The tradition of going to Summer camp was started by Lord Baden Powell himselfback in August 1907, when he invited 22 boys to an encampment. Encampment is defined as a place with temporary accommodations consiting ofhuts The Campers-June I 5-22 Our scouts participated on a or tents, tipically for troops or An exciting week filled with adventure, lea.rn.ing opportunities multitude of discipline such as nomads. The first scout and camaraderie awaited our archery, rifle shooting, rock encampment was located on scouts at Camp FGLjust outside Le climbing, and white water rafting Brown Sea Island wich is offthe Grange, Georgia approximately 8 at the world largest urban white English coast.

Opportunities for advancement were also plentiful I II the original scout camp were very Bradenton, Florida. similar to today, hiking, climbing, swinUning, archery Be shooting continued on page 2 From page 1 Summer Camp... The early soouts practioed survival skills and first aid. To me this 1s what separates Boy Scouts from all other orga.n1zations, proVicllng a location and opportunities for boys to do such a cool things. This set up of a scout encampment hasn't change over the years, you have the mess hall and first aid building located that at the front ofthe camp, then it it's the activity areas and then the tent/sleeping areas. The basic camp tent has also been resistant to the winds of change, these canvas structures are usually hot when IW""-'--=:.-Ir~ sunny, leak when it is raining and let's any creepy crawly imaginable inside. Enough history for a while and back to 2013, both the boys and adults enjoyed the camp facilities. Camp FGL is really new as camp go, only 12 years old, the mess hall, climbing tower, shooting area, water front were all in excellent condition. The boy's thought that the camp staffwere top notch also, especially" Sunshine, Toy Story, Turtle, Evans &: KJ", (camp names) the only place that everyone complained about was the trading post, it's unfortunate that it was not better stocked, they could have made a fortune. I believe that most ofthe boys enjoyed the offsite excursions, the museum tour, and safari and especially the white water rafting trip, special kudos to White water Express out of Colomb us, GA., You guys rock!!! Thanks to all the parents &: leaders who made this year's summer camp incredible, you help provide a lifetime ofmemories crarruned into a week. Zach and Ed Genewick at Philmont Camping HQ July 2013. Tooth of Time in the background, a 9,001 ft. High granite monolith This summer our very own Zach and Ed Genewick participated on a Philmont trek. The trek was challenging as the participants had to get familiar with high altitude hik:i..ng. They hiked over 100 miles and it was not unusual to hike mountain passes as high as 10,000 ft. or climb mountains as high as 12,441 ft. high. The memories and lessons learned on the trail were invaluable. For those ofyou who are not familiar with Philmont, it is the premier High Adventure Base for the Boy Scouts of America. Philmont Scout Ranch is a large, rugged, mountainous ranch located near the town of Cimarron, New Mexico, covering apprOximately 137,500 acres (214 square miles) of wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of the Rocky Mountains of northen New Mexico. The ranch, formerly the property ofoil baron Waite Phillips and now that of the Boy Scouts of America, is a National High Adventure Base in wich crews of Scouts and Venturers take part in backpacking expeditions and other outdoor activities. Between June 8 and August 22 around 23,000 Scouts and adult leaders backpack across the Ranch's extensive backcountry while over 1,250 seasonal staffpersonnel maintain the Ranch's sununer operations. Philmont is also home to the Philmont Training Center and the Seton Museum. The Training Center is the primary location for BSA's national volunteer training programs. Philmont is also operated as a ranCh, maintaining small herds ofcattle, horses, burros and bison.

Tenderfoot, but now he is an "Eagle Scout". He learned to do whatever is RIGHT no matter what others think. "On my honor, I will do my best" He learned to be proud, yet not aloof, he promised from the start; to respect all other men. He said that he would obey the Law that is known by every scout. Who is this young man who before us stands accepting his "Eagle" with pride? The Oath and Law become his creed, He once was a Boy Scout with boyish his Motto "Be Prepared"; ideals; but now he is nearly a man.
