2 B A L D W I N Dear Scouters, Summer camp is a cherished American tradition and one that Camp Baldwin has excelled at for 90 years. As the Pride of the Cascade Pacific Council we hope to inspire your youth to be their best in all that they do by challenging them to work as a team through our patrol oriented program. The camp s focus on service to each other through the patrol method aims to bring up the next generation of leaders through cooperation and fun. Whether it be the experience of cooking for the first time, connecting with horse on a trailride, or overcoming an extraordinary obstacle through our high adventure courses, an experience for each scout is waiting for them at Camp Baldwin. Baldwin continues to provide traditional summer camp programming with new developments to attract Scouts of all ages. Over 40 merit badges are offered by our trained staff so that every camper can design a unique learning experience during their stay. We have the largest herd of horses at any BSA camp on the west coast and one of a kind, natural rock surfaces to climb. Program additions to look forward to this year include our chalkball range, new Trail to First Class program, and expanded Cooking merit badge class that will help prospective students accomplish more of the curriculum at camp. Please take your time to learn and review our Program Guide and Planning Guide. Both contain important information leading up to your stay with us this season. If you are unsure of what is provided or how to take part in all our programming please feel free to contact us at baldwin@bsa.camp. On behalf of the Camp Baldwin Staff and the Cascade Pacific Council we look forward to lifting your Summer camp experience with us. Share this guide with your youth so they can start their amazing week. When the Scouts arrive at our gates we hope they are prepared for the adventure that awaits. Be well, Mark Lee Ben Marshall Courtney Hill Maria Arneson Camp Director Program Director Business Director Food Service Director

3 C A M P B A L D W I N baldwin@bsa.camp Camp Baldwin is the council's premier summer horse and high adventure camp. Horsemanship is central to the camp's program, along with waterfront activities and fishing on a four-acre lake freshly stocked with rainbow trout each year. For older Scouts, the camp has a natural rock face climbing program, day-long whitewater rafting and windsurfing trips, mountain biking, mountain boarding, and an advanced CL wrangler program. Our staff welcomes you to discover the Baldwin Spirit at the Pride of the Cascade Pacific Council. Arrival at Camp Troops should arrive at 11:30am, eat their sack lunch, and prepare to hike into camp. Scoutmasters should head straight to the check-in table with their unit roster. At High Noon a Troop Guide and Commissioner that is assigned to you will meet you in the parking lot and welcome your unit. This troop guide and commissioner will be visiting with your unit daily to make sure your stay at Baldwin is enjoyable. New 72-Hour Adult Policy All Adults attending Summer Camp more than 72 hours must be registered, show they have completed youth protection training and have a background check (takes a week after registration submitted to obtain a background check). My.Scouting rosters are required upon arrival including Youth Protection training certification. Those staying less than 72 hours should complete youth protection training. Camp Tour Your Senior Patrol Leader (SPL) should be prepared to lead your troop s hike in from the parking lot along with your Troop Guide. Medical forms for adults and youths are to be given to the Senior Patrol Leader for use during their camp tour. Key stops on the tour: your campsite, campcraft to learn how to clean dishes, commissary to check out any cooking equipment needed, health checks, and swim checks. The troop guide will also try to stop at all program areas to orient the scouts to camp. Check-In Bring copies of all payment receipts, registration, and insurance. Please bring a printed roster from My.Scouting.org of all youths and adults attending camp. Make sure your roster is up to date online 2 weeks before your arrival with every youth and adult staying in camp, as well as phone numbers for each individual. To facilitate mid-week visitor check-in, include anyone you know that will be visiting your unit while at camp. If needed, you will be given an appointment time to review fees and registration later on in the day. Scoutmasters and all other adult leaders will attend a roundtable meeting at 3pm in the Program Center for an overview of the week ahead. When the Scouts leave the parking lot, Scoutmasters are invited to use one vehicle at a time to transport troop gear to the campsite, unload, and return the vehicle to the parking lot. Trailers and vehicles are not allowed to remain in campsites. Monday-Start Week Troops should arrive at 7:30am having eaten their breakfast beforehand and prepare to hike into camp. Scoutmasters head straight to the check-in table with their unit paperwork. Your Troop Guide and Commissioner will meet you in the parking lot at 8:00am to begin the camp tour. Saturday Arrivals Saturday arrival is available to units traveling more than 4 hours or who, for religious reasons, cannot travel on Sundays. Check-in time on Saturday is after 5pm at the upper parking lot.

The Scouts will then go to swim checks and health checks at the waterfront. Scouts may go to any merit badge they wish on Monday without signing up. * Climbing, mountain biking & boarding, small-boat sailing, and welding programs are filled with a lottery system on Sunday evening. Scouts arriving on Monday for a Sunday-Start week who would like to be included in the lottery for activities or merit badges with class size limits must sign-up one week prior to your arrival through your online registration.

4 Med & Swim Checks During the camp tour your staff guide will include a stop to have the medicals checked and be given a buddy tag and then go to Lake Hanel where Scouts and adults can take their swim checks. These swim checks must be performed at camp and rechecked each summer. Adults who wish to participate in waterfront activities including rafting, and windsurfing can request a swim check during open program on Monday Please visit the Health Officer beforehand to have your medical form checked and receive a buddy tag. Fire Drill and Camp-wide Dinner We will hold a camp fire drill at 6p.m. Sunday, during which all persons in camp need to report to the parade grounds in official uniform, ready for flag ceremony and dinner. We recommend bringing your flashlight and sweatshirt as there will not be time to return to your campsite after dinner before campfire. Sunday dinner will be served as a camp-wide meal shortly after the drill. Fire Drill and Lunch (on Monday start week) We will hold a camp fire drill at 12pm Monday, during which all persons in camp need to report to the parade grounds ready for flag ceremony and lunch.

Monday lunch will be served as a camp-wide meal shortly after the drill. Merit Badge Midway Following Sunday dinner is the opportunity for scouts to sign-up for horse rides, high adventure programs, and merit badges. Programs with class size limits conduct a lottery after sign-ups have been counted. This is a time for youth to plan and think about what they want their schedule to be, giving the scout the opportunity to learn about scheduling and gain the tools to plan out a week. It is also a great time to meet and talk with instructors about the different merit badges offered. If a scout does not have the time or whishes to choose a different merit badges after signing up, they are welcome to attend any class that doesn't have a limit. Online registration for merit badges and program activities is available. Our counselors use the sign-up numbers to allocate resources where needed. Scouts signed-up for activities with class size limits will be included in a lottery after Merit Badge Midway Chapel and Campfire The finale on Sunday evening will be a chapel service and followed by a rousing campfire program a great way to start off the week! Guests & Mid-Week Arrivals/Departures Adults or scouts arriving or departing at anytime during the week are required to go to the Business Office to sign in or out. Anyone arriving during the week must park in the upper parking lot and go to the Business Office for check in. Vehicles are not permitted in camp during the week, so please pack accordingly; we encourage your scouts to do a good turn and assist with moving the new arrivals gear to your campsite. To simplify the process make sure they are listed on the official troop roster you turned in at registration. If their names are not on the roster we will need an adult leader from your troop to walk to the Business Office to verify that the arriving adult or scout is expected at camp. If the troop has not paid for the arriving leader or scout ahead of time, the fee will need to be paid when they check in.

If the scout has a great experience he is highly more likely to stay involved in Scouting and in your troop for a long time to come. A scout s success is dependent on older scouts and adult leader involvement. Older Scouts that help out can also work on their Life Rank requirement of using the EDGE method. We encourage all adults and older Scouts to come and support young Scouts on their journey. Trail to First Class Camp Baldwin has built a culture of service through our daily flag presentations, American Heritage campfire program, and staff pride in doing our best to be leaders for our Scouts. As Scouters we are all called upon to serve our country by being model citizens. To be great members of our communities we must learn core scouting skills to improve ourselves. The Trail to First Class program aims to develop the scouting skills of our newest Scouts through service and citizenship to the camp, their units, and country. The Trail to First Class program is a 2-hour block class designed for first-year campers to get acclimated to scouting. Scouts will work on requirements from Scout through First Class Rank with our dedicated area staff to get them prepared for the journey to Eagle Scout. As they work on rank advancement the class will also work on Citizenship in the Nation merit badge to tie their service experience with their trail to eagle.

12 COOKING Baldwin features a program that places emphasis on strengthening the patrol right down to how they eat their meal. Cooking together is a proven way for young men to bond and to gain teamwork, leadership skills, and self-confidence. Your troop will become a stronger cohesive unit and young leaders will emerge with the patrol method put into practice. Meals Strengthening patrols with patrol cooking The most important feature at Baldwin is the opportunity to develop teamwork using a fundamental part of Baden Powell s Patrol Method cooking together as patrols in the campsite. Jamboree style is utilized with each patrol being provided the food ingredients and most of the equipment necessary to prepare well-balanced meals. Your troop guide and commissioner will be on-hand to help patrols have an enjoyable experience as they learn the ins and outs of outdoor cooking. Young and older patrols alike are strengthened as patrol members work together, use patrol duty rosters, and succeed in cooking great meals in the outdoors! Wise Scoutmasters embrace patrol cooking, and take full advantage of the unique teaching and learning opportunities it provides. Baldwin provides easy-to-use menus and quality food products to ensure Scouts can be successful. See Baldwin Menu Packet for more details. Cooking A camp stove with fuel is provided for each patrol site in a campsite. Units may bring their own stoves and propane tanks for cooking or rent additional tanks and stoves from the camp. The first tank of fuel is provided free of charge and additional fuel is available at the current market value. Firewood for campfire cooking can be found in the brush around campsites but it becomes scarce as the summer progresses. Our summers can be very dry and the State Forestry Department will enforce a fire ban during high fire danger times which prohibits even charcoal use in your campsite. If this occurs, your camping stoves are the only alternative for cooking in your campsite. There is a central charcoal fire pit at the food service area that is available for use throughout the summer. Menus Menus are designed to provide balanced nutrition, ease of cooking, and allows patrols to work together. A copy of the camp menu is available in the back of this program guide. If you would like to bring in additional ingredients or to alter your meal you are welcome to do so. Please remember the design of the menu and our campsite cooking program is to always bring the focus on our Scouts and their growth. Allow the Scouts to learn through their own decision making. Food Pickup Twice daily, commissary staff will deliver food boxes to a food stop near most campsites; the three campsites closest to the commissary (Tamarack, Palamino, & Colt Island) pick up their food at the commissary. Each patrol needs to take an empty milk crate (they get the first one full of staple goods) to the pick-up site. There they exchange the empty crate for one full of food portioned just right for the patrol. Please notify the commissary if you are receiving an improper amount of food. With your help we can feed everyone well without waste. Commissary Equipment Dutch oven Cook kit (pots and pans) Cook s utensil kit Dishwashing tubs Dunk bag Cooler (one per patrol) Griddle Camp Stove All commissary items are checked-out upon arrival and returned to the Commissary Friday. Your patrol leader will be asked to sign for the equipment your troop receives at the campsite. Equipment will already be present in the campsite upon arrival. See Baldwin Menu Packet for more details Each youth and adult will need to bring their own mess kit and utensils. Cooking Merit Badge Scouts interested in fulfilling as much of the Cooking merit badge at camp will need to look through the Cooking Merit Badge Packet included on our website and Program Guide.
