Andrew Jackson Council Consolidated Camp Guide 2017-2018
General Camp Overview Welcome to Hood Scout Reservation We invite you to discover why Hood Scout Reservation was named one of the top 8 summer camps in the country in the Scouting Magazine Guide To Cool Camps. To have a successful experience and fun at camp, Scouts need to plan carefully. Many merit badges require preparation before or after your week at camp. It is the responsibility of the Camp Staff to instruct requirements that can be completed at camp. A completion or a partial with uncompleted requirements are given to Scoutmasters the last day of camp or are available online at www.bsa-jackson.org. Every effort will be made to inform Scouts on their progress throughout the week. Leaders are encouraged to visit with camp staff. Reservations for limited size sessions will be taken on a first come, first serve basis. The Camp Staff will make every effort to resolve scheduling conflicts for the Scout to obtain his goal. Most merit badges can be completed at camp, but due to time requirements, special projects, or other considerations; some merit badges require additional work at home before and/or after camp. Some merit badges are age-restricted, require pre-requisites and/or special skill levels. Refer to the merit badge listing for these considerations. Our dynamic programing includes the following and more. Aquatics Paddle Boarding Sailing Waterskiing Motor Boating ATV Riding Mountain Boarding Mountain Biking Pistol Rock Climbing Shotgun Rifle Rappelling COPE Course Ecology Climbing Arts Dual Zip Line Swing by Choice Dual Water Slides Blob Camp Objectives -Provide advancement opportunities for Scouts -Familiarize youth with the Scouting program through the outdoor experience -Stimulate Troop programming before, during, and after attending camp -To have FUN 2
