouting well for over 100 years. They are the basis for everything we do at camp, and we ask that you help your Scouts and leaders use these as a guide in camp. Scout Oath On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. Scout Law A Scout is: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent Scouting 10 Essentials First Aid Kit Extra Clothing Rain Gear Water Flashlight Trail Food Sun Protection Map & Compass Pocket Knife* *At Unit Leader Discretion All Scouts and leaders attending Denver Area Council camps need to be prepared! Scouts and leaders must bring a daypack that is large enough to carry the 10 Essentials while in camp. The 10 Essentials should be carried at all times since you never know when the weather may change or an emergency will occur. If an emergency occurs at one of our camps (Lockout, Lockdown, Evacuate Area or Shelter) your day pack will most likely be the only thing you have or can bring. For this, all Scouts and leaders will be required to have their 10 Essentials with them at all times. In addition, adult leaders should also have in their daypack; their wallet, identification, cell phone/charger, car keys, and their personal medications. The Unit leader should also include a unit roster in their daypack. It is the responsibility of the unit s adult leaders to ensure that everyone in their unit have the necessary equipment with them.

17 Program Adventures Adventure Valley Explore one of the hallmarks of Camp Dietler: Adventure Valley. AV is chock-full of exciting teambuilding activities like rope walks, puzzles, games, and more! Archery Test your archery skills at Camp Dietler s field archery range! Take aim at increasingly difficult targets and experience our elevated shooting gallery. BB Gun Shooting Take aim and practice your marksmanship at our brand-new BB gun gallery. Canoeing Explore Silver Lake in a canoe! Boating is a special summer pastime, and Webelos will learn about Scouts BSA Safety Afloat guidelines and proper boating technique. Dessert Cook-Off Which patrol can make the tastiest dessert with only a few, preselected ingredients? Put your chef hat on, because this is a Chopped-style battle of wits, skill, and presentation. Metalworking Camp Dietler is unique among summer camps in Colorado, as it features a working forge with a dedicated staff ready to teach you the fundamentals of metalworking! Pioneering Webelos will learn knots and lashings to create structures. Need a flagpole for your patrol flag? Need a tripod to suspend a weather rock? No worries, for the Webelos will be log and rope engineers in no time. Rappelling Webelos will learn about safe climbing and take the ultimate plunge into Dietler s crevices! Millenia of erosion have created this unique landmark that is perfect for rappelling. Do you have what it takes to go over the edge? Wilderness Survival A favorite merit badge for many Scouts, Webelos will learn about basic survival skills including water purification and navigation. Scouts will also have the opportunity to construct shelters with whatever they can find in the forest. The order in which these activities are completed throughout the session will be determined by Scouts and leaders preferences, but many are contingent upon the weather. We strive to make sure that Scouts experience all that Camp Dietler has to offer, but safety will always be front-of-mind and we cannot guarantee that all of the above activities will be available.

18 Evening Programs: Day 1- Bigfoot Briefing Campfire Welcome to the Georgetown Division of the Dietler Rangers! We are so happy you came to join us in the search for Bigfoot. After you ve worked with your patrols and enjoyed a delicious dinner, we will head to a remote location to update you on all the clues we ve gathered, rumors we ve heard, and strategies as we prepare to search! Day 2- Squatching Skills Day 3- Field Operation: Bigfoot Tonight we will cover various requirements for Squatching skills, various requirements for Webelos & Arrow of Light pins, as you search for clues around camp with your patrols! Bigfoot has been spotted east of Georgetown, in a place called Cortlandt City. Late last night a stockpile of marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate were found in a cave by campers just on the outskirts of town. Before the curious campers could venture in any further, they were chased off by a large beast! It will be a great time to test our s mores theory. Hopefully the smell of toasted marshmallows and melting chocolate will be enough to lure Bigfoot into town! We will have to endure the unfortunate task of eating them as we do NOT want to attract bears. While we wait for Bigfoot to visit, there are plenty of great things to do in town. You can get Root Beer from the Saloon, compete against staff, and much more! Page 18 of 19
