Pre-Camp Information This chapter will provide you with information and tools that will help you in the weeks pre- ceding your camping experience. Following and understanding the information found here will help you “Be Prepared.”

About Camp We are thrilled that you have chosen LDS Eleven-Year-Old Scout Camp as the summer camping experience for your 11-year-old Scouts and look forward to sharing time with you. While rank advancement is one focus of this camp, we believe that some of the most important purposes of camp are: for the boys to have an opportunity to utilize and hone the camping skills they’ve been developing over the year, fellowship with other LDS 11 Year Old Scouts, to become familiar with all the fun things related to scout camp, and to be excited to contin-ue growing as a scout.

Activity sessions are specifically designed to teach a boy the skills that will give him the instruction he needs, along with the practice time necessary, to enable the Scout leader (not the instructor) to certify the Scout’s advancement. Flag ceremonies, classes, a campfire program, and special events are held daily. Scout leaders are ex- pected to know and follow the camp schedule, to be on time to all activities, and to help and encourage the Scouts as needed.

Eleven-Year-Old Scouts and Day Camp In the LDS publication titled “Day Camp Guide” (no. 31374), it states the following: “Since camping is an important part of Scouting, Primary provides a daytime camping experience for the boys. They go to camp during the day and return home at night. The purpose of the day camp is to give the eleven-year-old boys the excitement and fun of putting into actual practice, in the out-of-doors, the skills they have learned and are learning in their Scout patrol. To meet the requirements for rank advancement, eleven-year-old Scouts may participate in a one- night camp three times a year.”

Staff at Camp Eleven-Year-Old Scout Camp staff members have been selected from the Gorham Scout Ranch Camp staff. These Staff members will be the skill/activity instructors and have been trained in their respective areas. Thy are excited to provide a program specific to the Eleven-Year-Old Scouting program.

Before You Go Before you go to camp, certain promotional material and key information should be shared with the Scouts and parents in the troop. This material will keep everyone excited, informed and on-track for your camp experience. Scouts and parents need to know what to bring, what activities to prepare for, and what advancement opportuni- ties are offered.

LDS 11-yr-old camp 2015 Page 3 Parent’s Meeting All troops are encouraged to hold a parent’s information meeting or Camp Promotion night a few weeks before camp. This meeting can take place at a Court of Honor, a parent’s meeting, in place of a troop meeting or at any other convenient time that allows as many parents as possible to be in attendance. It is here that the details of your camp trip are explained and questions are answered. If there are questions that cannot be answered that evening, please contact the Camp Director, Patrick Smith, at 505-720-5750 and respond to the parents as soon as possible.

Camp Dates for 2015 Friday, July 24– Saturday, July 25– Beginning at 12pm Friday and ending at 6pm Saturday.

Who Pays For Camp? Fees in 2014 were $40 per boy, $30 per adult. Discuss payment with your Stake Primary Presidency– each Stake pays fees differently. Please remember that according to the Church Handbook, no boy should be excluded because of their inability to pay.

Boys’ fees pay only a portion of the total expense of camp. They pay only the expenses directly related to them and their days at camp. Major expenses such as building and facility maintenance, new equipment purchases and new additions to program areas are provided by the Great Southwest Council from sources such as Friends of Scouting, special events, and direct donations. Troop Leadership Every troop in camp must be under the supervision of its own two-deep leadership. Adult leaders need to be in camp at all times to assume responsibility for the Scouts from their troop. While we realize it is sometimes difficult to find two-deep leadership for camp, we also feel that with proper and advanced planning, continued two- deep leadership can be arranged. It is strongly suggested that the regular eleven-year-old Scout leader join the boys for as much of the camp as possible. Your boys will have much to show you to pass off skills for their Tender- foot through First Class rank work. Camp staff are not allowed to sign off on rank requirements, so it is important that Scout leaders be with the boys at all times.

IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! READ ME! It is important to note that unlike our regular camp program, as you participate in classes at Eleven-Year-Old Day Camp you will be keeping your entire patrol together. Do not split up your boys for individual classes or activities. The classes and activities are designed for the entire patrol to participate in! The case may be that you will have older and newer scouts in your patrol. Please use the older scouts as examples and helpers for the younger scouts. It will be good for them to better their own skills through this leadership opportunity.

In the case of very large eleven-year-old groups, it would be appropriate to split your Scouts into smaller patrols. In order to participate in a class, all Scouts must be accompanied by a leader. So, in large groups, you will need at least one leader for every patrol. Each patrol can attend a different class. As a rule of measurement, groups of 11 or more should be split up. ewer than 11 should remain together.

If an eleven-year-old groupGroups is very fsmall, that groupScouts may be combined with another group. irst choice for com-bining would be with another ward that meets in the same building, second choice would be with another ward that is in the same stake. In some cases we may have to combine small groups from differentThe f stakes.

Tour Plans Tour plans must be filed and approved with your local council before arriving at camp. The approved tour permit must be presented at registration when arriving at camp. Tour permits should be filed at least two weeks prior to your arrival at camp.

LDS 11-yr-old camp 2015 Page 4 Meals To help complete Tenderfoot 3 or First Class Rank requirements 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, we are pleased to offer the op-portunity for your couts to cook some of their meals. This will require cooking stoves and other equipment to be brought by each patrol, as fires may be restricted. You will have the opportunity to prepare: Friday lunch (non-cooking– your ownS ingredients), Saturday Breakfast (ingredients will be provided by the camp kitchen), and an after campfire Cracker Barrel (evening snack/late meal– your own ingredients). Because you will likely be shar-ing a campsite with other wards in your Stake, we recommend discussing equipment needed with other 11 Yr Old Scout leaders in your Stake that will be attending. Friday’s dinner and Saturday’s lunch and dinner will be provid-ed by the camp staff and served in the Dining Hall. We try to be accommodating to individuals with specific die-tary restriction, if boys or leaders in your unit need special accommodations, please fill out a Special Needs form (located at the back of this guide) and fax or email it to [email protected].

Uniforms Official Scout Uniform shirts (Class A uniform) should always be worn at Flag ceremonies, campfires and while in the dining hall. Hats are not to be worn in the dining hall. Otherwise, a scout T-shirts (class B uniform) is appropriate. Why do Scouts have a uniform? A uniform gives a standard to be met, promotes group spirit and a sense of identity. It also designates equality from the start among members of the group.

Pre-Planning Timetable Four to Five months prior to camp  Hold a parent meeting to let parents know what to expect and what equipment they may need to arrange.

Eight weeks prior to camp (Early May)  Make camp site reservation. Visit with your Stake Primary Presidency, as most units in the same Stake will camp together.

Four weeks prior to camp  Finalize choice of elective activities and turn in choices to your Stake Primary Presidency.  Collect all medical health forms for the troop Confirm transportation, equipment and schedule of departure  Finalize any pre-requisites for classes.

ELECTIVES:

Swimming Prerequisites: First Class 9a fulfills the following requirements:  First Class: 9b, 9c Be sure to schedule some much needed time at the pool to work on passing your BSA swim test and “saving someone”. (Classes may be cancelled, based on weather conditions)

Orienteering Course Prerequisites: Second Class: 1a, First Class 1 fulfills the following requirements:  First Class: 2 This course can be found on page 22 of the Leader’s Guide. For patrols or small groups interested in completing this, be sure to make enough copies before camp for all boys and leaders. No staff will direct this elective, so grab your compasses and your paper/pencil and get started!

Lash Something Useful Prerequisites: Tenderfoot 4a, 4b, 4c fulfills the following requirements:  First Class: 7b Work as a patrol or individual to put to use some of your knot tying skills to make some kind of camp gadget or tool.

Independent Skills Practice This elective is intended to be a unit leader-guided focus on a specific area or skill.. Leaders can use the time to their discretion based on the needs and interests of the boys. For example, you may want to bring supplies for a craft the boys would like learn or work on continue to work on skills your boys find difficult.

LDS 11-yr-old camp 2015 Page 8 Other requirements boys may complete in preparation for or at Eleven-Year-Old Camp:

Scout Rank: Repeat the Pledge of Allegiance. Demonstrate tying the square knot.

Tenderfoot: 1, 8, and 9

Second Class: 2, 7b, and 8a

First Class: 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 7a, and 9a.

Tenderfoot to First Class Each class is designed to fulfill as many of the Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class requirements . As you and your troop prepare to attend Camp, you will need to look over the classes, their descriptions, and any prerequisites and decide as a patrol what you most need to work on to-gether and where you wouldas possible like to spend your elective classes and free time (there is plenty of time around meals that you can use for the orienteering course, etc. You may find that you have covered many of these topics during the year. You will also undoubtedly have some newer eleven-year-old Scouts who will not have covered the materials. Encourage the boys who have been in the patrol for a longer period of time to help the new boys learn and practice the skills being taught.

Campfire Program (on Friday and Saturday evenings) Our evening’s campfire program will hopefully be an inspiring and thought-provoking reflection on Scouting and faith-related topics. We are working with your Stake Primary Presidencies to organize a fun and faith promoting campfire experience.

Cracker Barrel (on Friday evening) It is our purpose to end the campfire on a spiritual tone. We encourage you to quietly return to your camps after the Campfire program to cook your “cracker barrel” (evening snack). We hope you will discuss with the boys what they can do now to prepare for the Priesthood. Each Stake Primary Presidency will work to get a member of the Stake Presidency or the Stake Young Men’s presidency there to lead the discussion.

Concerns or Conflicts at Camp Please help remind those boys around you of safety rules while at camp (knife safety, fire safety, running around after dark, etc). You may discuss with the Camp Director, any concerns you have while at camp.

LDS 11-yr-old camp 2015 Page 14 Wireless Internet Use Policy Summer Camp 2015 Gorham Scout Ranch

Wireless access to the Internet is a new feature for the 2015 summer camp season and this feature has been added for the convenience of unit adults attending summer camp. It is important to understand that this is a shared system, and is also used for camp management by the camp management staff.

The Gorham Scout Ranch system is a satellite system, therefore there are limitations on download and upload speeds. The system is also subject to a daily download threshold. As such, there are things that you must adhere to:

The network is only for use by camp management staff and adults attending summer camp. Scouts attending summer camp are prohibited from using the camp Internet. The check-in shelter also doubles as the camp “Internet kiosk”. This is the only place that is to be used for wireless Internet access by unit adults. You will be assigned a passphrase to join the network. This passphrase needs to be entered once, and all subsequent connections will not require the passphrase be re-entered. The passphrase is FOR YOUR USE ONLY! You are not to share this passphrase with any other person. Since there are limitations on the download and upload speeds, keep in mind that you share this bandwidth with others. The larger the number of users, the slower the Internet connection. Therefore, limit your use of the Internet to necessary functions. Day long net surfing is not consistent with Inter- net use for necessary functions and must not be done! The camp’s Internet plan is subject to a daily download threshold. Therefore, downloading large files is discouraged. In addition, due the download speed, file streaming does not work well, regardless of the number of users. Do not access file streaming from Internet sites that support this technology. File streaming also takes a large amount of download bandwidth and will consume a large amount of our daily download threshold. High-speed Internet by satellite service is STILL NOT recommended for some sub-second time-sensitive types of Internet uses. The sub-second delay (latency) of satellite Internet access affects connection speeds. While this sub-second delay is mostly unnoticeable in general web browsing, it may have a significant impact on time-sensitive applications. Therefore, the following must not be used:

Real-time online gaming, particularly "twitch" games such as Quake, Diablo etc. Real-time collaboration and conferencing, such as NetMeeting or videoconferencing VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) Internet phone service Online day trading

This is a public access network, and as such, we reserve the right to monitor anything users are doing on the network. In addition, all network traffic will be monitored. Abuse of the above rules will result in shutting down the Internet use.

By signing this use policy, I am agreeing to follow all of the above rules.
