Some obstacles are given to us from others, some are environmental, or possibly even obstacles that are personal that we must overcome. Christian Matcovich, a Cradle of Liberty Council Scout who earned the rank of Eagle Scout this year, has faced extra obstacles but he has never let that get in his way. Christian, a member of Troop 481 in the Lafayette District, contends with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. This condition includes low muscle tone through his torso (he cannot support himself without aid) and the inability to control muscle spasms in his arms and legs. In addition, he is non- verbal but sharp as a tack. These medical conditions confine him to a wheelchair with many supports, as well as a Dynavox that he uses to communicate. Despite these conditions, Christian has a way of looking at life that is very unique: always with a smile and a positive attitude! Christian has been a Scout starting as a young Cub Scout and working his way through Arrow of Light and into Boy Scouts. He has always enjoyed camping and attending as many Scouting activities as possible, and his mom Mary has made sure that he doesn’t miss an event. Even when Christian was elected to become a member of the Order of the Arrow, he and his family greeted the Ordeal with excitement and optimism. No challenge has ever been too big for Christian to overcome, and he is a proud Even when he got nervous during his board member of Unami Lodge, One. After his ceremony, of review and struggled to recall his answers, he was all smiles and very proud to show-off his sash! Christian was able to regain his composure and As Christian worked on his progress towards persevered to answer all the questions asked of Eagle, he maintained his positive attitude and cheerful him. smile. His Eagle project was assembling many aid Christian is an example to us all of what is boxes for needy children, and he surpassed his goal possible when you don’t let any obstacle get in the on the number of boxes to ship! When it came time way of achieving your goals. If we all approach for his Eagle Board of Review, Christian worked with challenges the way Christian does, with a big his teacher and Dynavox to record answers to possible smile

This guide offers a brief description of each lodge/cabin/campsite with photos where available. Resica Falls Scout Reservation Situated in the beautiful Pocono Mountains, Resica Falls Scout Reservation is a 4200+ acre Scouting Paradise. Set in what seems like an endless track of mountain trails, clear streams, and waterfalls is an amazing program of activities for Scouts to enjoy both for their summer camp experience and for units to enjoy a camping weekend. Resica Falls was founded in 1957 by a joint effort between the Valley Forge and Philadelphia Councils to create a huge parcel of land for Scouts to use for generations to come. Although the Valley Forge Council would become the sole proprietor of the property in 1965, these same two councils would merge in 1996 creating the Cradle of Liberty Council where Scouts from Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties would once again find themselves stewards of this wilderness treasure.
