Introducory Scout Description:
Basically, this is considered the most fun, mind-blowing camp we offer. Discover skills of the ancient scout, nearly lost to history, if it weren’t for a handful of people who kept these practices alive. We’re a staff who has studied under scouts only once removed from the likes of Baden-Powell and Geronimo. A scout must live in honor, balance and harmony with the earth in order to blend with nature and move over any terrain like a shadow. There’s also an aspect of martial arts in this camp, using tricks of mind-over-matter to help us accomplish feats that seem impossible. Feel free to repeat this session multiple times in preparation for attending Advanced Arts of the Scout.
The goal of this Intro Scout group is to introduce you to the scout code of honor, including teamwork. Skills covered during this camp session include, but are not limited to the following list, and are somewhat dependent on instructor preference and camper readiness:
• Invisibility & Stealth.
• Smokeless Fires.
• Advanced Camouflage
• Morals & Teamwork
• Bird Language,
• Boobie Traps.
• Self-sacrifice for the benefit of loved ones.
• Intuition, purpose, wits, courage ... need we say more?
Advanced Scout Description:
What we do in the advanced scout group is never written.
The goal of the Advanced Scout group is to integrate the scout code of morals which lead to the ultimate action we must take, and in order to do so, you may take a proficiency challenge to demonstrate that you have become accomplished in the following morals:
• Appreciation..
• Unity.
• Intelligences.
• Joyful Interest.
• Sensitive Honesty.
• Love & Peace.
• Will to Serve.
• Humble Respect.
This camp session takes place primarily at Wolf Camp but may include field trips in the surrounding area. Activities covered during this camp session include, but are not limited to the following list, and are somewhat dependent on weather, instructor descretion, camper desire, and serendipity:
