Dear Parents & Scouts,

We hope that this program brochure gets you excited about the possibilities for outdoor adventure this summer. We all know that you cannot spell "Scouting" without "Outing", and these strange times have certainly made outings difficult...

The Camping & Outdoor Programs Committee at Verdugo Hills Council is working hard to devise a plan for a successful return to summer camping activities at Camp Verdugo Oaks for summer 2021!

Working with guidance from LA County, we will determine what is the safest path for our summer camps as we get closer to summer. If there's one thing we've all learned in this new COVID world, is that we must BE PREPARED for anything!

To that end we have devised alternate Online Cyber Scout camps to be run during the same weeks for most of our camps if it is not permissible to overnight camp. We have also devised events such as our "Drive-In Movie" nights that can be run safely no matter the COVID conditions! You will also see our COVID protocols and safety guidelines for a return to camp outlined on the next page.

As you peruse the pages of this brochure, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Lets make summer 2021 a safe and exciting Scouting Adventure! Yours in Scouting, David Potter Vice President of Program [email protected] Peter Basler Camping & Outdoor Programs Chair [email protected]

MISSION STATEMENT OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral 1 choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

This will include a temperature check of all individuals in the vehicle. If anyone in the vehicle has an elevated temperature of 100 degrees or more your Scout will not be able to attend and your fees will be refunded. We will attend to vehicles on a first come basis. ✦ After premedical check, your Scout will proceed to check in. We ask that parents remain in their cars until the Scout has completed check in. A staff member will advise once check in is complete. At that point parents may leave. ✦ While in camp, your Scout will be assigned a cohort of 8 to 10 Scouts. Each cohort will stay together and not mix with other cohorts. There will be 2 staff members assigned to each cohort. ✦ Each Scout must bring their own tent and tent separately. Scouts from the same family and also of the same gender may share a tent and will be part of the same cohort. Mixed gender siblings can only tent together if a parent is also in the tent for Cubs Scouts only. For Scouts BSA mixed gender siblings must tent separately. ✦ All meals will be prepared at the camp kitchen with certified safe kitchen staff. All meals will be served with disposable dishes, silverware and cups. All meals will be eaten outside with social distancing. Do not bring cook kits, silverware or cups from home. ✦ All program areas will have a touchless hand sanitizer station. ✦ All restrooms will be cleaned and disinfected 3 times a day. There will be touchless hand soap dispensers and paper towels dispensers at all restrooms. ✦ All Scouts will have to have and wear face coverings. Please bring at least two face coverings. ✦ There will be daily temperature checks. ✦ If within 14 days of leaving camp your Scout has a positive Covid test it is required to notify the camp director. Please email David Potter at - [email protected] ✦ Six foot of social distancing will be required of all campers. There will be thirty (30) feet of social distancing between cohorts.

National Youth Leadership Training is an exciting, action-packed program designed for councils to provide youth members with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home troops and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others.

The NYLT course centers around the concepts of what a leader must BE, what he must KNOW, and what he must DO. The key elements are then taught with a clear focus on HOW TO. The skills come alive during the week as the patrol goes on a NYLT COURSEATCVO Quest for the Meaning of Leadership.

NYLT is a six-day course. Content is delivered in a troop and patrol outdoor setting with an emphasis on immediate application of learning in a fun environment. Interconnecting concepts and work processes are introduced early, built upon, and aided by the use of memory aids, which allows participants to understand and employ the leadership skills much faster.

In order to attend a NYLT course, a youth must have the following qualifications by the beginning of the course: ✦ Scout must be 13 years old ✦ Must have achieved First Class Rank ✦ Have a unit leader recommendation
