One of the unanimous decisions of the 16 volunteers and professionals who make up the focus group that developed the requirements for the Commissioner Tools is that the Commissioner Tools will not be launched on some predefined date if they are not ready—something agreed to by the nearly 70 volunteers who are testing the tools.

It is open to all Cub Scouts. The only program on Sunday will be the vespers following breakfast. The Chuckwagons used are scaled-down models of the Old West Chuckwagons. Using the dimensions on the other resource link as a reference, these wagons can be easily built in a weekend. The design, materials, and workmanship can be creative, but the dimensions and restrictions must be followed. Each Chuckwagon will have a maximum of 12 Scouts working as a team. We recommend that the packs mix the age groups of the Cub Scouts. Only Cub Scouts are eligible to compete. THE REGISTERED SCOUTS THAT START ON THE WAGON MUST STAY ON THAT WAGON FOR THE DAY. Substitutions must be cleared with the Chuckwagon staff Chairman. Wagons must have one adult volunteer guide to help the Chuckwagon Staff. These volunteers will assist at the stations as the Scouts pull into a fort. All information and some supplies will be furnished by the station captain for that fort. Each fort will have stations at which the Scouts will have a skill or physical task to do.

Camping and the outdoor adventure are at the core of the mission of Scouting. It is with this focus that the Arrowmen of Tonkawa Lodge 99 present this revised camping guide to the units of our council and any units who are looking to discover new opportunities for camping and exploration. This revision updates some of the changes that have occurred in Scouting, revises outdated information, and provides new locations for camping and outdoor adventures.

Although many users may choose to only collect selected council items, The Council Guide aims to record all council insignia in order to present a more complete picture of a council’s issues. Furthermore, such a broad focus makes The Council Guide more than just another patch identification guide – The Council Guide is also a resource for individuals wishing to record and learn about the history of Scouting through its memorabilia. ORGANIZATION Since The Council Guide includes a wide variety of issues, made in different shapes and sizes and for different purposes, it can be difficult to catalog these issues in a consistent way.
