CAMP TUCKAHOE NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM COUNCIL, BSA

Scouting Safari: Search for the Lost Tuckahoe Tribe

CUB SCOUT & WEBELOS SUMMER CAMP LEADERS GUIDE

PROGRAM SECTION

2014


Greetings from our Director of Camping!

Dear Parents and Leaders,

How time flies! I can’t help but reflect on that fact as I write to welcome all of you to this, our 2014 Program

Highlights Guide. It’s hard to believe it’s been a decade since the “New Camp Tuckahoe” opened in 2003.

Introducing a whole generation of Scouts to the new facilities in Cub World, opening our new cabins, Dining

Hall, swimming pool, and establishing new campsites certainly made for an exciting summer! More

importantly, there can be no doubt that those investments certainly made a positive impact on our program over

the years.

Those improvements also ushered in the practice of introducing something new each summer to keep our

program fresh and exciting. We dedicate a significant amount of time each summer to reviewing all of the

helpful feedback we receive, and the result is a program I consider among the best we’ve ever offered.

So, what’s new for Cub and Webelos Resident Camp?

● A brand-new shooting range will be open this summer.

● All of our campwide activities will have a safari theme – Search for the Lost Tuckahoe Tribe!

● Break out your binoculars and telescopes, as the Nature area will focus on Astronomy.

● Our Handicraft area will offer instruction on Art and Music.

● The Sports & Games area will offer new belt loops for Kickball and Volleyball.

● Our Scoutcraft area will work on Camp Cooking skills.

● And for Webelos Scouts, a new area dedicated to STEM activities!

All of these new activities and more are detailed in the pages that follow. As you look through this Guide,

remember that this is just one of several booklets we’ll be publishing to help you prepare for summer camp.

● This Leaders Guide – Program Section explains our schedule, activities, and advancement

opportunities. Parents and leaders alike will want to read about our summer plans and share

them with their Scouts!

● A Den Meeting Activities Guide contains a variety of games, crafts, songs, and stories that can

be incorporated into your den or pack meetings. Each of the ideas relate to our summer camp

theme, so they’re great ways to promote camp!

● The Leaders Guide – Admin Section details all of the procedures, rules, and forms you’ll need

to make a reservation and arrive at camp. This will be most helpful to the Cubmaster or

Camping Chair.

With that, I hope that you’ll share my excitement as we draw closer to summer. Remember that our Open

House will be held on May 3, 2014, and I’ll look forward to welcoming each and every one of you to camp!

Yours in Scouting,

Todd Weidner

2014 PROGRAM THEME:

SCOUTING SAFARI SEARCH FOR THE LOST TUCKAHOE TRIBE

Scouts have always longed to explore the unknown, and stories about brave

explorers are among the favorites of boys everywhere. Indiana Jones and

Daniel Boone remain iconic characters, typifying our ideas about bold

adventurers. Even characters like Tarzan and Mowgli represent the

adventurer’s spirit, for they truly became one with the wilderness. Your

Scouts will undoubtedly want to get into the very same spirit, and we

encourage you to work with them to prepare themed costumes that they can

wear to campfires and other campwide events.

From the barren wastelands of the Arctic tundra to the lush jungles of the

tropics, real adventurers have been pushing back the boundaries of civilization

for centuries. Now – with a Scout’s imagination, of course – there remains just a single wilderness left to be

explored: Tuckahoe. Legend has it that a magnificent civilization once existed deep in the heart of this

mysterious land. If those legends are true, then surely they left behind great wealth and wisdom, just waiting to

be found. Every Scout will be assigned to one of our expedition teams to search for clues of the lost Tuckahoe

Tribe.

But what if those treasures fall into the wrong hands? It just so happens that a rival group

of explorers, led by the evil Doctor Morton von Maligno, is also searching for the

Tuckahoe tribe. Dr. Maligno plans to plunder the ruins to enrich himself, and all can

imagine the damage he’ll do. Your Scouts will need to learn their outdoor skills quickly to

help save Tuckahoe from the ravages of his greedy treasure-hunters.

The Evil Dr. Maligno

YOU’LL ENJOY THESE CAMPWIDE EVENTS!

Campwide Event: Outback Excursion (Campwide Games)

The jungles of Tuckahoe hold many perils for inexperienced adventurers, so the Scouts

will prepare by competing in a series of challenges. Games of chance and games of

skill will test their abilities, and they’ll certainly have a lot of fun. But beware, for Dr.

Maligno’s minions have prepared a series of traps to waylay other explorers!

Campwide Event: Jungle Jaunt (Treasure Hunt)

Rumors record that the lost Tuckahoe tribe once possessed a treasure of immeasurable

value! Now, some cryptic clues have surfaced, suggesting that the treasure could be

found. Will the clues lead your Scouts to a buried treasure, or the fabled lost city of

gold? The race is on!

Campwide Event: Castaway’s Challenge (Water Carnival) – Webelos Camp Only

Imagine the explorer’s surprise when they discover that they’re not alone in the jungles of Tuckahoe! A

mysterious hermit – the lone survivor of a forgotten shipwreck – has been dwelling in these woods for years.

This castaway has learned a lot about the land since he was stranded years ago, and he’s willing to share what

he’s learned with those he deems worthy. The Scouts will have to outlast Dr. Maligno’s minions in a series of

water challenges to secure the castaway’s aid. It’ll be a water carnival you won’t soon forget! We’ll be

introducing new water games this year in addition to maintaining some of our old favorites, including the

famous Leaders Belly-Flop Contest!

Campwide Event: Backcountry Bonfire (Campers Campfire) – Webelos Camp Only

Spending so much time on safari affords at least a little time to relax and enjoy some entertainment, so all of our

brave explorers will be invited to perform their best songs, skits, and cheers at our Backcountry Bonfire!

A CUB SCOUT’S WORLD

Every Cub Scout will want to explore the Tuckahoe Cub World – a place where imagination and

adventure come to life! We conduct most of our Cub Scout programs in this fantastic setting and, to add to the

attraction, we invite visiting units to schedule an overnight outpost in one of the sleeping facilities. We will do

our best to accommodate all requests for specific sites, but due to the popularity of this program we encourage

you to make your reservations early!

FRONTIER FORT: Crossing the great American plains was fraught with danger, and frontier forts were welcome

outposts of civilization. Your Scouts will love exploring the walls and towers of

our fort as they imagine themselves living life on the prairie. This year-round

cabin can accommodate up to 40 Scouts and leaders, and includes a kitchen,

woodstove, indoor rest rooms, and showers to make your stay more comfortable.

NATIVE AMERICAN VILLAGE: Your Scouts will enjoy learning about the diverse

cultures of America’s first inhabitants in the midst of our Teepee Village. Each

of our four teepees has nine mattresses for the comfort of overnight guests.

MOUNTAINTOP MINE: The cool, dark interior of our mountaintop mine provides welcome relief from the

summer’s heat. Brave Scouts will explore the mine in darkness before emerging on the other side.

MEDIEVAL CASTLE: Our castle calls to mind the distant days of kings,

queens, and knights of the Age of Chivalry. Scouts who scale its stonework

walls will no doubt imagine raising the drawbridge and flooding the moat to

ward off barbarian hordes. Behind the walls they’ll remain safe in a year-

round sleeping lodge, complete with 40 bunks, rest rooms, showers, a

woodstove, and kitchen.

PIRATE SHIP: No tour of Cub World would be complete without stowing away

aboard our Pirate Ship for a taste of some swashbuckling fantasy! Scouts will

man the sails, swarm the deck, and take a turn at the Captain’s Wheel while

exploring the New World in their imaginations. The lower deck contains 20 beds

for overnight visitors – unless they prefer to spend the night stargazing on deck!

BB AND ARCHERY RANGES: Every Scout can imagine himself a sharpshooter when he visits one of our

Shooting Ranges! Scouts will learn to safely shoot while practicing under the watchful eyes of our trained staff.

A slingshot range is also available for an extra challenge.

NATURE TREE HOUSE: This three-story observation deck rises around some of Tuckahoe’s tallest trees, and

here a Scout will be able to immerse himself in the wonders that surround him. Plants, insects, reptiles, birds –

nothing will escape the observant eye!

CUB WORLD ATHLETIC FIELD: Cub Scouts seem to have boundless energy, and our activity field gives them a

great place to run and play.

CUB WORLD PAVILION: This pavilion contains enough seating for any large gathering, making it the perfect

place to meet and make new friends.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAM INFORMATION

Cub Scout Honor Badge

Every camper will prepare an honor badge on the day they arrive at camp. As your Cub Scouts advance

through our program areas they will earn colored beads to display on this badge. Scouts appreciate this instant

recognition of their efforts, and the honor badge will prove to be a cherished symbol of their time at Tuckahoe.

Polar Bear Swim & Fitness Trail

If you’re in the mood for a little morning exercise, these two programs will

satisfy even the earliest risers! Swimming in the “arctic” water of our pool, or running

through a demanding fitness trail, will surely build your appetite for breakfast.

Interfaith Chapel Service

During every session this summer, Scouts will be invited to a campwide assembly to give thanks and

praise to our Creator. These non-denominational, interfaith services are conducted on Tuckahoe’s historic

Memorial Mall, within sight of the Chapel of the Four Chaplains. Songs will be sung, lessons will be offered,

and all will recall the Scout’s highest obligation is to do his duty to God and country.

Cub World Overnight Excursion

While your campsite will serve as “home base” during your stay at Tuckahoe, every pack can schedule

an overnight excursion to sleep in one of our Cub World theme areas. Reservations will be honored in the order

they are received until all spaces are full, so don’t wait until the last minute to stake your claim! Please indicate

your preference when you register for camp, and expect to be informed of your assignment on the evening of

your arrival.

The Fort and Castle, perennial favorites, each accommodate 40 campers. The Native American Teepee

Village has space for 36 campers, while the Pirate Ship can accommodate 20. Please note that, while not quite

as weatherproof as our other options, in fair weather the teepees and ship can provide overnight experiences that

are impossible to beat!

Participants in this program will transport their own gear from the campsite, so we suggest limiting your

overnight gear to what you can comfortably carry (a sleeping bag and pillow would suit most campers). You

should also plan to awaken early enough to return to your campsite, clean up, and still make it to our morning

flag raising ceremony on time.

Family Night Barbecue

What better way to conclude your stay at Tuckahoe than to host your family and

friends for a little taste of the camping experience? Guests may arrive between 5:00 pm

and 6:00 pm on the final day of each session and, for a small charge, join us for dinner.

Guests may even plan to stay for the closing campfire show! Please inform your guests

in advance of our requirement that all guests check in at our Camp Office upon their

arrival.

salamanders, frogs, toads, and more! Scouts will also hike along a mountain stream and learn the importance of

CAMP TUCKAHOE

WEBELOS PROGRAM SCHEDULE

2014

Upon arriving at Camp Tuckahoe each unit will be assigned to one of eight program rotation groups.

These assignments will be finalized and announced at the Leaders’ Meeting. The unit will then travel with that

group for all scheduled program periods to ensure that every Scout has an opportunity to enjoy every program

we offer. Any unit choosing to participate in the Tuckahoe Rangers program for Second Year Webelos will do

so on the days they would otherwise rotate through Scoutcraft and Sports & Games. Below please find a

sample schedule showing how your week will proceed.

PROGRAM AREA DESCRIPTIONS

Boating and Fishing Explorers from all ages have found lakes and rivers are convenient ways to travel,

and fish a vital source of food. Down on the shores of Memory Lake, Scouts enjoy

a variety of water sports. Boating always proves a popular pastime, and boys are

encouraged to bring their own fishing poles to catch fish. Scouts may also enjoy a

brief outing aboard our Huck Finn Raft!

Fishing Belt Loop

1. Review your local fishing regulations with your leader or adult partner. Explain why

they are important, and commit to following them.

2. Demonstrate how to bait a hook properly.

3. Spend at least 30 minutes trying to catch a fish.

Handicraft Your visit to our Handicraft Area will certainly satisfy your creative impulses, as Scouts discover and refine

their artistic instincts. Not only will Scouts learn to sketch and paint, they will also have an opportunity to assist

the staff in using the Tuckahoe branding iron. Dens which choose to participate in our Rover Race will also

have an opportunity to decorate their cars here during the open program period.

Art Belt Loop

1. Make a list of common materials used to create visual art compositions.

SPECIAL OPEN PROGRAM ACTIVITY: Scouts (with their parent’s permission) will be

able to work with the staff to create some unique souvenirs by branding their belts, ball-

caps, or bits of wood with our Camp Tuckahoe brand.


22

Nature Early explorers were sometimes the first naturalists, for their discoveries often included new species of plants

and animals. An explorer’s telescope also helps us to explore the final frontier – outer space!

Scouts who visit our nature center will encounter many specimens of local wildlife – snakes, turtles,

salamanders, frogs, toads, and more! Scouts will also hike along a mountain stream and learn the importance of

safeguarding our natural resources.

Astronomy Belt Loop

1. Demonstrate how to focus a simple telescope or binoculars.

2. Draw a diagram of our solar system – identify the planets and other objects.

3. Explain the following terms: planet, star, solar system, galaxy, the Milky Way, black

hole, red giant, white dwarf, comet, meteor, moon, asteroid, star map, and universe.

Forester Activity Badge – (Complete 5 of 10 requirements) 3. Identify six forest trees common to the area where you live. Tell how both wildlife and

humans use them.

4. Identify six forest plants (other than trees) that are useful to wildlife. Tell which animals

use them and for what purposes.

5. Draw a picture showing: how water and minerals in the soil help a tree grow; how the tree uses

sunlight to help it grow.

6. Make a poster showing a tree’s growth rings or examine the growth rings of a tree stump. Explain how

the rings tell its life history.

9. Describe both the benefits and the harm wildfires can cause in a forest ecosystem. Tell how you can

Tuckahoe Tracking Pit and learn how to make plaster casts of animal tracks. Scouts are also welcome to return to the

Nature Lodge to complete requirements for the Leave No Trace Award.

Cub Scout Leave No Trace Award

While you won’t be able to complete all of the requirements for this award in one session at the Nature

Lodge, our knowledgeable staff will help your Scouts toward completing the following requirements:

1. Discuss with your leader or parent/guardian the importance of the Leave No Trace frontcountry

guidelines.

3. Earn the Outdoorsman activity badge. [This can be done at Scoutcraft.]

Scoutcraft Scoutcraft is the art of living out-of-doors, and it’s the heart of the Scouting program! A short stay in this area

will have your Scouts wanting to live like a castaway on some deserted tropical island. Note: This program

area is optional for Second Year Webelos, who may decide to participate in the Tuckahoe Ranger Program

instead.

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) While some brave explorers push back the boundaries of our geographical

knowledge, others endeavor to unlock the secrets of the universe! Someday

soon safari guides may even lead expeditions to new frontiers on different

worlds. This inspires an interesting question… what if the Tuckahoe Tribe

didn’t disappear… what if it returned to outer space? With science and

technology, the impossible begins to seem possible!
