Additionally, the Leader s Guide has copies of required documents needed for camp. You can find a copy at www.bsacoloadoadventure.org or email me and I can send you a copy.

John Braselton Welcome from the Program Director Hello! My name is Jared Luer and I will be serving as Program Director for Camp Tahosa during the 2018 camping season. I am very excited to celebrate our 80 th Anniversary and would like to thank you for choosing to celebrate it with us. I have served for the past three summers at Camp Tahosa as COPE Director, and I am very much looking forward to returning for another amazing summer. On top of our EaglePoint program and specialty areas during the day, we are offering a wide variety of evening programs that include time on the lake, archery range, and our COPE course. Our neature hikes (nature and features) will give Scouts a chance to get out on the trail for an hour and learn a few things about mother nature while they are at it. I look forward to seeing you this summer! Come home! Jared Luer 2

EaglePoint focuses on Summer Camp being at your own pace! Make your own schedule, do what classes you want and enjoy the week at camp! Troop-Led Merit Badges Camp Program Schedule The highlight of Tahosa s EaglePoint schedule is the ability for troops to teach their own merit badges on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday during any of the merit badge times. Units need to be prepared to teach Merit Badges (or do an activity or rank advancement) if the Scouts do not select one of the staff-led merit badges. In some cases, staff may be able to assist with teaching, but this depends on sign up of staff-led badges. Troop-Led Merit Badges follow the camp class schedule. Classes can be conducted in a class period which lasts for 90 minutes. Tahosa has limited supplies to aid teaching. Email camp.tahosa@scouting.org prior to camp to see if the supplies are available. If not, supplies will need to be provided by the unit. Cooking Merit Badge is a great badge to work on while at Camp Tahosa! Camp Tahosa will provide the food only. Units will need to provide cooking supplies (stoves, cookware, utensils, cleaning supplies etc.). Sunday dinner, Friday dinner and Saturday breakfast must be in the dining hall. PLEASE NOTIFY CAMP TAHOSA TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO YOUR CAMP WEEK IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COOK IN YOUR CAMPSITE. Please indicate which meals. Cycling is another great badge that can be worked on at Camp Tahosa! Scouts are encouraged to bring their own bikes. Helmets are required. Camp Tahosa has a limited supply of bikes that can be rented for $5 per day. This is on a first-come first-served basis. Fishing on Tumbleson Lake is a great way to experience Camp Tahosa and Colorado. Tumbleson Lake is stocked with lots of fish. Please bring your own poles, bait and tackle. Some poles are available to rent for $5 for the week and the Trading Post sells Kastmaster and Powerbait which works the best. 4

Staff-Led Merit Badges Camp Tahosa offers several Staff-Led Merit Badges and Programs. Scouts can choose which class they would like to take. Sign up i online through Doubleknot. Classes follow the camp class schedule. Class periods last 90 minutes. Below is what we offer, and the class period we offer it.
