The Trail to Adventure The Trail to Adventure VOLUME 8, ISSUE 3 J U N E 2 0 1 5 PRESENTED BY Changes to NCAP Starting in 2020 THE NATIONAL The National Camp Accreditation Program (NCAP) will undergo several changes for the 2020 sea- O U T D O O R son. Every year the NCAP Committee reviews the standards and the NCAP process to make cer- tain that the Boy Scouts of America camps are maintaining the highest level of safety and the P R O G R A M S quality of programs that every participant deserves and desires. Changes to and standard will be S U P P O R T announced soon. COMMITTEE AND The biggest change in 2020 provides an opportunity to streamline the process by reducing and THE OUTDOOR consolidating the number of camp type classifications. These adjustments will increase quality P R O G R A M S / program and the health and safety of all campers while enhancing brand of the Boy Scouts of America. The new classifications are: PROPERTIES Camp Property: A camp property includes any and all properties which a BSA council exercis- TEAM es long-term control that is made available to BSA units or individuals for use in BSA- INSIDE THIS ISSUE: branded program activities. Day Camp: A day camp is a council-organized program designed for Scouts for two or more Summit Conference 3 Opportunities days, under council-retained leadership, at an approved site with no overnight. The pro- gram may operate at the Tiger Scout, Cub Scout, Webelos Scout, Scouts BSA, Venturer, NEW Outdoor Programs 4 and Properties Manual or Sea Scout level. Family Camp : A family camp is a one time, council-approved one or two night camp at an Outdoor Adventures 5 Resources approved site for Tiger Scouts, Cub Scouts and/or Webelos Scouts, Scouts BSA, Ventur- ers and Sea Scouts and their families and that involve more than one unit where the NCS Updates 6 council, or its agents, provides the staffing and may provide program and food service.

Or for example, if they offer overnight trek- Outdoor Activities and 16-17 king programs, the camp would follow the long-term camp standards and the trek standards.

With our camp properties being most Council’s biggest asset and in some cases their big- gest liability, it was important to understand how our facilities measured up, our staff, pro- grams, and equipment supported the participants and to make sure that our Councils under- stood the true costs of our camping programs and that they had a plan to improve and sustain their assets into the future. Over the first few years, NCAP looked at those properties that supported long term summer and winter camps, plus high adventure, but next year we are asking out Councils to review all of their properties. The standards and the BSA brand always apply to where camping and programs are carried out, and properties that must be self-assessed are a great opportunity for councils to ensure all of their camps and programs meet and exceed the BSA brand. Many Mark Rose, improvements, self awareness and tough choices where made over the last few years, so this National Outdoor expansion of reviewing all of our properties will only make us better. I look forward to the next Programs Support step in making progress for this generation of Scouts and the generations that follow. Chairman Mark Rose Thanks to everyone who attended the National Outdoor Conference at Philmont last month! A recap of the conference facts: 370 participants, 120 electives, 40 exhibitors, a huge food show, seven preconference sessions, great general sessions by Dr. Deborah Gilboa, Tom Rosenberg and Chief Scout Executive Michael Surbaugh as just a few of the highlights.

P A G E VOLUME 8, ISSUE 3 5 Scouting’s Outdoor Adventure Resources Outdoor Adventure is the key to Scouting’s success for more than 100 years. The founder unlocked the imagination of young people through emersion in the outdoors. Everything from self-esteem, skills, leadership, teamwork and service is achieved through outdoor activity. The National Camping Subcommittee dedicates it efforts to providing resources to Scouters that support every element of Outdoor Adventures. Let us be reminded that Scouting’s Market Place doubled on February 1, 2019. The Total Available Youth across America is now 49 million. Girls joining the movement could potentially double the membership in 24 months. Girls are excited about Outdoor Adventure and Scouts BSA invites to ALL levels of activity. Notably 110,000 girls have registered to date, including Lion Cubs through Scouts BSA to Venturing, Exploring and Sea Scouting. We now serve EVERYONE! And to enable leaders to most effectively present the Outdoor Skills to members, please review the numerous 1-2 minute video demonstrations provided by the Media Re- sources team, found at https://troopresources.scouting.org/how-to-campcraft-skill-videos/.

    Camp Rockefeller Cub Family Camps Spring 2017 Parent’s Guide and Registration Forms What Do Boys Want from Scouting? When a boy becomes a member of the Boy Scouts of America, one of his first questions is, “When do we go camping?” The Cub Scout program offers a variety of opportunities that include day camps, pack campouts, family camping, and Webelos overnighters. Each of these experiences have a different dynamic that gives the boy and his friends and family an appreciation for the outdoors. Camping and outdoor activities fulfill a boy’s dreams of fun, excitement, and adventure. Camps provide a natural setting for quality time with family and friends. Scout council camps with trained staffers provide an ideal setting for a wide variety of activities. Who Can Attend? The whole family is invited to attend Cub Scout Family Camp. Anyone in the family (immediate or extended) may attend any of the Cub Scout Family Camps hosted at Camp Rockefeller on Gus Blass Scout Reservation, if there is one registered Cub Scout in the family. How much does it Cost? Every effort is made to keep costs low while providing a safe, fun event for you and your family. The registration fees below cover food, craft supplies, sporting good supplies, insurance, and incidentals to keep a camp open (like electricity, permits, equipment repair, etc.). Cub Scouts will receive an event patch as part of their fees. Most of the overhead costs of keeping Camp Rockefeller operating is offset by Friends of Scouting and other donations. The base cost per person to attend camp is $20.
