3 Firelands Scout Reservation Gore Orphanage Rd. Wakeman, OH YEAR ROUND: (440) SUMMER: (440) Dear Valued Unit Leader and Adults: On behalf of the Heart of Ohio Council and Firelands Scout Reservation, we are excited that you have chosen Firelands Scout Reservation for your 2015 Summer Camp destination. Thank you! First let me introduce myself. My name is Laura Lyster and I have been selected to be the Reservation Director for Firelands Scout Reservation. This is my fourth year on Camp Staff. I began my employment at Camp Wyandot as Camp Photographer and then Office Manager. Last year I was the Camp Director for Camp Avery Hand Cub Resident Camp. This summer I will be overseeing the operations of both Camp Avery Hand and Camp Wyandot in place of two camp directors. I have been a volunteer for 28 years and have four Eagle Scout sons. Scouting has been a way of life for me. Firelands is very special and I look forward to meeting everyone and working with you this coming summer. The 2015 season brings some exciting changes and additions. First, an outside catering company has been secured to provide meal service to the entire reservation. Secondly, 50 tents at Camp Wyandot have been replaced with new tents. Every Friday, the Senior Patrol Leaders and Assistant Patrol Leaders will be treated to a special lunch so they have time to share their experiences at Camp Wyandot with senior management (much like the Thursday night Scoutmaster dinner). We have some new merit badges to offer in addition to rotating some merit badges. There is a good mixture of new and returning staff to bring a quality program to Camp Wyandot. Attending summer camp is such a special experience for youth and adults alike. A week outdoors at Firelands Scout Reservation provides time for fellowship, learning new skills, meeting new people, developing character, growing in leadership, learning responsibility, living with others, creating a deeper bond with the members of the troop, creating life-long memories and most of all having fun. The staff and I want to make this summer a positive experience. Hopefully, the fun that we re having is infectious and Scouts will leave wanting to come back for more or even wanting to be part of the staff in future years. We hope even the adult leadership might consider coming back to help for a week or two or even the entire season. Several years ago I came to visit for a few days and now find myself infected with that special spirit of Scouting that exists at this camp, wanting to share and help others feel it too. If anyone has any special needs requests, please complete the form in this guide and return to me via or to the Heart of Ohio Council office no later than June 1. Should you have any questions or need to contact us for any reason my address is llyster@heartofohiocouncil.org. I look forward to meeting everyone at the Pre-Camp Leader s breakfast on March 28, 2015 at the Camp Avery Hand Dining Hall and also at camp this summer. Please don t hesitate to contact me or seek me out at camp if you have questions, etc. Yours in Scouting, Laura R. Lyster Laura R. Lyster FSR-Reservation Director llyster@heartofohiocouncil.org

4 Firelands Scout Reservation Gore Orphanage Rd. Wakeman, OH YEAR ROUND: (440) SUMMER: (440) As I write this old man winter has moved right in, brrrr. But if you reach out to your mind s eye, we can take a journey to another place. Think of a sunny day, middle of the summer and you have arrived at camp. The first thing that you notice are the sounds of laughter, shouts, calls and the noise of lots of people having fun at games and activities. You start your walk to the office and soon you can hear some more specific sounds. You hear the loud plop of the blob and the telltale shout of surprise as a scout is launched. You hear scouts swimming, diving, and jumping enjoying themselves in the lake. If you listen closely you hear the bump of a paddle on a canoe and you realize some of the shouts and enjoyment are scouts boating as well. As you walk into camp you hear a game being played in the field. A shout of On Belay comes from the tower as does the familiar ZIP of the zip line as a scout hurls towards the bottom. You also hear, pop, pop, pop, with the occasional BANG, thrown in for good measure as the shotguns and rifle shooters attempt to hit their targets. Your nose also knows you are at camp. You smell campfires. The light scent of wood smoke drifts on the breeze and you are sure that you can feel its warmth and taste the s mores. You also smell fresh cut grass and the forest. Trees, leaves, and other smells that tell you that you are in the wilderness. You also see many things. You see the lake and dining hall. The COPE tower stretches above. As you look around you also see lots of wildlife. Mainly birds, but plenty of insects and small animals as well. Mostly you see other scouts. They are as varied as they things that they are doing. One thing that is common to them all, are the smiles because they are engaged in something that they enjoy. Some are very active, climbing, running, and swimming, some are just sitting and enjoying a slushy. Can you picture it? This little peek into summer makes me excited for the new camping season. I can hardly wait for it to get here. I am excited to do new things as well as do those things that I always do. I cannot wait for the opening campfire and wish summer was here tomorrow. I love to go to camp and this year is already shaping up to be one of the best. As the Camping Committee Chair I get a sneak peek into what the summer program will be like and it will be awesome. We have a returning staffer serving as the new reservation director, and she is super excited. She has been working on hiring staff and the summer program. There will be some great staff returning and some great staff new to the group. There are new programs and many of the familiar things that make camp, CAMP. There will be merit badges to be earned, Wyandot awards achieved, campfires experienced, family night fun, OA Callouts, Brotherhood ceremonies,.22 and shotgun shooting, archery targets pierced, gadgets built at Scoutcraft, new scouts learning at Trailblazers, critters crawling and insects buzzing at Eco/Con and maybe a slushy or two to be had. Are you coming to camp? I won t miss it and I look forward to seeing you there too. We are going to have lots of fun, certainly a summer to remember. Yours in Scouting, Steve Wyant Steve Wyant Council Camping Committee Chair

5 HIGHLIGHTS Camp Management - The position of Camp Director for both Camp Wyandot and Camp Avery Hand has been changed to a Reservation Director. Laura Lyster, 2014 Camp Avery Hand Camp Director, has been selected to be the Reservation Director. She comes to us with 28 years of experience in the Boy Scout program serving in several different leadership positions. She is a Council Trainer for Michigan Crossroads Council and is both Cub Scout and Boy Scout Wood Badge trained and a Vigil member of the Order of the Arrow. Scouting is a way of life for her. She brings much love and enthusiasm for the program. Adult Leader Training Area (Turtle Clan) - Turtle Clan is an area provided to adults, away from Scouts, where they may learn basic Scouting skills, leader skills, program planning and recommended Scout leader training. It provides an area where new leaders may go to discuss problems and situations that new leaders encounter with leaders of all levels in camp. These forums will be scheduled so that they may also have leaders supervising their Scouts. (Take advantage of the Scoutmaster cooking competition to develop a summer camp cookbook.) This provide leaders with materials that they may take back with them on all topics. Online Registration for Merit Badges & Trailblazer Sessions - Our summer camp program will once again be using our online registration program to register your Scouts for merit badges or trailblazer sessions. All Scouts will need to be pre-registered for classes prior to camp. Our class sizes will be limited in 2015 to offer the best instruction. Due diligence is necessary for Scouts to understand the prerequisites required for each merit badge (visit the council s website at If you need assistance with the online registration process for merit badges or trailblazers, the staff at the Heart of Ohio Service Center will be available by phone and to answer questions and assist your troop. Two hour merit badge classes - Please note there are several two hour merit badge classes this summer. Rifle and Shotgun are not only two hour merit badge sessions but are running all five days of the week. Outposts - Thursday night is Outpost night. Scouts who are part of the Trailblazer Program will hike to a pavilion at Camp Avery Hand for a fun night with a campfire, s mores and sleeping outside. Those scouts taking Wilderness Survival will have an outpost to practice their survival skills. More information see Section 3-2. Root Beer Floats - Returning on Wednesday nights will be the opportunity to purchase Root Beer floats. What a great treat for a warm summer night! Split Meals - With the continued growth in the Heart of Ohio Council summer camp registration, and to assure meal attendance does not exceed the dining hall's allowable safe capacity, Firelands Scout Reservation summer camp sessions will once again implement a split meal time policy. (Group A will have designated meals different from Group B.) Troops will still dine as a single unit. Troops will not be split across the two meal times. This opportunity will provide our campers with an improved dining experience through shorter lines, less wait time to be seated, additional flexibility in seating arrangements and an improved atmosphere (less noise) for group conversation and program announcements.

6 1-4 Summit Adventure Trip - Are you looking for more adventure, HIGH ADVENTURE? You are in luck. Firelands Scout Reservation (FSR) is teaming with the Summit Bechtel Reserve (SBR) to provide a new high adventure opportunity for Scouts 13 years of age and older. How does it work? Boy Scouts and Venturers will join their Troop or Crew at summer camp on Sunday for the opening campfire. Monday morning, the Scouts and leaders will be transported to SBR for five days of high adventure fun. On Friday evening, the Scouts will rejoin their Unit back at FSR for the closing campfire and travel back home on Saturday morning after enjoying our traditional Paul Bunyan breakfast. Check out our website for details. Troop Pictures - All troops will receive one (1) complimentary group photograph, during checkout of their stay from Firelands Scout Reservation. Units will have the ability to purchase additional copies and we will have them ready at check out after Paul Bunyan Breakfast on Saturday morning. The order form is located at the back of this guide to be turned in at check-in. Troop Position 101 (Troop 101) - Our camp staff will lead your new leaders in a guided discussion on how to successfully lead their troop. Please check the schedule for times and dates for the various troop positions. We see this as a really great opportunity for your Scout Troop Leaders to kick start your program. So if you have a Scout with a lot of experience, encourage him to participate; if you have a newly elected leader this time is for him. This is Scouting as envisioned by Lord Baden-Powell. Learn more details at the March pre-camp meeting. ArrowTour - Firelands Scout Reservation has been lucky to be one of the chosen stops on the ArrowTour! ArrowTour is a celebration of the Order of the Arrow's centennial anniversary. ArrowTour will provide opportunities to reflect, connect, and discover the Order's rich 100-year history, and reveal where the steps to our second century of service begin. The tentative date is Monday, July 13 th from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. This program is opened to all Scouts, OA members and nonmembers alike. Whether a first year camper or a seasoned volunteer, the ArrowTour program will offer something for everyone.

7 1-5 CAMP POLICIES AND GENERAL INFORMATION ADULT LEADERSHIP In accordance with the policy of the Boy Scouts of America, camp requires a minimum of two leaders in attendance at all times. Each unit will supply at least one adult leader at least 21 years of age, and a registered member of your troop or another unit in the council. The second leader may be a registered Scouter 18 years or older, or a parent of a participating troop member. There are occasions when two troops share the same campsite. In this instance, and with prior unit agreements, each troop will supply one adult leader at least 21 years of age, and must be a registered member. ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, ILLEGAL DRUGS AND SMOKING Neither alcoholic beverages nor illegal drugs are ever permitted on any council camp property. Any leader or camper in violation of this policy will be asked to leave camp immediately. Illegal drug use and/or possession will be reported to the local law enforcement department. All of our camping locations are smoke-free facilities. Please inform your Scout parents and family members of this policy as it applies to everyone on camp property. If anyone needs to smoke, they may do so in their vehicles. The BSA non-smoking policy now includes E- Cigarettes. BIKES IN CAMP Personal bikes are allowed in camp. Riders must wear personal protection equipment. A bike helmet is the only accepted minimum safety equipment. Bikes may only be ridden on camp roads. No trail riding. Refer to the National BSA guidelines for helmet requirements. Football, hockey, and lacrosse helmets are acceptable substitutes for a real bike helmet. Failure to follow the rules will result in confiscation of the bike by the camp staff. As with all personal items, the camp is not responsible if your bike is lost, stolen, or damaged. Bring the proper equipment to store your bike. All Scouts and adults riding bikes at camp must attend a camp bike safety course. BUDDY SYSTEM The buddy system shall be used for all aquatic activities. For all other situations, the buddy system shall be used as decided by each unit s leaders for their given circumstances in accordance with the Guide to Safe Scouting. CAMP ATTIRE In accordance with the policy of the Boy Scouts of America, Scouts and leaders are encouraged to wear the full Field or Activity Scout uniform while at camp. (The activity uniform is a Scout t-shirt worn with any shorts or long pants.) However, it is not a requirement for participation. We ask that full field uniforms be worn for morning and evening flag ceremonies, evening meals, and campfires. For most of the day, it is preferred all Scouts wear a Scouting related or blank shirt. Any clothing and accessories must reflect the values of Scouting. A shirt is required at all times, except when swimming, boating, or in a tent. Shoes are required and are to be worn at all times. No open toed shoes are permitted.

8 CAMP EQUIPMENT Your troop should bring what it considers preferable and necessary. Tents, mattresses, and other campsite items supplied by the camp are for your use. Any damage to tents (new holes, insect repellent on walls, cut ropes, etc.) will be charged to the troop. This is also true of broken shovels, saws, and equipment. It is not our intent to inconvenience anyone, but the cost to replace and repair equipment continues to go up. We do not want that to be reflected in our camp usage fees. Troops may want to bring additional tent stakes in case they are needed. Troops will also need to supply their own dining fly for use in the campsite. Dining flies are no longer provided by the camp. CAMP MEDICAL SERVICE In case of an accident or illness in camp, first aid will be provided at the camp health lodge. Should the condition of the patient require removal to a hospital, it will be done by troop leadership, or by ambulance in those extreme cases. If the patient's condition prevents him from staying at the troop campsite, then arrangements must be made to get him back to his home. Prescription drugs and medications will be kept at the campsites in locked containers. The locked containers will be provided at check in. All prescription drugs and medications must be reviewed by the health officer at check-in. A note signed by a parent or guardian, with directions for dispensing, must accompany all over-the-counter medications. Any medication requiring refrigeration will be kept at the health lodge and arrangements may be made by the unit leader to dispense the medication. All medicines must be in original containers. CAMP STAFF Our camp staff has been selected based on their ability to best serve each troop that attends the camp. They may be a high school or college student, a teacher or community leader, a parent or a volunteer; but the common characteristic among them is their dedication and interest in the Heart of Ohio Council camping program. They are all human beings, and as such, may make mistakes. When these situations arise, please deal with it in a manner that best reflects the Scout Law. CAMP T-SHIRTS As in years past, we will once again be offering a special 2015 Firelands Scout Reservation Summer Camp T-shirt. Forms for ordering the t-shirt can be found on our website at Please Note: There is a discounted offer that is only available prior to camp. Our trading post will only have a very small limited supply in stock during camp at regular price. Please do not count on the trading post having enough t-shirts for sale for your entire troop, so please order your t-shirts ahead of time. ELECTRONIC DEVICES It is recommended that radios, CDs, MP3 players, cell phones, hand-held video games, and TVs of any kind not be brought to camp. They are not conducive to the outdoor program of Scouting. If any such listening device should be brought to camp, then it must stay in the unit's campsite and should not be heard outside the campsite. Scouts may NOT plug a device into any camp outlet to charge or play the device. Such devices will be confiscated. The use of two-way radios is prohibited by youth members of your unit, with the exception of the Senior Patrol leader. The use of scanners is prohibited by all. 1-6 CELL PHONES ARE PROHIBITED IN SHOWER HOUSES, RESTROOMS & LATRINES!

9 CHECK-IN / CHECK-OUT TIMES The check-in time is between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on Sunday. No one will be admitted to camp prior to the official 2:00 p.m. opening. Use the Camp Wyandot/Bates Road entrance (see map). If you arrive prior to the check-in time, your troop will be required to wait in the parking lot. Please notify the Reservation Director a week in advance if you will be moving equipment into camp on Saturday. Check-out begins on Saturday morning following breakfast (8:00 a.m.). NO VEHICLES WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE CAMPING AREA PRIOR TO THE COMPLETION OF BREAKFAST. We request that all troops be out of camp no later than 11:30 a.m. FAMILY NIGHT The Heart of Ohio Council camp welcomes parents and family members to visit the Scouts at camp on Wednesday evenings. Visitors may arrive any time after 4:30 p.m. and stay through campfire. PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE EARLIER THAN 4:30, AS CAMPERS and STAFF ARE STILL IN PROGRAM. There will be an open house at different program areas on Wednesday evenings from 7:00-8:30 p.m., allowing parents to see the summer camp programs and meet the staff. Visitors during family night must check in with the Scoutmaster. If possible, please let the camp leadership know how many guests we should expect. GOLF CARTS/UTILITY VECHILES The health and safety of all staff and participants at Firelands Scout Reservation is the most important consideration when developing policy guidelines. For the sake of safety, motor vehicles are limited to those that are necessary to meet camp needs and to provide transportation in camp when there is a true need. To ensure safety, these vehicles must be well maintained and be inspected by the camp ranger to ensure they meet policy guidelines and to be authorized for use within the boundaries of council property. Prior approval is required before golf carts not belonging to the council are brought onto council property. The council understands that there are times when these vehicles may mean the difference in whether or not an individual is able to participate. Those individuals must provide proof of medical necessity through a handicapped sticker in their name or a note (on letterhead or prescription blank) from their healthcare provider deeming it a medical necessity. Reasonable concessions will be made for those participants with a medical necessity. The following policy guidelines govern the use of golf carts within the boundaries of Heart of Ohio Council property golf carts must be in accordance with all council and BSA policies: Be classified as a golf cart or utility vehicle. NO ATVs or other type vehicles are allowed. Have seat belts for use by all riders. Have a horn (even if a bicycle or other type horn is added as an accessory). Have headlights. Otherwise, the golf cart will be authorized for use only during daylight. Have a first aid kit and fire extinguisher on board. Be covered with insurance provided by the individual owner. Authorized drivers Are at least 21 years of age. Must observe council camp and council event speed limits (10 mph). Must not transport passengers unless medically necessary and/or pre-approved by council authority. Are responsible for the safe operation and condition of the vehicle. Are responsible for the maintenance and fuel needs of the vehicle. Must drive in a courteous manner and yield right-of-way to pedestrians. 1-7

10 1-8 HAZING AND BULLYING Hazing and bullying in any form will not be tolerated. Neither do anything to contribute to the character or development of youth. HOMESICKNESS Coming to camp for the first time, and occasionally the second time, may sometimes lead to a case of homesickness. We regard this as a normal, healthy occurrence in a Scout. After all, leaving home and having to fend for one's self may be a jolt. The staff is instructed to be aware of the campers' moods and emotional adjustment. If a Scout is homesick, they will encourage him to talk it out and will try to help him understand the emotions he is feeling, but they also make an effort to involve the camper in all camp activities. Experience tells us that within a few days, the camper is busy having fun and feeling secure with the staff, newfound friends, and the outdoors. INTERNET By popular request, Internet access will once again be available in the Smith-Keller Boat House. We know that some leaders need to stay connected during their stay. Please keep usage to a minimum, so it is available to all. Please understand that those Scouts working on merit badges will have a priority for usage. We have password protected the wireless network for Please see the Program Director for the password. LEAVING CAMP Please stay in camp! The summer camp experience is much richer and rewarding if the Scouts do not leave the camp for ball games and other activities. Please ask the families to plan accordingly by allowing their child to experience the full camp week. However, Scouts still have the option to leave to attend other activities, with parent and leader approval. If the need arises for a Scout (under 18) to leave the camp during his camp session, the following policy, in accordance with National Boy Scouts of America standards, must be followed. This policy has been put into effect in order to protect the safety of all Scouts attending summer camp. The unit leader, or his delegate, must be advised of the situation by a parent or legal guardian and agree to the dismissal. This should be done with as much advance notice as possible. The unit leader, in all cases prior to the Scout leaving camp, must advise the Camp Program Director of the situation. A parent or legal guardian, the unit leader, and the Scout himself must present themselves as a group to the Camp Program Director and file the appropriate release forms (check-out) in the reservation office. Only the parent or legal guardian, or those named on the Annual Health and Medical Record form, will be allowed to transport a Scout off the camp premises. No exceptions. The Reservation Director may request the identification of any person transporting a Scout off the reservation. Please remember, in most cases, leaders and Scouts leaving camp become ineligible for camp honors. If a leader or Scout requests to leave camp due to homesickness, please consult the Program Director before acting on his request.

11 LOST & FOUND All lost and found items at camp will be left in the camp office, located at the Smith-Keller Boathouse. Please check with the office if you have found an item or you are looking for something that may be lost. Please check with other campers from your site to make sure they did not pick up your items by mistake. Once summer camp is over, we will hold the items at the Firelands Trading Post and Scout Store until September 1. After September 1, all items will be donated to an appropriate organization. To help prevent lost items from being donated, please label all items before coming to camp with your last name and troop number. MAIL PICKUP The mail pick up and delivery location is at the Smith-Keller Boat House. We ask that adult leaders handle all mail pick-up and drop-off. When writing to your son, please include his troop number and campsite. The mailing address is: Your Scout s Name Troop # Campsite Gore-Orphanage Road Wakeman, OH Be sure to include your return address. Please plan accordingly for mail to arrive at camp on time. If planning ahead means to send mail prior to the start of camp, please do so. We will hold mail for campers that have not arrived at camp. However, once a camper has left and mail arrives for them, we will return the mail to the sender. MEALS Meals at Firelands Scout Reservation are more than opportunities to eat! Mealtimes provide the opportunity for your entire Troop to gather together at one time. The Scouting spirit will be on full display. We'll share news of the day, compete with cheers, and join in after-meal songs! Our meals are served "cafeteria-style" with up to eight individuals sitting at each table. You will sit at the same tables during your entire stay, and your table assignment will be made when you arrive. Should you have extra space at your table, you may be asked to host staff members or share with another troop. With the growth in the Heart of Ohio Council summer camp registration and to assure meal attendance does not exceed the dining hall's allowable safe capacity, Firelands Scout Reservation summer camp sessions will implement a split meal time policy, (Group A will have designated meal different from Group B). Troops will still dine as a single unit. Troops will not be split across the two meal times. This opportunity will provide our campers with an improved dining experience through shorter lines, less wait time to be seated, additional flexibility in seating arrangements, and an improved atmosphere (less noise) for group conversation and program announcements. MERIT BADGE SIGN-UP Merit badge sign-up will be available on-line at All Scouts MUST be registered on-line for merit badge classes and trailblazers. The website is very 1-9

12 user friendly. Please keep the following in mind when registering: One adult leader should be assigned to register your Scouts for merit badges. Determine an ideal class schedule with all your Scouts along with a few alternate merit badges in case the classes they want are full. Logins and passwords will be distributed at the pre-camp leaders meeting on April 4, All Scouts NEED to bring blue cards to camp. All program fees have been eliminated for 2015, with the exception of Rifle and Shotgun Merit Badges. MERIT BADGE PREREQUISITES Our merit badge offerings may have a prerequisite that needs to be completed prior to coming to camp, which will ensure that your Scouts will be able to complete their merit badges at camp. The complete list of prerequisites can be found on the online registration page MERIT BADGE COMPLETION OPPORTUNITY For those Scouts who have already attended camp and wish to finish a merit badge that has been at least 50% completed, they may return to complete merit badges. A fee of $40 per day will be charged for each Scout. The approval of the Reservation or Program Director is required. Please do not just show up to camp. Each Scout will be able to eat lunch in the dining hall. If you choose not to eat lunch, the fee remains at $40. Arrangements should be made with the Reservation Director at least 24 hours prior to arriving at camp. Scouts must bring their merit badge blue card and health form. Check-in is at the health lodge between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., and check-out is between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. This does not include the trailblazers program. OUT OF COUNCIL UNITS CONTINUED INNCENTIVE All out of council units that join us at Firelands Scout Reservation for a second consecutive year will receive in-council pricing for their Scouts. PATROL METHOD COOKING OPTIONS A campsite cooking option is available at Firelands Scout Reservation. Under this option, instead of eating in the dining hall, your troop brings its own food to camp or gets food from our dining hall and prepares it in your campsite using the patrol method. If your troop decides on this option, the Troop can decide to eat one or more meals in your campsite. The camp will provide suitable storage facilities; including refrigeration in the dining hall. PETS No pets are permitted in camp at any time. PHOTOGRAPHS Every unit will receive a complimentary unit photo in their exit packet. Additional copies may be ordered on the order form located at the end of this leader guide. There will be a slide show at the end of every session of camp at the closing campfire. Leaders and Scouts are encouraged to share their photos to be included in the slide show. More information will be given at camp. POSESSION OF FIREARMS AT CAMP Firearms are not permitted to be in camp except for program use, even in the case of open-carry

13 or concealed weapons permits. Camp Wyandot will supply firearms and ammunition during program use only. All firearms will be properly stored and secured while not in use THE PROGRAM AT FIRELANDS The program at Firelands Scout Reservation is designed for first, second, third, and fourth year campers who want to achieve advancement by earning merit badges and learning Scouting skills. This is the historical purpose of summer camp; an opportunity for Scouts to work on various "outdoor" merit badges and to have fun by participating in numerous activities. It is an important aspect of summer camp, since many troops do not have resources such as canoes, rowboats, archery and rifle ranges, and many of the other outdoor resources required for advancement in Scouting. A Scout may not do everything in camp. There are so many activities possible; it is impossible for a Scout to do them all. PROGRAM FEES All Program fees for the 2015 Merit Badge program have been waived with the exception of Shotgun ($25) and rifle ($10) merit badges. ROOT BEER FLOAT NIGHT Join the fun and fellowship as root beer floats will be once again be sold for one night only out in front of the Smith-Keller Boat House. Enjoy a special treat to cool you off on a hot summer s night. Join the Scouts from Salesmanship merit badge, as they use their new skills to sell refreshing root beer floats. QUIET TIME Each unit has the obligation to make sure Scouts are in the campsite by 11:00 p.m. They are asked to observe quiet time from 11:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. REST AT CAMP The amount of sleep a boy gets may make the difference between a great camping experience and a poor one. Everyone needs an adequate amount of sleep to function in a cheerful and positive manner. The Scoutmaster is responsible for seeing that each Scout has the opportunity to get at least eight to ten hours of restful sleep each day. This means that each troop should respect the quiet time period from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. RELIGIOUS PROGRAM IN CAMP The twelfth point of the Scout law is "A Scout is Reverent." The religious program in camp will be conducted as approved and provided by the religious committee of the council. Opportunities for daily "quiet period", individual counseling, a vesper service, and information regarding the various religious awards will be available. Consult the schedule for vesper service times. SHOWER BUILIDNG A SCOUT IS CLEAN. All Scouts and leaders in camp are encouraged to make use of the camp's hot water showers located next to the Smith/Keller Boat House. Leaders, please give attention to the cleanliness of your Scouts. They should get up in time to wash, brush their teeth, and clean up before breakfast. New single person stalls have been installed, so anyone can shower any time, day or night. We are also asking each troop to help with the shower house cleanliness. Twice a day, the shower building will receive a cleaning from troops. All troops and staff will be given the opportunity to help with the cleaning. More details will be announced at the Sunday leader's meeting.

14 1-12 SHOOTING SPORTS OPEN SHOOTS Tickets must be purchased in advance at the Trading Post in order to participate in open shoots. Shotgun tickets cost $10 (10 rounds) and Rifle tickets cost $1 (10 rounds). Tickets must be presented at the range at the time of the open shoot. SPECIAL DIETS Scouts or leaders who require special diets due to medical or religious requirements will be accommodated wherever possible. So that the camp cook may make proper preparations, it is urgent that all special dietary needs be communicated to the Reservation Director at least two weeks prior to your stay at camp. Please give us specific instructions as soon as possible so that we may work towards making the week a good one for that person. There is a special diet form located on the Heart of Oho Council. Please fill it out and turn it in ASAP. S.T.E.M. S.T.E.M. stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. These disciplines are considered by many to be the foundation for academic and professional fields of an advanced society. In many forums, including political/governmental and academic, the strength of its S.T.E.M. workforce is viewed as an indicator of a nation's ability to sustain itself. To engage youth members in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, the Boy Scouts of America has created a new emphasis that incorporates elements of S.T.E.M. in its current advancement programs. The BSA's S.T.E.M. initiative gives Scouts an opportunity to explore relevant skills and experiences and for their achievements to be recognized. The aim is to expose youth to opportunities and help them develop skills critical for the competitive world market. For more information visit Merit badges included in the Nova Awards. Look for more information at the pre-camp leader's meeting in March. TELEPHONE USAGE The Firelands Scout Reservation phone number is (440) and is provided only for emergency use. All other calls should be on personal phones. TENTS, PLATFORMS, COTS, AND MATTRESSES We are privileged to have each campsite supplied with platforms for your comfort during the week. Please do not move the tents/platforms and do not nail or staple the canvas to the platforms. Through the generosity of local foundations, each camper will also be provided with a cot and mattress. Any damage will be the responsibility of the unit. The camp has provided a certain number of tents, platforms, cots, and mattresses for each site. Please plan accordingly to provide tents for Scouts/Leaders above and beyond what is provided. Contact the Reservation Director if you have any issues. TOUR AND ACTIVITY PLAN All units from outside of the Heart of Ohio Council must provide a copy of a completed Tour and Activity plan. TRADING POST Camp Wyandot operates a trading post that sells supplies, equipment, souvenirs, and snacks. If you are looking for something, ask and they will try to get it. The store hours are subject to change.

TREE CUTTING No live or "standing dead" trees may be taken down without permission from the ranger. TROOP EQUIPMENT You are always welcome to bring your own troop equipment to camp. However, its use must be guided by the National Boy Scouts of America standards as they apply. Specific reference is to the use of liquid fuels and troop supplied tents (30 sq. feet of floor space per camper and must be flame retardant). The tents must have "No Open Flames in Tent stamped on tent. TROOP / PATROL ACTIVITIES Is your troop or patrol looking for an activity to do as a group while at camp? We have the perfect opportunity for you. Do you want to have the archery, rifle, or shotgun range for just you and your friends? Do you want to enjoy the scenic view of the high COPE course? Your troop or patrol (or both) may now enjoy some relaxing activities as a group. Our shooting sports and climbing staffs are more than willing to help you conduct a troop or patrol program. Stop by either program area and chat with the area director to get your troop or patrol scheduled to enjoy some time together as a group. TIE DYE Join us for our Tie Dye night as we bring back this popular event. Bring your favorite white t- shirt or buy one form the trading post for $3 each. WHAT A GREAT DEAL! VALUABLES AT CAMP Please be reminded to keep a close watch on all valuables while in camp. Locking up cash and other items is a good way to prevent problems. The camp staff will not be responsible for personal losses. Please do not ask our staff to look after your property. A good rule; if it is priceless, don't bring it to camp. VEHICLES & PARKING Every person entering the camp in a vehicle, or riding in a vehicle on the campgrounds, must have and use a seatbelt. NO RIDERS IN THE BACK OF TRUCKS OR TRAILERS! All vehicles will be parked in the main parking lot. No personal vehicles will be driven to campsites during the week. We will always make special arrangements for individuals with physical disabilities. Please notify the program director in advance when this may occur. Only troop equipment trailers will be permitted in the campsite.

19 2-3 MERIT BADGES Of course, summer camp means merit badges! The following merit badges will be offered at Camp Wyandot-Firelands Scout Reservation during the 2015 summer camp season. Scouts should look over the list and pick those he may be interested in, do some reading to confirm his interest, and then look at the schedule for sign up. This year, all Scouts will need to be in the online merit badge registration program to attend merit badge or Trailblazers sessions. Please contact Will Hall with any issues; you can reach Will at As always, our counselors will work with individual Scouts to help them earn merit badges, even if there are schedule conflicts, as long as the Scout is willing to work in non-scheduled times. Merit badge sign-up will be available online at All Scouts MUST be registered online for Merit Badge classes and Trailblazers. The website is very user friendly. Please keep the following in mind when registering: One adult leader should be assigned to register your Scouts for merit badges Determine an ideal class schedule with all your Scouts along with a few alternate merit badges in case the classes they want are full (2015 will once again have class size limits). Logins and passwords will be distributed at the pre-camp leaders meeting on March 28, All Scouts NEED to bring blue cards to camp All program fees have been eliminated for 2015, with the exception of Rifle and Shotgun Merit Badges.

21 3-1 PROJECT C.O.P.E. (LOW AND HIGH ROPES COURSE) TEAM and LEADERSHIP BUILDING MINIMUM OF 6 PARTICIPANTS NEEDED Low Course: The low course involves group dynamics and challenges through participation in initiative games and events. Patrols, and Troop Leaders are encouraged to attend. The Trust Fall: Each participant falls backward from a 4-foot high platform into the arms of their team members. The Triangle Traverse: is a 2-foot high cable connected to three trees, forming a triangle. The objective is to have all the members of your team on the cable at the same time, and to get each member of the team all the way around the cable without falling off. The Wall: is a 12-foot high wall. The objective is to get each member of the team over the wall. Whale Watch: is a 10-foot platform. All members of the team must be on the Whale Watch at the same time and must succeed in keeping it level. High Course: MUST PARTICIPATE IN LOW COPE prior to the High Course. The High Ropes Complex is connected to the climbing, and rappelling tower and will offer high ropes events. The Caving Ladder: Climb 12-feet, and then ascend an additional 30-foot upward on the Caving Ladder to the top of the High Ropes Complex. The Giant's Ladder: Has 4-foot high rungs. The participant ascends 12-feet upward to the start of the Giant's Ladder and then ascends an additional 30 feet to the top of the High Ropes Complex. The Concave/Convex Giant Cargo Net: The participant ascends 12-feet upward to the start of the Concave/Convex Giant Cargo net, then continues upward an additional 30-feet to the top of the High Ropes Complex. The Zip Line: Starting at 41-feet, the participant travels downhill between 200 and 300-feet. The participant hangs onto straps (and is double-hooked in), "jumps off" the 41-foot high platform, and flies down the other end. A great ride! The Giant Swing: Ten of your friends pull you 42-feet into the air, then you swing out and experience weightlessness as you fly back and forth. CLIMBING AND RAPPELLING - WALDOCK TOWER FIRELANDS SCOUT RESERVATION Firelands Scout Reservation's Waldock Tower is over 41-feet tall, with at least six climbs, ranging from a relatively easy climb to an extreme challenge. One wall is 41-feet high and is for rappelling (needed for the Climbing and Rappelling merit badge). Firelands COPE/High Ropes Complex/Rock Wall Tower Climbing-Rappelling Schedule Mornings (Daily): 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m....

Scouts must be at least 12 years old for tower, climbing, and rappelling. Daily schedule is based on demand and will change to fit the needs and demands of the Scouts. Scouts need appropriate clothing (sturdy shoes). Family Night activities are open to visitors 13 years old and older in good health and wearing appropriate clothing/shoes as determined by the COPE director. Registered Scouts age 12 may climb and be lowered down. TRAILBLAZERS AND OUTPOSTS Trailblazers - Most every camp has a first year Scout program - ours is called "Trailblazers". This program is designed to get first and second year Scouts off to a great start in your troop, by providing instruction in the key requirements for Tenderfoot through First Class. We provide the instruction and practice, but you decide to sign the Scout's requirement according to your troop's policies. First and Second year Scouts who are not yet First Class should plan on attending Trailblazers in either the morning or afternoon sessions. The sessions are the same with the same skills taught in both sessions. The full schedule will be found on the online registration form. To help younger Scouts get off to a good start, and have an enjoyable first year of Trailblazers and merit badges, we recommend no more than two or three of the following merit badges for first year campers: Art Rifle Indian Lore Swimming Basketry Sculpture Leatherwork Woodcarving Due to their more advanced nature or reliance on self-motivation and work, the following age restriction must be followed (age of Scout on the Sunday beginning their week of camp): Climbing and Rappelling 12+ Shotgun 13+ Wilderness Survival 14+ Citizenship in the Nation 14+ Communications 14+ Project C.O.P.E. 13+ Personal Management 14+ Specific prerequisites, costs, and special restriction will accompany the full schedule in the early part of Please note that kayaking and snorkeling are NOT merit badge offerings, but BSA awards. Along with merit badges, we believe we have an exciting week long program that will keep Scouts interested and active. Trailblazer Outpost Due to popular demand, we will be having the Trailblazers Outpost again. This outpost will provide an opportunity for your younger youth to put their newly acquired knowledge and skills to the test as they spend the night under the stars, enjoying some s mores and hotdogs. Join the Trailblazer staff

23 Thursday night at 8:00 p.m. at the Trailblazer shelter to hike over to Carpenter Campsite. This outpost is a fair weathered event only. Must provide own pack, ground tarp, and sleeping bag. Wilderness Survival Outpost Got any youth taking the Wilderness Survival Merit Badge or older scouts who just enjoy sleeping in their own hand made shelter? Then this is the outpost for them! During this outpost the youth are hiked out on one of magnificent back trails by our Scoutcraft staff. Once at the predetermined location, they build their own shelter from whatever they can find in the woods. This outpost puts their newly acquired skills and knowledge about survival to the test and is a fitting way to cap stone the Wilderness Survival Merit Badge. This outpost meets and will leave promptly at 8:00 p.m. from the Scoutcraft Shelter. Scouts must bring a water bottle and survival kit to the outpost. NO sleeping bags, pillows, or tents are allowed on this outdoor excursion. Scoutmaster Campfire This will be led by the Turtle Clan Leader and should be seen as a time of fun and relaxation on Thursday night rather than a time of training. This is a great time to enjoy time with other Scoutmasters and maybe professional staff in an informal environment as just a bunch of adults hanging around a fire enjoying each other s company. 3-3

24 3-4 CAMP WYANDOT TURTLE CLAN TRAINING AREA 2015 Purpose: In the Turtle Clan Training Area, we will provide leaders with the training they need to become a trained Boy Scout Leader during the entire week. If a leader completes the training programs needed for their position by attending sessions or taking online training, they will receive the Turtle Clan Patrol Patch to wear on their uniform. We will also work with leaders to complete any training that they need to complete their training. We have internet access to the My Scouting website to view the training they have completed. There are also opportunities for trained leaders to come back and help other leaders develop their skills while assisting the Turtle Clan Director. Most of all, this is a place where leaders can meet and talk to other leaders while having some fun along the way. Youth leaders are also encouraged to attend the Den Chief Training and adult sessions. Each week the participants will form a patrol with some form of turtle in the name. They will also make a patrol flag and patrol yell. The patrol is encouraged to stand as a unit at meals, if they wish, and to help with flag ceremonies and other camp activities. Background: The Turtle Clan Training Area is named in honor of the symbol of the Wyandot Tribe. The tribal symbol is a black turtle under 2 palm leaves, holding a peace pipe and a war club. On the shell is a white 12 pointed star with a fire symbol in the middle. The 12 points represent the 12 clans of the tribe of which 5 were some type of turtle. The fire symbol represents the fact that the Wyandot Tribe was considered to be the keepers of the fire by other tribes. In our area symbol we removed the palm leaves, the peace pipe and the war club. Our 12 pointed shell represents the 12 points of the Scout Law. The head, tail, and legs of the turtle represent the fleur-d-lies showing the true way and reminding us of the Scout Oath. The fire symbol in the shell represents the promise of our members to keep the fire of Scouting burning brightly by being trained for our position in Scouting. Approximately one third of the leaders attending summer camp attend Turtle Clan since the program was created in Turtle Clan Award: The design is a leather thong tied with a friendship knot. This knot will have an additional black piece of leather with a bead on one end inserted in the middle of the friendship knot. The bead is the head of the turtle, the leather loop and bead thongs the legs of the turtle and the black leather the tail. One bead is earned for each training session that is attended either in the Turtle Clan Area or other leader trainings being offered in camp. The participants decide what color bead they will take if they wish special colors. If a leader is trained for their current position with the most recent training(s) a large light colored bead will be added to the neck loop above the turtle friendship knot. If a leader was trained with older trainings a large dark colored bead will be added to the neck loop above the turtle friendship knot. Any participant that attends training sessions on 3 different days will additionally be awarded a glow-in-the dark turtle to place above turtle friendship knot. Each year the turtle will be a new design allowing participants to earn additional turtles. Returning Turtle Clanners may earn their new turtle by attending any session during the week and assisting in Turtle Clan in some manner. They may also earn an additional bead for every session they attend or take online. TURTLE CLAN CREED: As a member of the Turtle Clan I will strive to keep my training current, to set the example to my Scouting family by living the Scout Oath and Scout Law, and to help others with the skills that I learned in the Turtle Clan.

25 3-5 ORDER OF THE ARROW - PORTAGE LODGE 619 This summer at Firelands Scout Reservation, members of Portage Lodge 619 can seal their membership in the Order of the Arrow by earning their Brotherhood at summer camp! By obtaining this honor, members earn the bars on their sash and learn more about their induction. The process is simple for ALL eligible members: write a letter addressed to the Lodge Secretary, describing their understanding of the Obligation, how they have fulfilled it, and how they plan to serve others and the lodge in the future. The lodge requests that all eligible members seal their membership since it benefits both the member and the lodge and there is no better place than at summer camp! The brotherhood ceremony will take place every Wednesday evening at camp this year, directly following the Wednesday Camp Fire and Call-out. Any additional information about this honor can be found by referencing the following: - The Order of the Arrow Handbook in the section entitled "On the Trail to Brotherhood" - The Jumpstart section of the National OA website, - The honors section of the Portage lodge website, The Brotherhood fee is $20.00 which covers the cost of the new sash and you can find the registration form in the trading post. On a side note, you MUST be a current dues-paid member of the lodge. Annual dues are only $13.00 to be a member of the Order of the Arrow. We ask that anyone who has not paid their 2015 dues to NOT wear their OA sashes or Lodge flaps on their uniform as this takes away from the honor of being in the Order that strives to serve others. All dues paid members are invited to wear their OA sashes on Wednesday for OA Day at camp to show your membership in the Order and Lodge pride. Wednesday evening will culminate with the campfire and call-out ceremony. Also a reminder for Scoutmasters: Your unit needs to have an Order of the Arrow Unit Election before summer camp to have your eligible and elected members called out on Wednesday evening. If you need a unit election to be scheduled, please call the person that corresponds with your district as listed below. Emergency unit election may be possible in extreme cases at camp. District Unit Election Representatives Great Frontier District: Jim Lieb - (724) Firelands District: Steve Jones - (419) Johnny Appleseed Trail District: Dan Fraley - (614) Harding Area District: Josh Nagel - (740) For units from outside of the Heart of Ohio Council, we will be pleased to call out your Scouts at the callout ceremony on Wednesday evening as well. We do ask that you have a letter from your lodge/council giving our ceremony team the ability to call out your troop members. The Lodge Chief will appoint an OA Camp Representative to serve in his absence at camp to run the dayto-day operations of the Lodge at summer camp. Any comments, questions or concerns should be directed towards this individual youth who will be named at a future date. Any questions prior to summer camp should be directed to lodgechief@portage619.org.

26 3-6 FIRST DAY OF CAMP STOP #1 The Parking Lot (10-20 minutes) Camp check-in (each Scout should wear his swimsuit under his uniform to make the check-in go faster). Troops are to check in AS A TROOP, starting at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday. A staff guide will meet your troop at the parking lot and lead you to the campsite while the Scoutmaster checks in each Scout in alphabetical order. The check-in will go more smoothly if the Scoutmaster is prepared with the following: completed Troop Roster (3 copies), all receipts for camp fees paid to the council, balance of money to pay camp fees, an estimate of meal count for Family Night, and completed medical forms (in alphabetical order) with all signatures required in a separate folder. While the Scoutmaster registers at the Smith-Keller Boat House, the Senior Patrol Leader will lead the troop to the medical re-check portion of the check-in process. He will need all the troop's completed medical forms (see above for order). Only one vehicle, with patrol and troop gear will be permitted to drive to the unit campsite. Scouts should backpack or carry in at least one major item of personal gear. Further instructions will be given at check-in. STOP #2 The Medical Re-Check (15-20 minutes) Assisted by your staff guide, the Senior Patrol Leader will lead the troop to the medical re-check area. The SPL or other troop leader will ensure there is a completed physical for each Scout or adult in camp. At the re-check, each Scout and leader form will be reviewed by the health lodge personnel. Individual health needs and concerns will be addressed with Scouts and leaders at this time. It is recommended that the unit keep a copy of these records in the campsite. STOP #3 Dining Hall Orientation (10 minutes) As you wait for the swim check or on the way to your campsite, your staff guide will stop with you at the dining hall where you will receive a dining hall orientation. This ten minute dining hall orientation will make your Scouts first dining experience more enjoyable. *IF ANY OF YOUR YOUTH HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES, PLEASE INTRODUCE THAT YOUTH TO THE KITCHEN STAFF AND INFORM THEM OF THE ALLERGY. STOP #4 The Swim Check (20-40 minutes) Depending upon the line at the swim check, the troop will go to either the swim check or the unit campsite. The Shower House may be used by Scouts who forgot to dress in swimsuits under their uniform, but this will slow down your unit's swim check. The swim check is a "getting to know" the area process, followed by a test of a swimmer's ability. This will take minutes depending upon troop size. During any possible wait, the staff guide and patrol leaders will conduct "getting to know you" exercises and review camp rules. STOP #5 Camp Site After completing your swim check, your staff guide will lead your unit to the camp site to begin settling in. This time should be spent wisely to ensure your initial set-up is completed in time to make your dinner time. Your staff guide will help you with any questions you may have. They can also be able to give tours, if needed.

32 3-12 CHIEF WYANDOT AWARD INFORMATION The Heart of Ohio Council's Chief Wyandot Award is a unique honor for the Scouts who attend the Heart of Ohio Council Boy Scout Summer Camp. Nowhere else can this award be earned! The Chief Wyandot Award is available to both Scouts and Scouters who attend the Heart of Ohio Council, Boy Scout Summer Camp the entire week of camp (Sunday through Saturday). The award is broken down into five levels. It will take five years for any Scout or Scouter to attain all the levels of the Chief Wyandot Award. Although not a required program, this award will provide an enhancement to each Scout's individual experience. The program is offered as a part of the entire summer camp program to be used by the individuals, if they so desire. The program's requirements have been structured so as to appeal to Scouts by enhancing Scout skills, outdoor knowledge and some basic advancement requirements. This fundamental idea of developing an individual's skills makes the Chief Wyandot Award a useful tool for Scoutmasters to help each Scout achieve his personal best. Because of the progression of the award, each Scout is encouraged to advance in rank in order to proceed in the tradition of the Chief Wyandot Award. There will be special ceremonial campfires each week for the different levels of this award by allowing only those Scouts who earned the award to attend the campfires. You must be present to receive the award. First Year Award 1. Minimum Rank Scout 2. Scouting Skills Complete 7 requirements for any rank or complete 1 merit badge (at camp) 3.
