2 A MESSAGE FROM THE CAMP LEADERSHIP TEAM Dear Unit Leader, November 1, 2012 Welcome to the 46 th summer of Camp Chief Little Turtle Boy Scout Resident Camp. This summer camp experience for our youth is one of the most important and cherished parts of the scouting program. The purpose of Scout Camp is what happens inside the campers. What they take home with them in their memories, in their new purposes, in their improved or newly acquired skills, in their friendships, and in their appreciations. It is the mission of Camp Chief Little Turtle to serve others by helping to instill values in young people and in other ways to prepare them to make ethical choices over their lifetime in achieving their fullest potential through the outdoor program. Camp Chief Little Turtle is a full service resident Boy Scout Camp and home to its 1200 acres of unspoiled woodland that serves as the ultimate laboratory for the experience of Scout summer camping. A fully trained and prepared staff is on hand at camp to deliver a wide variety of programs in Aquatics, First Year Camper Program, Ecology Conservation, Field Sports, Handicraft, Outdoor Skills, Shooting Sports, Buckskin program, Top Scout program, and High Adventure programs such as Project Cope, Climbing, and Repelling. Challenging merit badges and activities for the older scouts are supported through multiple program areas throughout the Camp. Camp Chief Little Turtle is always committed to the facilities at our property and truly believe that you will have the privilege to use our facilities that are second to none such as our Little Turtle Traders, a full service Trading Post offering snacks, refreshments, and general merchandise. A 290 seat air conditioned dining hall that takes care of all your culinary needs, wireless internet for our adults to keep tabs on all their needs in an air condition building and a first-class shower house with indoor plumbing to support your summer experience. The Staff and I are extremely excited about the program additions and changes being made for this season. The Anthony Wayne Area Council continues to strive for excellence to expand and experiment with different programs based on feedback we seek from adults and youth to keep our scouts coming back year after year. It is my hope that you take advantage of our First Year Campers Program, Merit Badges, including multiple Eagle required badges and programs for all campers young and advanced. We want you and other adult leaders to have fun too! Thank you for your investment in time by spending your vacation with your scouts at Camp Chief Little Turtle. The Staff and I promise to work as diligently as we can to bring your Scouts the finest summer camp experience possible. Please read this camp guide carefully and feel free to contact me if there are any questions of if you need additional information. I look forward to seeing you!

4 The Camp Chief Little Turtle Legend Long ago, when Chief Little Turtle was a young man, he discovered white men clearing the land and building log homes along the Pi- geon River. Concerned, he spoke with the tribe s Medicine man who told him to fast and cleanse his body. After several days, the Great Spirit ap- peared to Little Turtle in the form of a Great Blue Heron. The Heron told him to craft a bow and four arrows, each with a different color arrowhead. One was to be white, one yellow, one black and one red. From the highest hill, he was to shoot the arrows in the four direc- tions, north, south, east and west. That land would one day return to the state it was during the time of the Indians. In the 1960 s the Anthony Wayne Area Council Boy Scouts were seeking a new camp. Hearing of a property north of Fort Wayne, the committee went to visit. While walking the east boundary, a stone caught the eye of Bill Hall and Dr. Art Hoffman. Digging it out, they discovered a black ar- rowhead. Taking this as a good sign, the Board bought the property. While building the south entrance, Cook Lockheed discovered a yellow arrowhead. And most recently, Ranger Jack Zeiger found a white arrow- head nestled in the roots of a tree while clearing the site at Deer Camp on the north end. The fourth arrowhead is believed to be in Wilderness Camp on the west side. While the fourth arrowhead has never been found, our quest continues. It has come to symbolize reaching for lofty goals, gaining new knowledge and working together with our friends and fellow Scouts. All of this is done while having fun and testing our Scouting skills.

ELIGIBILITY: The Turtle Quest Program is open to all first year scouts. The program is specifically designed to work with Scouts who crossed over from Webelos to Boy Scouts in the spring. It is NOT mandatory that the first-year Scouts participate in this program. The Turtle Quest Program is geared for young Scouts who have not yet achieved Tenderfoot Rank and need to learn the basic skills. It is not as requirement driven as the merit badge program and focuses on basic skills and the use of the patrol method. The unit leader is the best judge of which Scouts would benefit most from the program. PROGRAM: The Turtle Quest Program is a full morning (3 sessions) week long program designed to utilize the patrol method while exposing Scouts to many basic Scout skills and exploring different areas of our camp. The day consists of basic Scouting skill development while having fun and adventure. A full time Turtle Quest staff will be devoted to work with the first year scouts. Unit leaders are highly encouraged to assist with the program. The focus of this program is NOT on rank advancement, but on the basic skills of patrol method, first aid, orienteering, knots, and nature. Scouts will be organized into patrols for the week with scouts from other units. The Turtle Quest Program begins by developing the patrol through teamwork style games and learning about their fellow Scouts. They will also be put in charge and have tasks that they will need to complete in their patrols with assistance of Turtle Quest staff. The Scouts will utilize the skills they learn, in their special activities that take them around many areas of camp. The scouts will be introduced and work with many scout skills, but staff will not be signing off requirement, leaders are responsible for reviewing and signing off skills.

26 Summer camp is not a merit badge mill where you pay a fee and get badges automatically. The most difficult badges to earn are those that require a great deal of physical skill, coordination and stamina. Examples would be Lifesaving, Rifle Shooting, Archery, and Climbing. Some badges and programs require self-discipline and maturity to be successful experiences. Examples would be Environmental Science, Swimming & Water Rescue, Paddle Craft Safety and Project C.O.P.E. Scouts should come to camp prepared. Scouts should read the merit badge books and do all the prerequisites listed on the following pages. Prerequisites already signed off by Scoutmaster or designee will be accepted. Leaders should encourage Scouts to not fill up their day with strictly merit badges. No more than three to four merit badges are encouraged for a week at camp. Less are recommended if some require multiple sessions. Give them a reason to come back next year! MERIT BADGES Please take time to review the merit badges and additional information and share this with your Scouts as they select with your guidance their activity schedule for this summer. The master merit badge schedule indicates all the badges offered, times and duration of the badge or program, and class size limits. The detailed merit badge section provides additional information including: location, prerequisites, age recommendations, required materials, costs if any, and helpful hints. MERIT BADGE SIGN-UP FORM: Merit Badge signup forms are located in the CCLT Registration Packet and with online registration. The troop must submit one copy of the merit badge sign-up form by or t the two-week out meeting. Each Scout will sign up on an individual basis using the Merit Badge Code located on pages This information will allow the camp to make needed changes to staffing, program equipment and supplies. Any problems with your Scouts schedule will be discussed at the leaders meeting on Sunday, 7:00 pm at the Larsen Lodge Dining Hall. NOTE: Some classes have a maximum number of scouts allowed per session. Registration is first-come first served. Scoutmaster will be able to print individual scout merit badge schedules from the on-line system,. Link to NEW on-line registration program will be available at A helpful hint: Scouts may at any time during the week pick up additional badges by talking with the merit badge counselors. The staff will do their very best to accommodate these Scouts and help them complete the badge. The Scouts have the responsibility to ask the counselors to join a merit badge and what work they might have to accomplish to catch up with the other Scouts. Age Appropriateness: Those Merit Badges and open activities with age limits are noted on pages BLUE CARDS: Scout will need to provide Blue Card to Merit Badge Counselor. Blue Cards will be completed by Merit Badge Counselors/Area Directors and provided in the unit check-out packet. Unit Leaders can complete Blue Cards for their scouts and bring to CCLT. The Scoutmaster will receive an advancement summary prior to departure on Saturday, noting completes and partials. It is the unit leaders responsibility to take this information back to their Advancement Chairman to receive awards.

27 Introduction to Merit Badges You can learn about sports, crafts, science, trades, business, and future careers as you earn merit badges. There are more than 100 merit badges. Any Boy Scout may earn any merit badge at any time. You don't need to have had rank advancement to be eligible. Pick a Subject. Talk to your Scoutmaster about your interests. Read the requirements of the merit badges you think might interest you. Pick one to earn. Your Scoutmaster will give you the name of a person from a list of counselors. These counselors have special knowledge in their merit badge subjects and are interested in helping you. Scout Buddy System. You must have another person with you at each meeting with the merit badge counselor. This person can be another Scout, your parents or guardian, a brother or sister or other relative, or a friend. Call the Counselor. Get a signed merit badge application from your Scoutmaster. Get in touch with the merit badge counselor and tell him or her that you want to earn the merit badge. The counselor may ask to meet you to explain what is expected of you and to start helping you meet the requirements. You should also discuss work that you have already started or possibly completed. Unless otherwise specified, work for a requirement can be started at any time. Ask your counselor to help you learn the things you need to know or do. You should read the merit badge pamphlet on the subject. Many troops and school or public libraries have them. Show Your Stuff. When you are ready, call the counselor again to make an appointment to meet the requirements. When you go take along the things you have made to meet the requirements. If they are too big to move, take pictures or have an adult tell in writing what you have done. The counselor will ask you to do each requirement to make sure that you know your stuff and have done or can do the things required. Get the Badge. When the counselor is satisfied that you have met each requirement, he or she will sign your application. Give the signed application to your Scoutmaster so that your merit badge emblem can be secured for you. Requirements. You are expected to meet the requirements as they are stated no more and no less. You are expected to do exactly what is stated in the requirements. If it says "show or demonstrate," that is what you must do. Just telling about it isn't enough. The same thing holds true for such words as "make," "list," "in the field," and "collect," "identify," and "label." The requirements listed here are the official requirements of the Boy Scouts of America. However, the requirements presented here might not match those in the Boy Scout Handbook and the merit badge pamphlets, because these requirements are updated only when the Boy Scout Requirements book is updated. The only significant difference is that as new merit badges are introduced, the requirements are posted here. If a Scout has already started working on a merit badge when a new edition of the pamphlet is introduced, he should continue to use the same merit badge pamphlet and fulfill the requirements therein to earn the badge. He need not start all over again with the new pamphlet and possibly revised requirements. Source:
