So – you’re wondering what to expect at the summer camps? Best thing to do is – be prepared. Scouts going to Ockanickon should take a look at the ages & stages page to better understand what badges are appropriate to their level. For scouts 13 and up, ‘Ock has some interesting rock climbing merit badges – take a look.
Yawgoog offers a lot as well. They have a good merit badge page describing the badges offered at Yawgoog and what pre-requisites are needed (if any). Here (pdf) is the schedule showing location / times of each session.
If you are thinking of swimming / aquatic badges, Yawgoog is the place to get it at – the lake is great for swimming and boating activities. Our campsite is Tuocs (scout spelled backwards) in the Three Point Camp.
Remember to get your class 3 health form in as soon as possible, and pack some warm clothes in case we get a cold night (it’s happened before – be prepared!).
