3 Dane G. Hansen Scout Reservation Celebrating 48 years of Scouting Dear Scoutmasters and troop leaders: Scouting is a series of building blocks that enables a Scout to accomplish one skill at a time, constantly building his confidence in his abilities until his character is structured. Scouting is also a series of pride circles for you as you observe with joy a Scout s accomplishments while under your guidance. Lord Baden-Powell stated that the true measure of the success of a summer camp program is whether it enables a Troop to stand on its own using boy leadership. Camp activities such as merit badge classes, vesper services, hiking trails and campfires are only resources in pursuit of Scouting s real aims: Character Development, Physical Fitness, and Citizenship. These three aims are the basis of Scouting s mission, and our objective at Camp Hansen is to do everything we can to help make your Troop even stronger as a result of our 2014 Coronado Area Council Boy Scout Resident Camp Program. We welcome you to camp and look forward to sharing the Summer Camp experience with you and your Scouts. Sincerely, Camp Director & Your Camp Hansen Staff Coronado Area Council, B.S.A. Scouting is three-quarters -outing Lord Baden-Powell,

10 2014 BOY SCOUT RESIDENT CAMP CAMP HANSEN MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS & POLICIES All persons attending camp must use the BSA Medical Form provided Scoutmasters and signed by an appropriate licensed medical practitioner. It is recommended that the troop leader collect medical forms before arriving at camp and check to see that they are properly filled out with signatures and discuss with the parent/guardian any medical concerns. It is also recommended that the parent/guardian make a copy to keep at home. All medical forms, youth and adult, will be retained on file in the Health Lodge. BSA Medical forms are available in the Leaders Form Guide and online. The Health Officer will check to see that medical forms are current and signed when the troop signs into camp. The Health Officer will issue buddy tags for swimming to those campers with properly signed health forms. The Health Officer will also check COPE and Climbing/Rappelling class rosters and approved participants. Scout and adults staying in camp more than 72 consecutive hours, (parts A, B, and C need to be completed), are required to have had a medical examination within the last 12 months. Scout and adults staying in camp for less than 72 hours, Parts A and B are to be completed. The Health and Medical Form must be on file with the Health Officer. Scouts and leaders with RISK FACTORS may not be issued a buddy tag for aquatics or allowed to participate in COPE/Climbing activities. Soon after arrival in camp, each camper will receive a medical screening. Any scout or leader currently under a doctor s care is required to notify the Health Officer regarding the ailment and should provide a written course of treatment by the physician. All prescribed medications will be turned over to the Health Officer who will provide locked storage and refrigeration if necessary (inhalers, bee sting kits and nitro tablets will be an exception). Mandatory Standard 20 Prescription drugs must be in the original bottle that lists the medication, doctor s orders, dosage, and doctor s name. If the parent wants to put medication in a daily dispenser, the parent must still have the Scout bring the original bottle that lists the dosage and doctor s name with at least one pill still in the bottle for the Camp Health Officer to use as a reference. Health Lodge and Emergencies: We maintain a Health Lodge at camp, staffed full time by a certified first aid provider. It is the Health Officer s responsibility to determine if an injury is more serious than normal first aid and requires medical attention. Special arrangements have been made with the Phillips County Hospital to treat any such injuries or illness. The camp reserves the right to send a Scout/leader to a hospital for diagnosis and subsequent treatment. Whenever possible, a reasonable effort will be made to notify a parent or guardian before such action is taken. Scouts Taking Medication The health officer will notify leaders of Scouts in their troops taking medications. It is the responsibility of the troop leader to see that the Scout takes the medication at the health lodge. NOTE: School physicals and/or school physical forms are not acceptable Boy Scout Resident Camp Physicals (form). PLEASE, do not attach a school physical (form) to the 2014 Health and Medical Record Form. 10

11 2014 BOY SCOUT RESIDENT CAMP CAMP HANSEN Merit Badge Information Trail to Eagle Registration: Trail to Eagle registration will be held at the Chapel on Sunday evening. Trail to Eagle Program: The Trail to Eagle Program will meet almost all Tenderfoot to First Class Requirements. First Aid and Swimming merit badges are encompassed in the Trail to Eagle Program. Cooking Merit Badge - two requirements are completed in the Trail to Eagle Program. This program is scheduled so a first year scout can earn one to three extra merit badges. Scouts can earn merit badges in the morning and afternoon after the Trail to Eagle program. Scoutcraft skills are offered in the morning and aquatic and first aid skills in the afternoon in the Trail to Eagle Program. Merit Badge Program Schedule & Prerequisites: The schedule of merit badges offered during the camp and the prerequisites Scouts need to do prior to camp will be available at the February Roundtables. This information may be available on line. Merit badge lesson worksheets can be downloaded from ( These worksheets follow the requirements as outlined in the 2014 Boy Scout Requirement booklet on sale at the Service Center Scout Shop. Troops should purchase these booklets annually. Some merit badges take more time (and academic work) than others, and some badges are difficult to earn for younger Scouts. Scouts should be aware of merit badge requirements before they re allowed to register Sunday night and have read the merit badge pamphlets. Because there are a minimum number of merit badge pamphlets available at the camp trading post, Scouts should bring their merit badge pamphlets with them. Class Participation Size: To ensure quality instruction, merit badge and other program sessions will have a maximum participation size. A merit badge class with 30 Scouts doesn t help your Scouts or our Staff. Scouts will register for merit badges at camp on Sunday evening with older Scouts registering first. There is no limit on Trail to Eagle classes. Block Style Program There is a two-hour block of time each morning and afternoon on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. The times are 8:30 10:30 and 2:00 4:00. Four two-hour blocks of time are offered. Some merit badges will take one block of time, some will only take one-half block of time and merit badges like Communications/Journalism will take two blocks of time. The advantage of this program is less moving around camp between merit badges and more instruction time. A Scout will be in a merit badge class twice with the block schedule instead of five times on the hourly schedule. Thursday becomes an open day in the morning (except for Trail to Eagle) and allows time for: Golden Eagle instruction/practice, time to bring in outside programs, out of camp field trips or time for Scouts to continue to work on merit badges since all program areas are still open. 11

However we do not have the staff, equipment or time to provide this training to every Scout. The number one reason for partials for aquatic merit badges a few summers ago was lack of CPR training. Troops are encouraged to offer this training to Scouts before camp. You need to find a currently certified CPR Instructor or an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) or a higher medical training to offer CPR training. Read carefully the requirement as it reads in the current merit badge book. Scouts must bring a note from their CPR trainer that they have completed this requirement. Remember this is CPR training, not certification 16
