Adult Adventure Weekend Program Guide and Planning Information Event brought to you by: The National Jamboree and BSA Outdoor Adventures Teams 2 | P a g e Welcome Letter – Adult Adventure Weekend BSA Outdoor Adventures 1325 W. Walnut Hill Lane Irving, TX 75038 Dear All Adult Volunteers, Unit Leaders, and BSA Staff, THANK YOU for providing youth with the opportunity to participate in the grand Adventure that is Scouting! Your significant contributions of energy, resources, and time are responsible for creating meaningful growth, leadership, and purpose in the lives of our future leaders! In an environment where it may sometimes seem like “it’s all about the youth, it’s all about the youth,” The National Jamboree and BSA Outdoor Adventures Teams would like to say THANKS for your commitment and service by providing a chance for YOU to get in on the FUN! The focus for the first Adult Adventure Weekend is simple… it’s YOUR turn to ride the zip lines, climb rocks, shoot guns, ride bikes, fish, tour, eat great food, hang out with friends, and experience Adventures that are normally reserved for youth – both at the Summit and in the New River Gorge! The Adventure will continue with evening programs that are focused towards the shared goal of growing Scouting, by exploring how we provide more Outdoor Adventures for more Scouts in the future. Partnering with YOU, we will work together increase membership, retention, and camping opportunities in your Councils! Whether you are creating Adventures for youth in your Council, preparing for trips to the BSA’s High Adventure Bases, or helped plan/lead/staff the 2017 National Jamboree, this event is for you!

This is your copy of the annual Let's Go Camping Guide. The National Capital Area Council Order of the Arrow Amangamek-Wipit Lodge updates this guide annually. This guide is intended to support the unit camping program by providing leaders with a directory of nearby campgrounds. The guide is organized into three sections. Section I lists public campgrounds in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Section II covers campgrounds administered by the Boy Scouts of America in Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. Section III provides a place for leaders to record their favorite campgrounds for future reference. Many people have provided listings to this year's edition of the guide and we are grateful to all who have contributed. However, this guide is far from a complete listing of the camping resources available to NCAC units. If you would like to add a listing or if you discover a listing in need of correction please contact Philip Caridi at your convenience at [email protected]. Together we can make next year's guide even more useful.

JUSTICE NATIONAL SCOUT CAMP | OA Prism Participant Guide Welcome Letter Dear Arrowman, Congratulations on your selection as a participant for the 2016 Prism experience! We are excited to share life-changing experiences with you at the Summit Bechtel Reserve this summer. You will have access to all of the adventures the Scott Summit Center provides; these include rock climbing, zip-lining, boating, biking and so much more! During your stay you will also give back to the SBR through a service project along with fellow Arrowmen from around the country. The service project that you assist with will leave a mark on the SBR and Scouting for generations to come. Be proud of this! The defining experience of Prism will be the inaugural rededication ceremony at the newly constructed Summit Circle. The ceremony will provide you with a glimpse of what the future holds for the OA and how you can impact the direction it takes. As you ponder your role, you will be surrounded by remnants of Treasure Island Scout Reservation’s original ceremony circle where Dr. Goodman once stood, as well as a commemoration of our legacy lodge rocks, granting you a chance to reflect on our past. As a Prism participant, you will be one of the first Arrowmen to experience the new national ceremonial grounds and serve as a guide into a new century of brotherhood, cheerfulness and service. As we all prepare for this summer, it is important that you stay on top of important action items, including your medical form, travel arrangements and other time sensitive requirements.

A to U ii iii Introductory letter from the Scout Executive Dear Scouters, As I write this, the weather is getting colder, and summer camp seems very far off in the future. But as the seasons change, the opportunity for Scouts to go to summer camp will once again be upon us. One of the biggest highlights in my youth as a Boy Scout was going to summer camp. And I suspect it was for my contemporaries as well. And I think I know why. Summer camp offers the “OUT” in Scouting! Young people don’t join Scouts to learn to be better citizens, to deepen their faith in God, or to develop good character which will help them grow to be the best, and the most they can be as adults. No, they join for fun, for the adventure, the excitement, and they find that in the great outdoors. This will be my first summer to experience Camp Kootaga as your Scout Executive. I look forward to the experience! I am sure it will be great.
