7 Programs and Advancement at Camp ADVANCEMENT AT CAMP We have an exciting merit badge and advancement program. With our unique closeness to Meridian, we are able to deliver merit badges of a top variety with quality Camp Staff Instructors, as well as professionals from the community. TRAILHEADS PROGRAM Camp Binachi s First Year Camper program is designed to give young Scouts a structured schedule. It involves these Scouts with other young Scouts and experienced Staff to help them with advancement in Tenderfoot thru First Class. This program offers up to 31 rank requirements for Tenderfoot, Second, and First Class Ranks. The First Year Camper Program lasts all five sessions and includes taking 2 merit badges. They participate in patrols to learn the patrol method and have fun activities throughout the day. They all will have a campout on the outskirts of Camp Binachi. There is a program fee of $20 for this program and all Scouts will also get a TRAILHEADS t-shirt. DEATH MARCH MORNING HIKES The Death March is a series of 4 BRISK morning hikes leaving from the flagpole sharply at 6:00am on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. These 4 unique hikes are approximately miles long and take hours each to complete. Upon completion of 3, hikers are presented with a patch at the closing campfire. MILE SWIM The Mile Swim is a longtime tradition at Camp Binachi. It is a challenge that is sure to leave you out of breath, and proud to have accomplished. You will practice each morning starting Monday before breakfast and build your stamina until the last day when you swim the mile. A special patch is awarded at the Campfire. CHAPEL SERVICES A non-denominational chapel service is held on Sunday and Wednesday Evenings at the Chapel. Scout Troops with religious Chartered Organizations are encouraged to invite their Priest, Pastor, or Rabbi to visit while the Troop is at camp and help with the chapel services. The council also has a Chaplain that can be available if needed by campers or adults. Page 4

8 MERIT BADGE PROGRAM Scouts need to plan carefully to have a successful experience earning merit badges at camp. Many merit badges require preparation before or after your week at camp. If you wish to complete a badge at camp be sure to bring a certificate of completion of those requirements to camp. Staff are not allowed to sign off on anything not completed at Camp Binachi. It is the responsibility of the Camp Staff to provide instruction on requirements that can be completed at camp. A completion, or a partial with uncompleted requirements, are given to Scoutmasters electronically after camp is over. Every effort will be made to inform Scouts on their progress throughout the week. Leaders are encouraged to visit with the camp staff about the status of their Scouts. Camp Binachi operates with a four-day merit badge schedule. Friday s schedule will include make-up hours, field trips, and camp-wide games. Troops are asked to submit online through DoubleKnot the Merit Badge/Activity information no later than May 12th. Reservations for limited size sessions will be taken on a first come, first serve basis. Any extra openings will be filled at the Leaders Meeting on Sunday evening, along with any changes needing to be made. Please review the Merit Badge Schedule and important information on the following pages. An represents when the class is offered and an < > represents classes lasting two or more periods. It is recommended that each Scout have both a copy of the Merit Badge book and a print out of the Merit Badge worksheet(s) for each badge he is signed up to take. Merit Badge books are available at the Scout Service Center and the worksheets are available at meritbadge.org. The worksheets do not provide needed information on resources and learning of the badge. It is simply a way to track your progress.
