We are very excited about this camping season and sincerely hope you and your units are as well. The primary purpose of camp is for Scouts to have FUN! While advancing in rank and merit badges are undoubtedly important aspects of the camping experience, the goal of both Circle Ten and the staff at TRJ is to ensure that our Scouts can engage and enjoy as many programs as possible. With that in mind, we have designed Friday morning as a “makeup day” to help our Scouts catch up on what they missed because they were experiencing other activities and merit badge programs during summer camp. With all the activities and merit badge programs that Trevor Rees-Jones Scout Camp has to offer, it is VITAL that your unit takes time to discuss our activities and merit badge program offerings with your Scouts and allow them to make choices based on their individual advancement goal and interests and experiences that will make summer camp FUN!. Scouts who participate in activities of their choosing and have fun at camp will stay in Scouting and return to camp! This guide contains important information about activities and merit badges programs. On Sundays we will share any changes made after this document’s publication at the 7:30 p.m. leaders meeting at the Dining Hall, and on May 12th at the Summer Camp Leaders’ Meeting at the John D. Murchison Scouting Center (see page 4). If you have any program questions in advance of camp, please contact us. Our contact information is included in the General Information Section of this Guide.
