1

Mission Statement The Gulf Ridge Council, Boy Scouts of America, in collaboration with the community, operates to serve the youth of the West Central Florida Area by providing an environment where leadership opportunities, life-long skills, strong values, and morals are the outcomes for future generations. The values we try to instill are based on those found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation’s Promise to You We will do everything possible to ensure that you and your Scouts have a fun and memorable Scouting experience at Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation here in sunny Central Florida. Participation in the programs at Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation is the same for everyone without regard to disability, religion, age, color, race, or national origin.

Dear Scouts and Scout Leaders, Welcome to Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation. We are pleased to offer your Troop or Crew an excellent summer camp program for 2010. We realize the importance of the summer camp experience to the growth and development of the young people involved in Scouting. Summer camp is an important stepping stone for their advancement towards becoming an Eagle Scout. Summer camp is also an ideal place for Venturers to learn new skills and for personal development. The New COPE program introduced last year will provide scouts new experiences unlike those previously offered at Flaming Arrow. Of course, the mainstays of any Scouting program continue to offer their excitement and adventure: Aquatics, Climbing, Shooting Sports, Scoutcraft, Eagle Trail, Arts & Sciences, and Seminole Trail. We thank you for your interest in the Flaming Arrow 2010 Summer Camp program. Please use this Leader’s Guide to help with the planning of an enjoyable summer camp experience. Also, please feel free to visit www.boyscouting.com for more camping opportunities in the Gulf Ridge Council. You are Welcome to contact us at (813) 872-2691. Thank you, Kim Jones Council Camp Director [email protected] P.S. Keep your eyes and hears open for Survivor Flaming Arrow! Directed for Scouts that have already earned the rank of Eagle.

Camping is the great outdoor adventure of Scouting. As a Scout becomes at home in the outdoors, they learn some of the skills, resourcefulness, and self-reliance of the pioneer. The aims and methods of Scouting are all pertinent in the outdoor camping experience. Summer camping is perhaps the best opportunity for Scouts to fully immerse themselves in the outdoor experience. The summer camp schedule includes time for a Scout to achieve personal advancement, bond with his Troop and fellow Scouts, and participate in activities of a personal interest. All Troops should attend a summer camp program. Summer camp is vital for advancement progress, team building, and leadership development for Scouts. There is something for all ages of Scouts. First year Scouts can learn basic Scouting skills and advance towards First Class rank at summer camp. Second and third year Scouts can earn merit badges at summer camp that will help them advance towards the rank of Eagle Scout. Older Scouts and Venturers can participate in activities that will enhance self-confidence, team building, and leadership development. Older Scouts and Venturers can also answer the call to serve in the Camp staff. Finally, adult leaders have many opportunities to mentor Scouts, as well as learn a new hobby or skill, and fellowship with Scouting friends. As your Troop begins making plans for the coming year, remember to attend summer camp. If securing adequate adult leadership for a week of summer camp is a challenge, let us know. We can partner your Troop with another that has ample adult leadership. If you have Scouts that are not able to attend summer camp with your Troop for whatever reason, let us know. At Flaming Arrow, we offer Provisional Camping, which forms patrols of individual Scouts who wouldn’t otherwise have been able to attend summer camp. Provisional campers are supervised by adult volunteers and Camp staff. The bottom line is, as a Troop leader, make the commitment to provide the opportunity for ALL of your Scouts to attend summer camp in 2010. The Gulf Ridge Council is committed to helping you provide these opportunities. There are campership funds available for Gulf Ridge Council Scouts in need (more information on page 7). Provisional camping is a growing trend, especially for younger Scouts whose Troops are summer camping out of state, far away from home. We will help partner Troops together who need additional adult leadership to satisfy Youth Protection Guidelines. If you have other obstacles, please contact us at (888) 533-2775 and we will find a way to help you.

Arapaho: All Scouts and Scouters deserve the opportunity to attend Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation regardless of any disability or handicap they may have. Campsite Arapaho has been designed to accommodate Scouts and Scouters with special needs. The campsite is conveniently located in camp with sidewalks leading to the Trading Post, Dining Hall, Basketball Courts, Council Ring, Handicraft Area, Chapel, and handicap shower facility. Please notify the Camp Director when making Troop reservations if these facilities will be needed. Arapaho, Blackfoot, and Cheyenne: These campsites are equipped with bunkhouses. Bunkhouses sleep up to six individuals, for a total of twenty four people per campsite. These bunkhouses, pictured below, are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis with full payment. Hopi: Campsite Hopi will be available for those units who would like to bring their own tents. Hopi has a large amount of open space and its own restroom facility. If you have a campsite preference, make sure you get your reservation and full payment as soon as possible. The earlier we receive your reservation and payment, the better we will be able to accommodate you. Swim Classification Procedures The swim classification of individuals participating in a Boy Scouts of America activity is a key element in both Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat. All persons participating in BSA Aquatics activities are classified according to swimming ability. The classification test procedures have been developed and structured to demonstrate a skill level consistent with the circumstances in which the individual will be in the water. The Swimmer’s Test demonstrates the minimum level of swimming ability for recreation and instructional activity in a confined body of water with a maximum 12-foot depth and with shallow water footing or a pool or pier edge always within 25 feet of the swimmer. Swimmer’s Test: Jump feet first into water over the head in depth, level off, and begin swimming. Swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes: side stroke, breast stroke, trudgen, or crawl; then swim 25 yards using an easy resting back stroke. The 100 yards must be swum continuously and include at least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest by floating. Refer to Guide to Safe Scouting for test administration. Option A (at camp): Camp Aquatics Staff complete the swim classification test during the

first day of camp. Option B (at unit level with council-approved aquatics resource people): The swim

classification test done at a unit level should be conducted by one of the following: BSA Aquatics Instructor, BSA Aquatics Director, or a BSA Lifeguard.


12

This is the individual’s swim classification as of this date. Any change in status after this date would require a reclassification test by the camp Aquatics Director. Swim tests should be done every year at the beginning of the swim season. Refer to the Guide to Safe Scouting for test administration.

Special Note: When swim tests are conducted away from camp or at the point of activity, the Aquatics Director shall at all times reserve the authority to review or retest all participants to assure that standards have been maintained. (Please copy and bring completed form to camp.)

You can expect several things from your Camp Commissioners. First, any challenges that you have with your campsite will be referred to a Commissioner, whether it is not having hot water or if a tent is broken. In addition to this he or she (or a representative of theirs) will also conduct campsite inspections, using the inspection sheet at the back of this guide, as well as administer the Honor Troop Award weekly found at the back of this guide. Finally, at Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation, you can expect the Commissioners to drop off hot coffee before flag ceremony every morning.

National Guidelines

The following policies have been adopted to provide additional security for the Scouts participating in the programs. In addition, they serve to protect adult leadership from situations in which they are vulnerable to allegations of abuse. Two-deep leadership: Two registered adult leaders or one registered adult leader and a parent of a participant, one of whom must be 21 years of age or older, are required on all trips and outings. The chartered organization is responsible for ensuring that sufficient leadership is provided for all activities. No one-on-one contact: One-on-one contact between adults and youth members is not permitted. In situations that require a personal conference, such as a Scoutmaster conference, the meeting is to be conducted in view of other adults and youth. Respect of privacy: Adult leaders must respect the privacy of youth members in situations such as changing into swimming suits or taking showers at camp and intrude only to the extent that health and safety issues need to be addressed. Separate accommodations: When camping, no youth is permitted to sleep in the tent of an adult other than his own parent or guardian. Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation provides signs to mark when bath houses are in use by Male or Females. Proper preparation for high-endurance activities: Activities with elements of risk should not be undertaken without proper preparation, supervision, and safety measures. Boy Scouts of America Smoke-Free Policy: It is policy to provide a smoke-free environment for all Scouting participants. Therefore, tobacco products are not allowed at Camp (please refer to your Guide to Safe Scouting and Camp and Health & Safety Guide.) Thank You for your assistance!


14

GENERAL: Rules are made for the safety of campers, protection of equipment, and to provide fairness to all. The best rules are the Scout Oath and Scout Law mixed with a good dose of common sense. To avoid any misunderstanding, the following also apply at all Gulf Ridge Council camping facilities. Unit leaders are responsible for ensuring that each adult camping at Gulf Ridge Council camping facilities are aware of this code of conduct. Leaders will acknowledge that all adults are aware of this Code on the Camp Use Permit. All adults are asked to remind adults who are observed in violation of this Code to cease such conduct. One violation will result in a warning. A second violation may result in expulsion from camp. LEADERSHIP: All units using camp must have a minimum of two (2) adults present at all times. The adult leader in charge must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age. The second leader must be at least eighteen (18) years of age. Pack camping and Webelos Den overnighter events must be under the leadership of adults trained in accordance with National Boy Scouts of America Standards. All leaders must adhere to the policies contained in the Guide to Safe Scouting and Youth Protection standards. An expulsion for violation of this Code which leaves a unit without minimum adult attendance will result in the entire unit leaving camp. PRIVACY: Adults must respect the privacy of youth members in situations such as changing clothes and taking showers at camp. Adults must also protect their own privacy in similar situations. No youth is permitted to sleep in the tent of any adult other than his/her own parent or guardian. Proper attire for activities is required. Discipline used in Scouting should be constructive and reflect Scouting’s values. Corporal punishment is never permitted. Physical hazing and initiations are prohibited. CLOTHING: Adults must ensure that they wear appropriate camping attire. The Field uniform and the “Activity uniform” are always appropriate. Non-Scouting T-shirts are discouraged. Sexually suggestive clothing, garments with sexually suggestive, vulgar, or drug related wordings and/or graphics and clothing which provokes or may tend to provoke violence shall not be worn. The Boy Scouts of America Congressional Charter prohibits Scouts from wearing imitation United States Army, Navy or Marine Corps uniforms for Scouting activities. In order to comply with this mandate, the Boy Scouts of America does not permit the wearing of camouflage or combat-type military clothing in Scouting activities. Exceptions to this policy (such as Sea Scouts, Venturing Crews chartered by ROTC units, military personnel, etc…) will be handled on a case by case basis prior to the unit’s arrival at camp. PROHIBITED ON CAMP PROPERTIES: --Personal firearms, bows and arrows, sheath knives or ammunition of any kind in the possession of any Camper. --Fireworks of any kind. --Alcoholic beverages, marijuana, or other unlawful drugs --Tobacco products – BSA national and Gulf Ridge Council regulations prohibit use of tobacco products on any council owned or operated property at any time. There is no designated smoking area at any Council owned or operated facility. Tobacco products may be possessed by adults but must not be in view or used. Adults should support the attitude that youth are better off without tobacco. FIRES: Request and follow the ranger’s/program director’s instructions on the number and locations of fires. Observe fire bans. When permitted, fires must be confined to established fire rings. Fires must not be built up to dangerous or nuisance proportions, must be tended at all times and must be fully extinguished. The use of liquid fuels for starting any fires is prohibited. Compressed or liquid gas stoves or lanterns will be used only under adult supervision and control. No flames of any type are permitted in tents. VEHICLES: Vehicles, other than camp, emergency, and authorized work and handicap vehicles, are not permitted beyond the designated parking lot. Campers must plan to hike from the designated parking area to your assigned campsite. Trailers are available to move gear to the campsites but will make only one trip per unit to the campsite. Handicap vehicles must remain parked at the designated site for the duration of the camping event. The speed limit on the camp entry road and interior roads is 7 miles per hour. CAMP ACTIVITY HOURS: All activities will occur within hours published for each camping event. Other times are quiet times. During quiet times all groups will remain within their assigned campsites and be considerate of others. Do not enter other campsites without the permission of that site’s unit leader. Use of camp buildings without permission during quiet times is prohibited. SANITATION: Units are responsible for cleaning all facilities, including latrines and grounds in campsites and in surrounding areas and roadways. Units will take all trash and garbage bags to designated dumpsters. Follow Leave No Trace principles. USE OF CAMP BUILDINGS: Camp buildings may be used only as requested and approved on the Camp Use Permit, upon payment of the appropriate building use fee. Any unauthorized use of buildings will result in imposition of the building use fee. RESONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE: Units are financially responsible for any damage to their assigned campsite, activity facilities and equipment and for damage caused by their Scouts, parents, and leaders. ENFORCEMENT: Camp Rangers/Program Directors will not interfere with group activities except in the case of violation of camp rules, this Code of Conduct, or un-Scout-like behavior. Camp Rangers/Program Directors will report violations to the group leader, who, in turn, will see that the rules are observed. Camp Rangers/Program Directors have the authority to expel individuals or units from camp if the conduct warrants. Anyone asked to leave will not receive a refund. Local law enforcement may be notified if necessary.

Seminole Trail, Flaming Arrow’s first year camper program, is a structured, all-day program for boys new to Scouting. The program is designed to introduce Scouts to the basics of Boy Scouting and Summer Camp. Seminole Trail is intended to give younger Scouts a love of camping and a solid start on the trail to Eagle. During the week, Scouts will work on requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranks. This instruction will include fundamental Scout skills such as pioneering, camping, orienteering, and cooking. Scouts who have passed the swim test will take the Swimming MB and those who do not pass will receive swimming instruction until they can complete the test. As part of the first aid instruction, Scouts will earn requirements for First Aid MB. (Scouts may have an opportunity to complete First Aid MB, but they must have completed requirement #2 and second class requirement outside of camp as a prerequisite.) Seminole Trail also teaches Totin’ Chip and Firem’n Chit. After completing all elements of the Seminole Trail program, new Scouts will be well versed and proficient in all the abilities necessary to be a quality Boy Scout. While rank advancement is an important part of the program and Scouts will leave camp able to fulfill many Tenderfoot through First Class requirements, there is more to Seminole Trail than just advancement. Here they can receive their first camping experiences in a structured, controlled environment so that they will gain the knowledge and maturity to attend merit badge classes in later years. Scouts also learn the founding principles of Scouting such as citizenship, the patrol method, leadership, and personal responsibility. Seminole Trail is designed specifically for younger Scouts and Scouts who have just started to advance in rank. Most Scouts benefit greatly from this program, both in advancement and in personal growth. Seminole Trail, however, is not the right place for all first year Scouts. If a Scout is new, but has made great progress towards First Class and possesses the necessary maturity, he may benefit more from attending merit badge classes. Each Scout’s situation should be assessed individually by parents and Scout leaders before being placed in Seminole Trail. For those who truly require the skills, advancement, and experience, Seminole Trail will prove to be a highly beneficial program. Seminole Trail meets Monday through Friday all day during merit badge class periods and may begin a few minutes early for patrol activities prior to classes. The program will also include activities such as cooking meals and an overnighter. The times and specifics for these activities will be announced at the Leader Orientation meeting on Sunday night. Since the Seminole Trail program includes working towards Swimming Merit Badge, all prerequisites for that class apply, including needing shoes and socks, swim trunks, long pants, belt, and long-sleeved button-down shirt that will be getting wet.


27

This program is for Venturing Crews that want the excitement of camp activities and high adventure without the structure of merit badge classes.

Purpose and Goals

The Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program at Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation is designed to train future staff members for camp and at the same time provide training for junior leaders and instructors in Troops. The program is structured to help youth grow, to work with peers and adults, and to develop leadership skills, teaching ability, and responsibility.

The Program

The program includes: basic Scouting principles, purpose, and goals; the interrelationships of a Scout camp staff; observation of the teaching of Scout skills; teaching methods and procedures such as: planning of instruction, giving and receiving information, learner-leader relationships, counseling, song leading, discipline, and self evaluation; practice teaching Scout skills with supervision and critique; physical labor and strict, tough discipline with emphasis on promptness and the fulfillment of one’s obligations. An opportunity to complete some Scout advancement requirements will usually be provided. There is no charge for the program. Parents are responsible for transportation to and from camp each week. All Staff under the age of eighteen (18) are NOT allowed to stay weekends (between Saturday and Sunday).

Requirements for Application and Acceptance

leader Hold the rank of Star Scout or higher Be in excellent mental and physical health Have parental approval for participation in all phases of the program, with the

understanding that a CIT may be sent home at the parent’s expense at any time if he fails to live up to expectations. Since CIT positions are limited, once accepted, a Scout is obligated to participate in the entire program

Work a minimum of three (3) mini-camps during the Fall or Spring and one (1) workday

Equipment & Clothing

Besides bedding, toilet articles and towels, each CIT needs at least one (preferably two) full Scout summer uniforms (Scout shirt, shorts, belt, and socks), extra Scout T-shirts, underwear, a watch, an alarm clock, Scout Handbook, work clothes, and rain gear.
