Summer Camp is the practicum for ten months of weekly unit meetings, monthly campouts and activities, individual advancement experiences, and youth leadership training and practice. Every Scout deserves and needs a chance to go to summer camp. Summer Camp allows them the opportunity to test their skills, practice their skills, and demonstrate with confidence their skills.
September is the time to make plans for next summer. The plans begin with a commitment to attend summer camp from the entire unit organization: youth members, adult leaders, unit committee, and charter organization. This can be done at unit meetings during September with a large poster at the troop meeting location with places identified for each person to sign their name committing to join the troop next summer at camp. This will be a weekly reminder for everyone that everything that takes place during the next ten months will ensure a summer camp experience that will last a lifetime.
1. Pick a camp and make a reservation by September 30th. Information about Adventure West Council Camps can be found on the council website at awbsa.org or by following these links to Ben Delatour Scout Camp, Camp Buffalo Bill or Yellowstone High Adventure Outpost at Camb Buffalo Bill.
2. The Troop Committee and Adult Leaders should determine a budget by September 30th that will help all participants know what will be needed to cover the cost and meet the payment schedule for summer camp 2027.
3. Youth members, adult leaders, unit committee members, and charter organization should build a calendar by September 30th with detailed steps to be accomplished each month to prepare for the adventure.
