Note from the Program Director

Dear Campers,

Thank you very much for choosing to spend your 2018 Cub Scout summer camp experience with us at Camp Ware. We have a fantastic summer staff that will deliver an excellent program for you this summer.

The following program guide is designed to help introduce leaders, Scouts, and parents to the Cub Scout Program available during the week at camp. I highly encourage adult leaders to read the camp’s Leader’s Guide, also available through the council webpage.

The Camp Ware program continues to improve each year. As you are planning your week, please take note of changes to the 2018 requirements, and our new offerings.

I hope you are as excited about this summer as the Camp Ware staff. We look forward to seeing you at camp.

Yours in Scouting,

Matthew Gutherman, Program Director [email protected]

Camp Ware Cub Scout Advancement Policy As you begin to plan your summer camp experiences with Camp Ware, we

know it is important to know what advancement will be offered at camp this summer. The following guide outlines the program and advancement we plan on offering throughout the camp experience. We offer a lot of opportunities for advancement. On the Advancement Trail, a Cub Scout progresses from rank to rank, learning new skills as he goes. Each of the ranks and awards in Cub Scouting has its own requirements. As you advance through the ranks, the requirements get more challenging, to match the new skills and abilities you learn as you get older. The Camp Ware staff works very hard to ensure that every camper has an unforgettable camp experience. Because of this goal, there are times that we are unable to complete all of the achievements that we planned. Please be mindful of what is covered during our session and remember that these are just our proposed achievements.

As you spend your week at camp, please make sure that you take advantage of as many of our new and exciting opportunities this summer. Summer camp is a great way for scouts to

experience everything that the Boy Scouts of America has to offer. The more opportunities you are able to take advantage of, the more memories you can create. Please enjoy your time

at Camp John H. Ware 3rd and all of your experiences in scouting.

Although the focus of a great camp experience is not solely on advancement, many boys and their families do, indeed, like to complete requirements while having fun! It gives them a great sense of accomplishment to check a few boxes at the end of their camp experience. Camp Ware is dedicated to supporting your Scouting season by supporting your program needs.


Cub Scout Recognition Cub Scouts The Camp Ware staff seeks to recognize Scouts for doing their best each day. While some tasks seem simple to adults watching, it is important to remember that those tasks may take a lot of bravery for the Scouts participating. As a way of recognizing their achievements the moment they do it, Camp Ware hands out beads for Tiger, Wolf and Bear Scouts. These beads act as a reminder throughout the week of the different accomplishments these boys have achieved. Each color bead symbolizes an activity they have undertaken at camp. Be sure to ask Scouts what their beads stand for and what they did to earn them.

Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts The Webelos Passport and AOL Challenge allow older Scouts to be recognized for their participation in the different camp activities. In order to enhance their experience, Webelos will be carrying around a Passport or Challenge pamphlet throughout their week at camp. We recognize that Webelos and Arrow Of Light Scouts will be bridging over to Boy Scouts soon and we look to help them see the Scout within them by achieving each point of the Scout Law. As they complete an activity that requires bravery, thriftiness, etc., they will fill out a short reflection and show it to a staff member. The staff member who either witnessed the positive behavior or reviews the Scout’s reflection will sign their Passport or Challenge. Scouts who complete their task by Saturday Dinner will receive special recognition for their extra effort. This program is meant to be a bridge between the Cub Scout “try” and the Boy Scout “do.” Please encourage your Webelos and AOL Scouts to participate in this rare opportunity to grow as a Scout. Your excitement in this program and your Scouts’ success will allow them to feel a higher level of achievement at camp as leaders within their packs.
