Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation Camp Guide For Scout Leaders 2018
This leader guide is for both Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts to use. The process to plan, prepare, and attend camp is the same in both programs. We are doing this so that the transition from our Younger Scout Program to our Older Scout Program will be smoother for the scout, parents, leaders, and units.
