  • Notes on Camp: a Decolonizing Strategy
    Notes on Camp: A Decolonizing Strategy Amanda Shore NSCAD University 2015 Advisor: Dr. Carla Taunton Table of Contents Strategic Framework for Long-Term Decolonizing Initiatives 1 Core Values of Early Camp Programming 7 Propelling Change and Shifting a Collective Consciousness 17 Selected Bibliography 28 Strategic Framework for Long-Term Decolonizing Initiatives As a former camp counselor I recall with affection the exhausting and exhilarating days of my most fulfilling summers. By working in an outdoor classroom environment, I was able to develop unique, alternative approaches to teaching, and more importantly, I was able to learn invaluable lessons from bright and curious young people. I owe my skills in public speaking and, more importantly, in listening, to the campers who commanded my attention and taught me the value of quiet. I acknowledge my identity as a former camp staff member, an art history student, and a white Christian woman, and its impact on my research. As a settler Canadian woman I have participated in camp traditions which imitate, appropriate, and misrepresent Indigenous ceremonies, names, and cultural practices of dress and craft. I wish to acknowledge my experience as a camp educator as I sift through camp histories, acknowledging that I have been a beneficiary of and a participant in many such histories. I take ownership of my past participation in the colonial appropriation of Indigenous cultural practices, and I understand the privileged posture from which I stand as I pursue personal decolonization. I confront my participation in problematic camp traditions in response to Paulette Regan’s call to action for settler Canadians.

  • Passing Masculinities at Boy Scout Camp
    PASSING MASCULINITIES AT BOY SCOUT CAMP Patrick Duane Vrooman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Joe Austin, Advisor Melissa Miller Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Jay Mechling ii ABSTRACT Joe Austin, Advisor This study examines the folklore produced by the Boy Scout summer camp staff members at Camp Lakota during the summers of 2002 and 2003, including songs, skits, and stories performed both in front of campers as well as “behind the scenes.” I argue that this particular subgroup within the Boy Scouts of America orders and passes on a particular constellation of masculinities to the younger Scouts through folklore while the staff are simultaneously attempting to pass as masculine themselves. The complexities of this situation—trying to pass on what one has not fully acquired, and thus must only pass as—result in an ordering of masculinities which includes performances of what I call taking a pass on received masculinities. The way that summer camp staff members cope with their precarious situation is by becoming tradition creators and bearers, that is, by acquiescing to their position in the hegemonizing process. It is my contention that hegemonic hetero-patriarchal masculinity is maintained by partially ordered subjects who engage in rather complex passings with various masculinities. iii Dedicated to the memory of my Grandpa, H. Stanley Vrooman For getting our family into the Scouting movement, and For recognizing that I “must be pretty damn stupid, having to go to school all those years.” iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I never knew how many people it would take to write a book! I always thought that writing was a solitary act.

  • About Catholic Scouting in Hawaii
    rev. 031418 ABOUT CATHOLIC SCOUTING IN HAWAII As a ministry in the Diocese of Honolulu, the mission of the Diocese of Honolulu Catholic Committee on Scouting (DHCCS) is to promote the use of youth serving programs—including Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girls Scouts, American Heritage Girls, and Trail Life USA—as Catholic youth ministry throughout the Diocese. To support inclusion of the Catholic faith in these programs, Bishop Larry Silva annually celebrates a Scout Mass to award religious emblems to youth who participated and completed the program requirements. The ultimate goal of these religious recognitions is to help foster discipleship among our Catholic youth: BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA The National Catholic Committee on Scouting (NCCS) established four religious emblems for Catholic youth, two for Cub Scouts and two for Boy Scouts or Venture Scouts: Light of Christ Designed for 6-7 year old (Tiger or Wolf) Cub Scouts* Parvuli Dei Designed for 8-10 year old (Bear or Webelos) Cub Scouts* Ad Altare Dei Designed for 13-14 year old youth, but open to all Boy Scouts and Venturing Crew members** Pope Pius XII Designed for Boy Scouts and Venturing Crew members 15 years old and older** For more information, visit NCCS at www.nccs-bsa.org. GIRL SCOUTS OF THE USA and AMERICAN HERITAGE GIRLS Girl Scouts and American Heritage Girls use the religious emblems programs developed by the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (www.nfcym.org), which established six religious emblems for girls: God Is Love* Designed for girls in K-1st grade * Family of God Designed for girls in grades 2-3 * I Live My Faith Designed for girls in grades 4-5 * Mary, the First Disciple Designed for girls in grades 6-8 ** The Spirit Alive Designed for girls in grades 9-10 ** Missio Designed for girls in grades 11-12 ** For more information, visit the National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts USA and Camp Fire USA at www.catholicreligiousrecognitions.org or the American Heritage Girls’ National Catholic Committee at www.americanheritagegirls.org/catholiccommittee.

  • Camp Fire USA Compiled August 15, 2010 David L
    The International Web Site for the History of Guiding and Scouting PAXTU http://www.Paxtu.org A Bibliography of Camp Fire USA Compiled August 15, 2010 David L. Peavy The following is a bibliography on a variety of subjects containing both primary and secondary sources regarding Camp Fire USA. The organization was founded by Luther and Charlotte Gulick in 1910 as “Camp Fire” for girls. The newly formed Boy Scouts of America endorsed Camp Fire in an attempt to not only remain a boys-only program, but to prevent any national girls program from including “Scouting” as a descriptor. While Juliette Low held her first Girl Scout meeting in 1912, it was not until 1915 that Girl Scouts, Inc was incorporated in the District of Columbia. Within the USA, Camp Fire was the girls’ equivalent to the Boy Scouts, at least in the eyes of both Camp Fire and the BSA. In 1912, the organization was incorporated in Washington, DC as the “Camp Fire Girls of America.” In 1975, with the acceptance of boys as members, the word “Girls,” was dropped from the name and the organization was called “Camp Fire” and then “Camp Fire, Inc.” in 1984. By 1993, the public name changed to “Camp Fire Boys and Girls.” By 2001, the organization renamed themselves as “Camp Fire USA.” Consequently, official publications of the organization can have several different author and publisher names, depending upon the time period in which it was revised or reprinted. Important and significant references are marked (*). Additions to this listing will be made upon receipt of additional information.

This includes our Camp Decorah summer and winter programs, Camporees, Klondikes, Expos, High Adventure Bases and unit camping. Although not listed in this resource, another great place to take your unit includes county owned property. This is often available for little or no cost and can be arranged by contacting your local Park Department or County Forester. More information about nearby private and public facilities can be found at your local Chamber of Commerce. We want to thank you for keeping the “Outing” in Scouting.
