7 8 Camp La-No-Che The Leonard and Marjorie Williams Family Scout Reservation Summer Camp 2013 The Leonard and Marjorie Williams Family Scout Reservation has earned a reputation over the past sixty three years as the premier Scout camp in Florida and the Southeast. On the shores of beautiful Lake Norris, nestled on the south edge of the Ocala National Forest, Camp La-No-Che has exciting program features, great facilities, and the best trained staff anywhere. A week at Camp La-No-Che is the perfect opportunity for a Scout to enjoy camping, learn self-reliance, and acquire Scouting skills. Camp La-No-Che is an increasingly popular choice among troops from other councils and even other countries, and why many Scouts choose to return for a second, third, or even fourth week each summer.

12 Section III - Program Schedules The merit badge programs are for all Scouts who are working toward rank advancement or specific skills and interests. All Scouts need merit badge books for each merit badge class. All merit badge skills are offered in daily sessions. However, extra time will be needed to complete some merit badges. Other merit badges will not require a full week, and a second merit badge may be earned. The program areas are Adventure Camp, Aquatics, Ecology, Handicraft, Healthcraft, Leadership Academy, Native American, Scoutcraft, Shooting Sports, Skills, and Special programs. There are also activities other than merit badges, such as Aquatic Supervison, the Trailblazer program, and older Scout programs. Class schedules, size limits, and preparation requirements are listed by program area. Scoutmaster approval is required for a Scout to take merit badges. We encourage new Scouts with less than six months in Scouting to attend one of the Trailblazer programs, each of which consists of a two-hour block. During the other three merit badge periods, the new Scout can work on Swimming, Rowing, First Aid, Handicraft, Scoutcraft, Native American and Ecology merit badges. Young Scouts not participating in Trailblazers may also take numerous aquatic merit badges if they have the Swimming merit badge, and many other badges based on the Scout’s interests. Please refer to the following pages to plan your Scouts’ merit badge schedules by program area. Please register online or complete the summer camp merit badge pre-registration form and send it to Camp La-No-Che. We suggest the merit badge pre-registration be completed as early as possible for the best merit badge choices. Many units will start sending in pre-registrations around January. Please have your pre-registration completed before May 1st. If you have any problems or changes, please contact the camp office.

Merit Badge Records We want your stay at The Leonard and Marjorie Williams Family Scout Reservation to be fun, relaxing and hassle- free, and we want dealing with the paperwork at home to be hassle-free, as well. We will continue to limit the size of merit badge classes to ensure proper instruction. The camp will start accepting pre-registration for merit badges and the special skill courses for this year's summer camp on March 1st. Courses will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. This will help the leader know his Scouts’ schedules and give the camp staff an idea of class loads. The unit leader will receive a merit badge report on Friday night. The report will show which requirements have been completed for each badge for each Scout. Each department director is a registered merit badge counselor for the merit badges in his or her department. A troop may bring blue cards to the area directors for a signature Friday night at 7:15 pm at the Handicraft Pavilion.

Merit Badge Not on Schedule If a Scout is interested in a merit badge which is not on the schedule, please contact the Camp Program Office either prior to camp or upon arrival on Sunday to discuss the possibility of making special arrangements for the badge.

Notes About Schedules In the schedules on the following pages, the shaded areas represent the times when the classes are available. The numbers in the shaded areas represent the capacities of the classes. An asterisk (“*”) next to the program name indicates that the program is a merit badge class. In addition to the items listed under Preparation Needed Prior to Camp, Scouts should read the merit badge books and bring the books to class for all merit badges.

13 Adventure Camp Older Scout programs are provided in the program areas. These adventures will be listed in the Adventure Camp section of this guidebook. The most updated information is available online at http://www.camplanoche.com.

Information and helpful hints are provided to make this experience even more fun. The Ecology department maintains and oversees the trail system throughout camp. Before starting any hike, please notify the staff at the Ecology Lodge for directions, hints on changes and wildlife, and to sign the log book. Report back to Ecology Lodge upon completion of each hike. Commissioner points are also awarded to the troops participating and completing the Hiker of La-No-Che Trails award. To become a Hiker of La-No-Che and earn a special patch, one must hike three trails, one of which must be hiked at night. The patch may be purchased at the trading post.

Big Stump Trail This trail is a tradition at La-No-Che. Expect a muddy two hour walk through the Blackwater Swamp to view an old first growth cypress stump and many natural areas of interest. To take this hike, report to the Ecology Lodge with two leaders and ample time to complete the hike before dark. Weekly changes in times may be invoked as water levels, staff schedules and weather require. Wear old clothes and closed-toe shoes, preferably all items to throw away after the hike. Nobody comes back in clean clothes and the mud usually won’t wash out completely. Those who make it to Big Stump and back fulfill the requirements for a special patch available for purchase from the trading post.

Cateye Trails The Cateye Red Trail is marked with red reflectors which the Scouts follow. The route uses existing roads and trails through the east side of camp to provide a challenge for everyone. Remember to bring your flashlights, look up and keep a sharp eye out for the red cateyes. The Cateye Blue Trail is marked with blue reflectors which Scouts will follow with the aid of their flashlights. This trail was blazed by the ecology staff and is about an hour long. Remember your flashlights and keep an eye out for the blue cateyes.

Sulfur Springs Trail This spring is one of the natural wonders of La-No-Che which is being preserved and protected. Because of this protection, you can experience this wonderful ecosystem which unfolds before you. Please do not damage plants and trees along the way, but take lots of pictures. Also, remember that the Sulfer Spring is not a swimming hole.

Trapper Creek Nature Trail This is an adventure in wetland forests and creeks that sometimes flow under two bridges. The wood ticks and mosquitos may be a problem, so bring your repellent and spray your ankles. Hikers may see close to half of Camp La- No-Che’s plant species on this trail along with many different types of animals.

All outdoor programs are canceled during lightning storms. Arrangements are made to make up work missed due to canceled classes.

Dear Parents:

We look forward to having your son spend a week with us at camp. As a camper, he should bring with him:

• Enough clothes for a week at camp, including plenty of socks. We do a lot of walking and blisters are common. Closed-toe shoes are to be worn at all times, and a spare pair of shoes is important. • Field (“Class A”) uniform. A Scout should travel in field uniform, wear it to dinner each night, and have his troop photograph taken in it. • Swim suit and towels • Long pants and a long sleeved button up shirt for boys taking any of the aquatics merit badges. • Toilet articles: soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, etc. • Raincoat or poncho • Flashlight • Insect repellent • Pocket knife • Compass • Sleeping bag or sheet and blanket. We will sleep on cots. For his sleeping comfort, he should bring a mosquito net. • Scout handbook, merit badge books, paper, and pens • If taking the Big Stump hike, he should bring clothes and shoes that can be thrown away after this very muddy hike. • Spending money (No large amounts of cash) • Locked trunk to store everything (or at least valuables).

Please don’t send unnecessary items to camp that might get broken, lost, or stolen. Label everything he does bring. If you would like to write to your son, please address mail as follows:

Scout’s name Troop ______Camp La-No-Che P.O. Box 323 Paisley, FL 32767

Thursday night is parents’ night. For a $7.00 you are welcome to have dinner with your son and see a special program. Cub Scouts in uniform eat free. You may purchase dinner upon arrival at the check-in pavilion next to the main parking area.

Thanks for letting your son have the opportunity to attend camp.

76 Unit Swim Classifications

Swim tests outside of summer camp may only be administered by an Aquatics Instructor, BSA, Aquatics Supervisor, BSA or Adult BSA Lifeguard. This is the individual’s swim classification as of the test date. Any change in swim status after this date would require a reclassification test by the Aquatics Director. Swim tests should be given every year. Please refer to the Guide to Safe Scouting for test administration. When swim tests are conducted away from camp, the Aquatics Director shall reserve the authority to review or retest.
