4 Camp Overview The summer camp program at Seven Ranges is designed to provide the adventure, fun, and activities that are promised to every youth that joins Scouting. While at camp, Scouts have the opportunity to put into action, the skills that they have practiced year-round within your unit program. is operated by the Buckeye Council, Inc., Boy Scouts of America. It is located in Northern Carroll County and encompasses nearly 1,000 acres of rolling hills, woods, meadows, lakes, and ponds. Reservation is the proper term used to describe a large tract of land that has multiple camping facilities. On the, we have Camp Algonkin, Camp Calumet, Camp Akela, and several other activity areas that are utilized year-round. Contact the Buckeye Council office for a full description of the facilities and off-season rates. Camp Algonkin Camp Algonkin is Buckeye Council s premier Boy Scout camping destination and the largest of the 3 camps on the reservation. It houses 25 beautifully groomed campsites, including one specially designed for Scouts with special needs. Each campsite is adjacent to a covered latrine and washstand. Campsite furnishings include: standard BSA Canvas Wall Tents, pitched on wooden platforms and steel cots. Modern hot water showers are located in close proximity to campsites. Camp Algonkin is home to the newly remodeled Frank G. Hoover Dining Hall and kitchen facility; the Deaver Administration Building which house offices and a complete first-aid facility; three woodland lodges housing the I.W. Delp Ecology Center and Handicraft Department; and areas for Field Sports, Outdoor Skills, a 40+ acre lake for Waterfront Activities and a Low C.O.P.E. course for older campers. pg. 4

5 Camp Akela Camp Akela is home to the Buckeye Council s Webelos and Cub Resident Camps. The Akela pavilion provides dining facilities, indoor restrooms, and acts as the main gathering spot in camp. Camp Akela has a beautiful amphitheater overlooking the Schoolhouse Pond, three spacious camping areas, and a large activity field. A recently added field sports area gives Webelos and Cub Scouts the opportunity to shoot BB guns and/or bows and arrows, under the supervision of a trained range officer. Nearby, you will find the Action obstacle course, paintball, rock throwing range, and sling shot range. Camp Calumet Camp Calumet is a primitive camping area for those troops who wish to partake in troop or patrol cooking. The camp contains four rustic campsites, two of which have latrine and washstand facilities, an amphitheater overlooking Lake Don Brown, and refrigerators and freezers for food storage. Camp Calumet can accommodate four units per week and all share the program areas in Camp Algonkin. Turkey Ridge Turkey Ridge is a portion of the reservation dedicated to off-season, primitive camping. Six different campsites offer areas for both tent and Adirondack camping. The Summer Camp program will occasionally utilize portions of this area for Merit Badge campouts. For more information about the availability of Turkey Ridge and how your unit can utilize this area, please visit the camp office. pg. 5

A New Cub/Webelo Scout and His Adult Parent Care and feeding of the Webelos Scout and his adult partner are very important. This is possibly a Scout s first experience away from home and a parent s first time in a camp situation with their Scout. It is the Webelos Leader s duty to see that each new camper, young and old, has a happy, healthy, and hearty time at camp. Homesickness should be dealt with by the parent or Webelos Leader or brought to the attention of the Akela Camp Director. The best cure seems to be: Keep them busy with fun stuff! Cars in Camp Absolutely no vehicles are permitted through the clearly marked gate into central camp. All equipment brought must be carried back to your assigned campsite. The only exceptions are designated camp vehicles. All other vehicles must remain in the parking lot. Dietary Needs & Special Medications Special restrictions, physical, dietary, medications or other special needs must be clearly noted on the health history form.

15 Leaving Camp Scouts If a need arises for a Scout (Cub or Webelo) to leave the reservation during his camp session, the following policy (in accordance with the National BSA Policy) must be followed. This policy, has been put into effect in order to protect the safety of all Scouts attending Cub Resident 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 is responsible for the safety of all Cub/Webelos during unit functions. The unit leader in all cases prior to the Cub/Webelos Scout leaving camp must advise the Akela Camp Director of the situation. A parent or legal guardian, the unit leader AND the Cub/Webelos Scout must present themselves as a group to the Akela Camp Director or his delegate and file the appropriate release forms which are available in the Reservation office. Any person other than the parent or legal guardian is unauthorized to transport a Cub/Webelos Scout off of the reservation without the consent of a parent or legal guardian, the unit leader, AND the Akela Camp Director. The Director will request the identification of any person transporting a Cub/Webelos Scout off of the reservation. Please give the Akela Camp Director notice of anyone NOT ALLOWED to take the Scout out of the camp. In the event of an emergency requiring immediate medical attention that results in the Webelos Scout being transported from the reservation, the Akela Camp Director or his delegate will promptly notify the parent(s) or legal guardian(s). Adults Occasionally the need arises for an adult leader to leave the reservation during their time at camp. In this case, adult leaders MUST make other leaders and the Akela Camp Director aware of their departure and expected time of return. Adults must also sign in and out at the Akela Pavilion. There must be two adult leaders in camp at all times. pg. 15

16 Youth Protection & Two Deep Leadership -In accordance with BSA policy, all dens or packs must have at least two leaders in camp at all times, one of which must be at least 21 years old. -Separate shower facilities are provided for leaders and Cub/Webelos. -Adults may not share sleeping accommodations with boys unless the adult is the boy s natural parent. -Leaders must have completed Youth Protection Training prior to the start of camp. You can take the training online at Myscouting.org. - To Keep in line with the Algonkin side of camp and the youth protection guidelines, the same restricted shower house hours apply to Camp Akela. BALOO/OWL Training These training are required for any adult who oversees planning a pack campout, and it is required that at least one adult per pack complete BALOO training in order to attend WRC or Cub Camp. OWL - Outdoor Webelos Leader Training is for all Webelos leaders. Buckeye Council will provide a training at Camp Akela on May 12-13, Emergency Plan Emergencies include lost campers, lost bather, forest fires, structure fires, floods, earthquakes, chemical spills, tornados, and severe weather. Campers will be notified of an emergency by the following signals: -Continuous ringing of the fire bell, -The cannon being fired three (3) times, - Emergency bugle call being played again and again over the P.A. system. If you are anywhere in Camp Akela, return to your campsite. Stay in your campsite. If you happen to be in Camp Algonkin, either swimming or at the Trading Post, go to the parade grounds in front of the Dining Hall. A Staff member will be around to check on each pack. Report anyone missing (not in sight) to the staff member. Remain in campsite until told to do otherwise. If any other actions need to be taken, a staff member will come to your campsite and inform the leaders of the situation and the necessary steps to be done. pg. 16

17 Lost Camper Follow the basic emergency plan. Do not go looking for the camper. The only thing worse than a lost camper, is two lost campers. Tornado or Severe Weather If the weather gets too bad or there is severe weather, campers will be told to report to the Akela Pavilion. Earthquake Unfortunately, we cannot predict earthquakes or give advanced warnings of them. If an earthquake happens, stay calm and report to your campsite. A staff member will be around to see if everyone is all right and to check on any damages. Floods If a flood is going to occur while at camp, it will be handled by either sending the packs home or heading for higher ground in camp. Fire DO NOT FIGHT FIRES. In structural fires (fires to buildings), let a staff member know and evacuate the building. In the case of a forest fire, follow the basic emergency plan. If the fire endangers your campsite. Report to the road between the Akela Pavilion and the Schoolhouse Pond. Again, DO NOT FIGHT FIRES. Chemical Spills If a chemical spill occurs, the action taken will depend on the chemical itself, where it has spilled, how much has spilled, and the severity of the spill. In case of emergency, adults should keep their car keys with them at all times! Camp Honors H.A.W.K. Award As a new year begins for Webelos Resident Camp, an exciting tradition will continue. This tradition is exclusive to Buckeye Council and is for all youth and adult campers who participate in Webelos Resident Camp. It calls upon the knowledge and loyalty of all those willing to honor Akela. At a ceremony of wonder, filled with the symbolism of Scouting s past, present, and future, participants will receive their H.A.W.K. award. The hawk, in the Native American culture, is a messenger, and will again convey its worthy message to all those who earn it. The message is this: Honor Akela With Knowledge. First and Second year ceremonies are planned by the Order of the Arrow and the Akela Program Director. pg. 17

18 The H.A.W.K. award is a camp honor award and is given to ALL Webelos and Leaders who attend WRC. It is earned only by freely attending camp and trying your best. This will be demonstrated by the Scout by his participation in the swim check, participating in the appropriate activity pin or other award program, and his participation in all camp activities. It is not to be earned as the result of a competition or keeping score in any way. It is a Do Your Best! Camp Honor. *The H.A.W.K. ceremony will happen at the H.A.W.K. circle rain or shine so prepare for the weather. Other Program Notes - Although the program is already predetermined, any songs, skits, cheers, or anything else a pack wants to do will be encouraged and appreciated. - All swim checks will be made on the first day of camp. Everyone should try to do the swim check. - Webelos Activities Pins requirements will be offered at WRC; however, time is always built in to the schedule to allow a unit to complete additional requirements on their own. - Siesta is a mandated period each afternoon and is a time for both campers and staff to get a break and get some time to prepare for the upcoming evening. Campers must remain in their campsites during this time. All program areas are closed during siesta. - Any packs wishing to do a retreat ceremony (flag lowering) should let the Akela Program Director know as soon as possible. The Scouts will be asked to show that they can do it properly. - There will be a shooting sports safety meeting following the Day One leader meeting. Everyone must attend in order to participate in the program. - There will be a Whittlin Chit course during open program. If a Scout does not have his Whittlin Chit, he may bring a knife to camp IF a leader has possession of it. The knife may be returned to the Scout upon earning his Whittlin Chit. Religious Relations Everyone knows about the outing in Scouting, but what about the SC? It relates to the twelfth point of the Scout Law, a Scout is Reverent. SC represents Spiritual Character. To help, 7R will offer the following opportunities for Scouts and Leaders. Leaders What do I do with the Religious Emblems Program?

New Scouts attending their first year will have the opportunity to complete the anchor patch. Upon completion of the program, Leaders are required to fill out the Duty to God form and have to obtain the camp chaplains signature. You will have to have this form in order to purchase the patches in the trading post. Volunteer Camp Chaplaincy Program Any adult leaders that are ordained or have a religious education background that would like to assist the camp chaplain while in camp please contact the camp chaplain. Religious Emblems The religious emblems programs are created by the various religious groups to encourage youth to grow stronger in their faith. The religious organization, not the Boy Scouts of America, have created the religious emblems program. The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the recognition to be worn on the official uniform. Each of the religious organizations develops and administers its own program. Any questions you may have on the religious emblems programs, please contact the camp chaplain or reference the websites listed below: Living on the Frontier This year s theme is to help improve your outdoor skills.

It is up to the Cub Scout leader to either test their cub Scout and/or award the pins for finishing the courses. We understand many enthusiastic Webelos attend camp having already earned the slated pins.
