Welcome to Many Point
A Great Summer Ahead
Dear Leaders,
Prepare yourself for an exciting Scouting experience at Many Point Scout Camp in 2016.
Through your support of Many Point, we have been able to continue making the camp improvements and program additions that make Many Point the outstanding experience that you want for your Scout troop or Venturing crew.
We truly value each of the campers who come to Many Point and many of our exciting improvements and additions have been sparked by the ideas you suggested. We understand that introducing new advancement encourages more of your Scouts to return to camp, with provides great youth leadership for your Troop. Based on Scout
feedback, we are adding Signs, Signals, and Codes and Personal Fitness merit badges to this year’s offerings.
We are also improving opportunities for your older Scouts. We have consolidated our offerings into three tiers of
adventure and have added components to each level. Water Sports Outpost continues to be a “must do” event with
jet skis, water skiing, wakeboarding and more. We are adding a brand new program to tier three – Older Scout
Cot Surfing. This program will allow Scouts premier access to Flintlock’s overnight programs and stay somewhere
new and exciting each evening. We are also adding a new Five Stand Outpost to our older Scout lineup. Five
Stand is a shotgun shooting competition that includes a mixture of both Trap and Skeet shooting, and will give
Scouts a new challenge in the realm of Shooting Sports.
We are also making improvements to our merit badge program as well. We have been diving deep into our Eagle
required merit badges with a focus of adding action learning. For example, the Camping merit badge has a requirement related to weighing the pros and cons of four different types of tents. This summer, Scouts will be able
to actually set up four different tents in class, and then be able to share their thoughts on which tent is best for
each situation. We are also continuing our Magic Studios program. This will give all Scouts direct access to earn
Moviemaking, Journalism, and Photography merit badges while capturing the magic of Many Point and publishing a camp newspaper each week. If Scouts are looking for new opportunities in Outdoor Skills, we are expanding our Outdoor Skills kitchen areas that will bring cooking competitions to the area. We are also improving our
infrastructure. We remodeled the Voyageur trading post to expand space for both inventory and Scouts. We are
adding larger mail boxes for Voyageur units that will also include personnel charging outlets.
We continue our quality commitment as we sought, and received, accreditation by the American Camping Association. Fewer than 5% of the Boy Scout Camps in the country are accredited by the ACA. What it will mean to
you is the assurance of a safe facility, properly trained staff and a quality program.
I hope you are as excited as I am about the great experience ahead. This 2016 Leader’s Guide is provided to give
you the information you will need to get ready for your exciting Many Point experience.
See you at camp!

Many Point Scout Camp — 2016 Leader’s Guide
Many Point Scout Camp
Your Tool for a Great Scouting Experience
The Goal
Many Point Scout Camp is your tool
for a great Scouting experience. Many
Point Scout Camp is here for your
Scout Troop to use to meet its goals of
carrying out the Mission of Scouting
through the outdoor program. Many
Point Scout Camp is here for you!
When Many Point
was opened in 1946,
it was the first Scout
Camp in the country
to be designed and
built specifically for
Scout Troop camping.
The base of the Many
Point “Idea” was that
“…Scouts could be
taught, and experience, the fundamentals and the mechanics of citizenship
in a democratic society through the
community life of a Scout Troop in
camp.” This was faithful to the stated,
ultimate purpose of Scouting, “…to
produce men of character trained for
citizenship.”
Many Point, today, still holds on to
the “Many Point Idea.” We are here
for the sole purpose of helping you,
the Scout Troop, to produce people of
character trained for citizenship.
We will do this through offering
exciting programs, having trained staff,
serving great food, and helping you as
much as we can. But we should never
lose track of the camp’s main objective:
to provide the Troop the opportunity
to develop their Scouts.
It is our goal that, after your Many
Point experience, your Troop goes
home a stronger Troop, more able to
spend the next 51 weeks producing
people of character trained for citizenship - to return to Many Point to “…
produce men…” and build a stronger
Troop - to go home for 51 weeks…
How Do You Do It?
It starts right now as you’re planning
for camp. Use the patrol method to
have Scouts, by patrol, share their interests in the activities they would like
to do at Many Point. Use the Patrol
Leader’s Council to summarize the
patrol’s interests into a common Troop
list of the most popular programs. This
reinforces the patrol
method and gives
them that opportunity for “participating citizenship”.
Give patrol
leaders whatever
coaching may be
necessary to get them ready to lead
and represent their patrol. Review the
use of duty rosters, how to get and give
information, and review with them as
much as possible about your trip and
camp plans so they can be a source of
information to their patrol members.
At camp, work through your Senior
Patrol Leader and Patrol Leader’s
Council to make and carry out plans.
Activities planned and carried out by
boy leaders, with appropriate counsel
and guidance, are usually enjoyed by all
Troop members.
By using and reinforcing the patrol
method, the Scouts in your Troop will
learn responsibility, cooperation and
leadership - big parts of citizenship and your Troop will go home stronger.
It’s important,
it’s meaningful,
and it’s FUN.
What Can You Expect?
So what can you expect from Many
Point? We will take care of some
things so you can focus on working
with your Troop:
We will provide you with a campsite
with water, picnic tables, flag pole, fire
ring and a latrine.
We will take care of getting the food.
Many Point Scout Camp — 2016 Leader’s Guide
Based on the sub camp you are in, you
will cook all, some or none of it.
We will have equipment available
for you. You can use ours or bring your
own.
We will have a supporting infrastructure that will provide trained
health facility personnel, sanitation
and administrative support.
We will have trained camp staff that
will:
•Lead merit badge and First Class
Adventure help sessions.
•Lead programs that require trained
or certified instructors like shooting ranges, climbing towers, Project
COPE or a whole list of aquatics
activities.
•Coordinate camp-wide activities
that help build a bigger camp community like campfires, competitions
and religious services.
•Help you develop a schedule that
coordinates your Troop’s use of the
camps facilities and activities.
•Help you out wherever and however
they can.
Now What?
Sound good? You bet it is. It’s important, it’s meaningful and it’s FUN.
Now for some of the fun. Read on in
this Leader’s Guide and see all of the
exciting things you will be able to do
at Many Point with your Scouts. This
Guide will take you through, step by
step, the things you can do to make it
possible to “…develop men of character trained for citizenship.”
Thank you for your willingness to be a leader at Many
Point Scout Camp. We will
do all that we can to make
your experience successful!

Administration
Troop Leadership, Insurance, and Policies
Troop Leadership
The person in charge of your Troop
must be at least twenty-one (21) years
of age; there are no exceptions. In addition, it is the policy of the Boy Scouts
of America that: “trips and outings
may never be led by only one adult. At
least two adult leaders, one of whom
must be 21 years or older, are required
for all trips and outings with at least
one adult having completed BSA
Youth Protection training.” The result
is more fun for the adults and a better
program for the Scouts.
Leadership in camp will not be
a problem if you approach it early.
Sources of leadership include your
regular Scoutmaster, Troop committee members, parents, and members of
your sponsoring institution. If you are
having problems, now is the time to
contact your District Camping Chairperson for assistance in locating good
leaders.
Camper Insurance
It is absolutely necessary that your
Troop be covered by medical and accident insurance while at camp. A copy
of your certificate of insurance and
necessary information for processing a
claim (policy number, certificate number or ID number, and the insurance
billing information, including address
and a “First Notice of Claim” form, if
required) must be on file before your
Troop will be allowed to camp at
Many Point. This insurance is secondary to a family’s insurance.
Northern Star Council Troops are
covered under the council’s medical
and accident insurance policy. If your
Troop does not have insurance, please
contact your local council. A National
policy is available at a minimal fee.

Administration
Camp Policies, Mail, and Phone
Buddy System
Scouts must be instructed to use the
buddy system when hiking or exploring around camp and are encouraged
to inform their leaders of their plans
when leaving their campsite.
Personal Mountain Bikes
Hiking remains the encouraged
method of transportation at Many
Point. All program areas within a
camp can be reached on foot. Those
Scouts and leaders who choose to use
their own personal mountain bikes to
get to the more distant parts of Many
Point, like the outpost programs in
Flintlock, must agree to follow Many
Point’s bike safety policies. Failure to
comply with these regulations will
result in the loss of riding privileges.
Personal Mountain Bike
Safety Policies
Attend the bike safety orientation
session and have your bike registered.
The bikes of those attending the
orientation will be visually identified.
Bikes cannot be ridden at Many Point
without this identification.
Only “big tire” bikes are allowed.
Many Point’s roads will not accommodate narrow-tire bikes. Industry
approved helmets MUST be worn at
all times.
Bike riders must follow all traffic
regulations:
•Ride on the right side of the road.
•Stop for Stop signs.
•Obey one-way directional signs.
•Ride only on roads or approved trails.
(To prevent erosion and for the safety
of hikers, most trails within a camp
will not be approved). Do not exceed
speed limits.
•Bikes must be parked in designated
areas or out of normal traffic paths.
•Bikes must be ridden in a responsible
manner.
Many Point wants to continue to try
and accommodate the limited usage of
personal mountain bikes by its campers.
We will continue to review if mountain bikes can be compatible with the
camp environment. Thank you for your
cooperation.

Health and Safety — Physical Examinations
BSA Health and Medical Family Camp Health
Records
Record

Record on file at the Health Lodge.
National BSA policy requires that
each participant, regardless of age, uses
the same form and has it completed

We strongly recommend that all
health forms be collected by the unit
leader at least two weeks prior to
camp, to ensure that all Scouts have a
completed form.
The camp physical has provided
early detection of potential problems
and valuable information needed in
case of an emergency. It has helped
make camp a safer place.
Each participant at Family Camp
must submit a completed Short Term
Medical Record upon arrival at camp.
These records do not require a signature by a medical professional.
All Things SCUBA
In addition to completing the Long
Term Medical Record, participants in
the SCUBA program must also have
the PADI Scuba Physical form completed by a physician.
Medical Services
Minor first aid can be handled by
your Troop with your Troop’s first aid
kit. If needed, additional supplies and
staff help are located in your camp.
Other injuries or illnesses can be referred to the Health Lodge.
Although medical services are
available 24 hours a day, please limit
non-emergency visits to the Health
Lodge to those times in the morning
and evening designated for “sick call”.

Medications and Severe Weather
Medications
Any medications to be taken at camp
must be listed on the camper’s physical form. All campers who use “rescue”
drugs for conditions such as severe
allergic reactions, blood sugar regulation, or asthma are urged to carry the
medication with them at all times.
Wearing a fanny pack containing the
drug, description of the problem, and
instructions for use is recommended.
Daily or “as needed” medication
must be stored in a locked box at camp.
Many Point will have lock boxes available for Troops to borrow. Medication
must come to camp in its original prescription bottle with the Scout’s name,
dosage, and frequency listed on it.
Parents should talk to the adult
leaders attending camp in advance
about their willingness to assist with
the Scout’s medication. Parents should
provide signed instructions for the
leaders. The Health Lodge is available to support issuing medication if
preferred or required.
Deer Tick Advisory
Problems associated with various ticks have been widely reported
throughout much of the country, including the area surrounding Northern Star Council Camps in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Located below is an information sheet on Deer Ticks and Lyme
Disease that we encourage you to share with families of Scouts attending camp.
Wood and Deer Tick Advisory
NORTHERN STAR COUNCIL CAMPS
With proper planning and education, tick problems can be minimized
Problems associated with various ticks have been widely reported throughout much of the
country including the area surrounding our Scout Camps in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Please
share this information with all parents, leaders and Scouts in your unit who are planning
to attend camp this summer or who have attended summer camp.
Precautions to take while at Scout Camp
All campers should wear a good quality insect repellant when they are in the woods. The most
effective repellant to combat ticks is one that contains 30% Deet (or permethrin).
Leaders may wish to bring spray type insect repellant so that it can be sprayed on clothes.
Please do not let Scouts use aerosol sprays unsupervised because of potential dangers from
misuse including damage to eyes and the flammability of the product.
Review tick information that is available in your leader manuals. Share this information with the
Scouts and their Parents as well as the leaders in your park or troop.
Make “tick checks” part of the daily routine at camp. Scouts should be reminded every day to
check for ticks. Having a buddy such as a tentmate assist is a good idea. Regular showers
will also help with early detection.
What to do upon returning home
Check for any ticks that may have remained on the body after leaving camp.
Early sings and symptoms appear 3 to 32 days after at tick bite and may include fever, fatigue,
headache, aching joints, nausea and often a bulls eye type rash. If any of these symptoms
appear, you should see a doctor.
If you see a doctor, make them aware that you were in an area with a high concentration of
ticks and Lyme disease.
If tested positive for Lyme Disease or a tick related illness, you will be put on antibiotics and no
symptoms should remain or reoccur.
If Lyme disease is not treated when the early symptoms are present, many persons will develop
late symptoms of the disease. These may occur weeks to even years after the initial
exposure.
If a Scout comes home from camp and finds he has any type of tick related illness, please call
651-254-9133 and give the Scouts name, phone #, unit #, week at camp and the campsite
name. This information can be left on a recorded message if necessary. This information
will help the Camp Program Committee track the occurrences and help in future policy
decisions.

(Individual Scout)
Camping
Many Point offers opportunities
for individual Scouts who are unable
to attend Summer camp with their
Troop the possibility of still coming
to camp. These Scouts can sign up for
our greatly successful All Star Troop.
Scouts from all over the country will
form a provisional unit that lasts for
one week only at Many Point Scout
Camp. this Troop will even elect a Se-
tested water, and if you desire, food
service. From those basics, your Troop
can develop its own program. If you
meet the requirements of the Safe
Swim Defense Plan and Safety Afloat,
you may run your own waterfront
program (merit badges, swims, etc.).
Based upon availability, you may have
camp boats and canoes at your beach.
To conform with the requirements of
the Boy Scouts, we need a copy of the
necessary waterfront certifications for
our files.
Many Point’s facilities can be the basis for a wonderful independent camping experience. Based upon availability,
certain elements of the Many Point
program may be an option that your
Troop may want to utilize. Contact the
Northern Star Council offices for more
details.
Counselor in Training (CIT) Program
Many Point prides itself on having one of the finest staff anywhere and is
continually searching for the best to join them. Our 5-week CIT Program,
for Scouts at least 15 years old, gives Scouts the chance to learn necessary
skills, get some supervised practice, and have a lot of fun living and working with the staff.
CIT’s spend the first week in a training base camp learning the skills
necessary to support a Troop and the Scouts at camp. The next four week
are spent rotating through each of Many Point’s program camps (Buckskin,
Ten Chiefs, Flintlock, and Voyageur), working with the staff and practicing
the skills learned in base camp.
Leaders should encourage their older Scouts who show leadership and
enjoy working with younger Scouts in your Troop to apply for a Counselor
in Training position. Two 5-week sessions are available. An application is
included in this Guide.

Food Service
Food Service Options
Many Point believes in providing
food service options so your Troop can
pick the food service that best fits your
goals. There are four service options
available for Troops attending Many
Point.
Dining Hall Service, available only
to Troops camping in Buckskin, provides three home-style meals each day.
Hotstack / Patrol Cooking food
service is available only to Troops
camping in Ten Chiefs. All breakfast
and lunch food comes uncooked and
packaged from the Commissary for
each patrol to prepare in their campsite. Supper meals come precooked
from the Dining Hall in a hotstack
container: you set the table and serve.
after supper you clean the hotstack
container and return it to the roadside
stand. This option is a combination of
the patrol cooking and Dining Hall
menus.
Patrol Cooking food service is
available to Troops camping in Ten
Chiefs, Voyageur, or Pioneer. All food
is received uncooked and packaged
one meal at a time from the Commissary for each patrol to prepare in the
campsite. For convenience, an effort
has been made to design the patrol
cooking menu with simple lunches.
Independent food service can be
used by Troops camping in Ten Chiefs,
Voyageur, or Pioneer. The Troop is
completely responsible for all its food
and for meeting all State Health Department requirements regarding food
storage and preparation.
Meal Counts
Troops will be asked at check-in
to provide a meal by meal count of
the number of Scouts and leaders (by
10
patrol) eating with their Troop. Food
deliveries and Troop fee charges are
based on these numbers.
Visitor Meals
Visitors can purchase a meal ticket
at the Administration Building during normal business hours and eat in
the Dining Hall. Advance notice is
required. Meals are $5.00 each.
Eating Utensils
Campers in Ten Chiefs and Voyageur should bring a reusable knife,
fork, spoon, cup, plate, and bowl. No
paper service is provided with the Patrol Cooking or hotstack food services.
Stoves
A cast-iron, wood burning Sheepherder stove is available for rent with
each patrol campsite. LP-gas stoves are
available for rent (see fee schedule) to
Troops using the Patrol Cooking food
service with gas being provided as part
of the rental. Advanced reservations
(on the “pink card”) for LP-gas stoves
is recommended.
Food Storage
Each campsite in Buckskin, Ten
Chiefs and Voyageur will have a food
storage container to protect any food
from “critters.” Containers are made
of a concrete block with a metal door.
Troops are encouraged to bring a padlock for the door.
Troops should establish a system to
collect all food (especially treats) from
patrol boxes and each Scout each night
to put in the food storage container.
Eat it Up – It’s the Law!
In compliance with Minnesota Department of Health Regulations and
Many Point Scout Camp — 2016 Leader’s Guide
National Standards of the Boy Scouts
of America, the storage of perishable
foods in campsites is not allowed. This
includes all dairy products and meat.
This regulation is intended to protect
the health and safety of campers. The
menus and deliveries are designed so
as to not require long term perishable
food storage. Eat all food or dispose
of it and let the Commissary know if
you are receiving too much of any food
item so waste can be avoided.
Ice is available for purchase for use
with nonperishable food (e.g. KoolAid).
Dietary Restrictions
We will do our best to meet the
special dietary needs of Scouts in your
Troop. We have alternative menu suggestions or will provide substitutions
for those who have special dietary
restrictions due to medical or religious
reasons. We have plans to help meet
the needs of those allergic to dairy,
gluten, or nuts.
A good Scout is responsible and
therefore must also monitor what he
or she eats to ensure it is compliant
with their normal diet. We will NOT
be able to meet the special dietary
needs of your Scout without advance
notice. Special dietary restrictions
must be shared with our camp Food
Services Director two weeks prior to
your arrival.

for more details.

Your first step will be to help determine each Scout’s advancement needs.
Do this by reviewing your Troop
advancement records and identifying
the projects, skills and merit badges
each Scout needs in advancing to the
next rank. Make a list of programs,
special demonstrations and projects
that will help your Scouts achieve their
advancement goals.
For example, if a number of your
Scouts need a hike for their advance-
Scouts working on advancement requirements for Tenderfoot through 1st
Class can participate in Many Point’s
1st Class Adventure program. Many of
the outdoor requirements are covered
in these daily 2-hour morning and
1-hour afternoon help sessions. Scouts
work with the camp staff to learn the
skills needed to pass the requirements.
Troop adult leaders are encouraged
to attend to work with their Scouts
and facilitate signing off their requirements.

In planning your Troop’s program,
you should approach it in four phases:
(1) Advancement, (2) Troop Activities, (3) Older Scout Activities and
(4) Unit-led Programs. To help you,
an Advancement Planning Sheet, a
Program Planning Worksheet and an
Adventure Program Request Form
have been provided. These tools will
help you develop a well rounded summer camp program for your Troop. Be
prepared to share these forms when
you arrive on Sunday.
Blank merit badge cards are available at each of the camp lodges. Please
fill out the cards with the appropriate
information and hand them to the
counselors during Merit Badge Update on Wednesday evening.
Counselors will use Friday evening
to fill in the remaining information
before returning them to your Troop
mailbox the next morning. Please
remember to check your mailbox at
the Camp Lodge before you check out
on Saturday.

Many Point prides itself on the
variety and diversity of programs it
offers and the staff ’s ability to tailor
a program to suit the needs of your
Troop.
Each of the Many Point sub-camps
develop their own weekly program
schedule, but all divide the day similarly. Mornings are reserved for work
on advancement. Afternoons are for
Troop activities where your Troop
will do camp activities (e.g. Climbing
Tower) as an entire Troop. Evenings
are for open activities where Scouts
can return to any of the open program
areas in buddy pairs.

ment, include a Troop or patrol hike
on your program list.
Next, you need to help each Scout
choose the 1st Class Adventure (for
Tenderfoot to 1st Class) and/or merit
badges he will work on at summer
camp. Consult page 15 for a list of
requirements to be completed before
camp.
Visit with each Scout to find out
his personal interests. Then, using the
Advancement Planning Worksheet,
list each Scout’s name and indicate the
merit badges, 1st Class Adventure and
instructional sessions each would like
to work on at camp.

Program
Activity Descriptions
Many Point offers a wide variety of
Camp Activities that your Troop can
participate in with the camp staff support.
These activities sometimes have a limiting resource (equipment or facility) that
requires that your Troop be scheduled into
that activity at a specific time. The camp
staff will help you coordinate that scheduling.
Many of these activities are also available in the evenings for “open and merit
badge practice time.” Here are some of the
activities:
Aquatics
Polar Bear - Run into the water with the
staff early in the morning!
Sailing - Your Troop can use the fleet of
sunfish sailboats.
Canoeing - Use the camp’s canoes and
investigate the Many Point shoreline or
what’s on the other side.
Rowing - Head out and catch a fish.
Instructional swim - Daily opportunities
are available for all Scouts to sharpen their
swimming skills. Includes a Snorkeling
B.S.A. course. Snorkeling - Your Troop
can check out the Many Point underwater world with the camp’s masks, fins and
snorkels. Combine with canoeing and
snorkel another part of Many Point.
Mile swim - Once a week, Scouts can have
the chance to “go the distance” and swim
a mile. The Many Point segment can be
worn for completion. To earn the B.S.A.
mile swim patch, practice laps are required
during the week. Open swims - The beach
is open most evenings.
Troop swims - Your troop can have its
own time at the beach.
Troop beaches - Your troop can set up
and run your own swim period at your
campsite. Canoes and rowboats may be
available. Specific standards must be met.
Water Polo - Have a friendly troop water
polo match.
Greased Watermelon - Water polo with
a greased watermelon. Extra program
charge.
25ft. Aqua Trampolines - Cool off by
18
bouncing from the trampoline into the
lake.
Tandem Kayaks - Explore the many bays
using these 2-person crafts.
Shooting Sports
Archery - Your troop can take aim at
the archery range and try to get into the
“Bullseye Club.” Club members qualify to
earn the “Bullseye” segment.
Rifle - Troop shoots can be scheduled
with the camp’s .22 rifles.
Shotgun - Your troop can choose to hold
a Troop trap shoot (extra fee).
Throwing Tomahawks - Scouts can try
their hand at hitting a target with throwing tomahawks.
Slingshots - take aim with “wrist-rocket”
type slingshots.
Nature Programs
There’s a lot of nature to explore at Many
Point.
Nature Lodge - Each camp has a Nature
Lodge to conduct nature merit badges and
a wide variety of nature programs. Your
Troop can sign up for a nature program
and pick from a list of activities.
Night Skies - The mysteries and legends
of the stars and planets come alive.
Outdoor Skills
Climbing Towers and Bouldering Walls
- Your Troop can get a “climb time” to
try the wide variety of climbing routes on
your camp’s tower and horizontal practice
wall. Routes range from beginner (big,
frequent holds) to more challenging sides
rated in the 5.9 range. The walls have oververticals, ceilings and a rappel side. Leaders and interested Scouts are encouraged
to participate in the supervised belaying of
the climbers.
Lost & Found: Orienteering - Test your
map and compass skills as your Troop
navigates our course.
What’s Cooking?: Camp Cooking You’ll cook up something great when you
try our different techniques and recipes.
Many Point Scout Camp — 2016 Leader’s Guide
Survivor Man: Wilderness Survival Check your ability to survive in the wild
with our tips and tricks.
Geo-Caching & GPS - Use a GPS to
find hidden locations
Others include: Knots and lashing, Totin’
Chip, Firem’n Chit & fire building, and
Leave No Trace.
The Ironman
A personal challenge for all campers
(youth and adult). This triathalon starts
with a 1.5 mile canoe race with a partner,
goes into a 1/5 mile swim under close staff
supervision, and finishes with a 2 mile run.
All finishers are winners and qualify for
the coveted IRONMAN segment!
Frontier Outpost
Step back in time as your unit travels to
Many Point’s own living history outpost.
This interactive experience will take you
back to the 1860’s as you lend a hand to
the men of the McBain-Peake Lumber
Company with their authentic tools and
techniques. The work is plenty, and your
assistance is needed to tame the wild
frontier. You’ll see how the old timers used
to turn trees into a way to make a modest
living, and then you’ll practice those same
techniques as you learn about logging,
homesteading and the way things were.
The Frontier outpost is only accessible
by water, so your Troop will first travel to
the Buckskin area, where you will then
board the 12-man voyageur canoes for the
quick trip across the bay and into history.
100-Foot Fire Tower and
History Center
A fun combination program is a trip to
climb Many Point’s 100’ fire tower (An actual DNR fire tower purchased and moved
to a great overlook spot by the camp’s
Administration Building) and a visit to
Many Point’s History Center.
Scouts get to see all of Many Point and
more from the tower, even another fire
tower on the horizon. A staffed pro-
Program
Activity Descriptions
gram tells how fire towers were used and
Scouts get to try their hand at “calling in a
smoke.”
The History Center provides a “walk
through time” from the glacier age to the
present. Who lived here, how they lived
and why they lived here gives Scouts a
great perspective on who preceeded them.
Life-size diaramas and model campsites
show Scouts how Many Point and Scouting has changed over the past 60-plus
years.
DELTA
The Devloping Ethical Leaders through
Action (DELTA) Program was “born” at
Many Point in the Late 80’s. DELTA is a
values development program that encourages cooperation, trust, respect, caring, and
learning to make ethical decisions.
At Many Point your Troop will participate in fun problem solving activities
that will be followed by a reflection time
to help get at the “deeper meaning” of the
activity.
The DELTA Program at Many Point
will be lead by trained camp staff with
the goal of equipping your Troop with
the ability to continue the programs at
home in Troop meetings and campouts. A
special adult leader training will be held to
orient you to the program’s elements and
benefits.

a Troop a set of standards to aim towards.
The program is conducted within the
Troop with staff help if you would like.

ribbon. The requirements are included in
this Guide.
Red Lantern Brigade
The Red Lantern Brigade is a series of
camp advancement opportunities. Youth
can progress by completing a series of
ranks focused on a broad spectrum of
camp experiences and Scouting leadership.
By participating, youth will become better
campers, better leaders, and role models
for younger Scouts.
Back of the Moon
This program offered to Troops is a hike
or overnight to Back of the Moon Lake.
This special, secluded place is about a five
mile hike from the main part of Many
Point. It’s not easy to get to, but it will be
worth the trip.
This program is designed for the Scouts
and leaders who would appreciate a place
with solitude.
Log adirondack shelters are on the site
to provide overnight shelter.
Back in the 1940’s, Back of the Moon
was a secret retreat and place of “special
renewal” for Wint Hartman, Many Point’s
first Camping Director. The Many Point
Staff Alumni Association has developed
this site as a tribute to Wint Hartman’s
vision.

Age Requirement: going into 9th grade or older.
At its core, Water Sports Outpost combines advancement with programs so exciting that they
were previously restricted not only from Many
Point but Scouting in general. This outpost truly
takes adventure to the next level for Older Scouts
by replacing traditional morning advancement
with a package of water activities resulting in
skills and certifications good beyond their time
at camp. Best yet, your youth will still be able to
camp with and participate in activities with your
Troop or Crew. As part of the program, youth
will work on and do the following:
§Ride personal watercraft (Jet Skis)
§Water Sports Merit Badge, including waterskiing and wakeboarding
§MN Watercraft Operator’s Permit
§Kayaking BSA
Older Scout Adventure Blast*
The Older Scout Adventure Blast is one of Many Point’s finest older Scout programs. It is specifically designed to allow
your older Scouts the chance to experience their favorite
parts of in an all-encompassing morning program. Scouts
will have the opportunity to enjoy their favorite parts of
I.T.S.O., C.O.P.E., Treehouses, Spar Pole Climbing, Iceberg,
Mountain Biking and Kayaking, as well as enjoying our
ATV outpost program.
The Older Scout Adventure Blast truly takes adventure
to the next level for Older Scouts by replacing traditional
morning advancement with a package of Flintlock activities that will give Older Scouts the adventure they desire at
camp. Best yet, your oldest youth will still be able to camp
with and participate in afternoon and evening activities
with your troop or crew allowing your troop to keep its
most experienced scouts during the time your troop needs
its youth leadership most.
Older Scout Cot Surfing
Older Scout Cot Surfing is a fantastic program
for older Scouts. In this program Scouts will participate in an overnight program every night.
Whether it be a tried and true location such as
the Huck Finn rafts or the Treehouses, or a more
remote location such as the Yurt or Back of the
Moon Adirondacks, your older Scouts will be
able to see many of the different accommodations our camp has to offer.
In addition to this, they will also be able to participate in any activities offered at the locations
they choose to stay at, such as Spar Pole Climbing at the Treehouse or Blacksmithing at Frontier. The best part? Youth in this program can
participate in morning advancement time and
will have ample opportunity to provide leadership to the younger Scouts in their troop.
*Participants must be qualified as swimmers.

Camp Honors Award
Red Lantern Brigade
Description
At its outset, Many Point had a system of camp rank advancements to be earned and awarded at camp. In 2010,
we revived this program into what is known as the Red Lantern Brigade.
Youth can progress by completing a series of ranks focused on a broad spectrum of camp experiences and Scouting leadership. By participating, youth will become better campers, better leaders, and role models for younger
Scouts.
The purpose is threefold– to encourage participation in a variety of activities at camp, to keep Scouts participating at the Troop level, and to develop leadership skills useful in Scouting and beyond.
There are nine ranks, and up to two may be earned per summer. Upon completion of a rank, recognition items
(neckerchief and a segmented patch system) may be purchased in the camp trading post.
The ranks are Camper, Bronze Camper, Silver Camper, Gold Camper, Water Master, Craftsman, Guide, Master
Craftsman, and Captain.

your dietary requirements known to staff during the Sunday Dining Hall Orientation.
Peanut Allergy: We provide Sunbutter, a delicious alternative to peanut butter. The texture and color
is the same but completely nut-free. All canned and boxed items will be from a facility that does not
process peanuts or tree nuts. Please contact camp 2 weeks in advance to discuss all food allergies.
Note: The above items are what we keep on hand and provide for these specific purposes. If your participant has other preferences or requirements, please provide the food items and we will properly store
them and deliver them at the appropriate times.

Many Point Scout Camp — 2016 Leader’s Guide
Unit Swim Classification
Procedures
Units can conduct their own swim classifications before camp
The swim classification of individuals participating in a Boy Scouts of America activity is a key element in both
Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat. The swim classification tests should be renewed annually, preferably at the
beginning of each outdoor season. Traditionally, the swim classification test has only been conducted at a longterm summer camp. However, there is no restriction that this be the only place the test is conducted. It may be
more useful to conduct the swim classification prior to a unit going to summer camp.
All persons participating in BSA aquatics are classified according to swimming ability. The classification tests and
test procedures have been developed and structured to demonstrate a skill level consistent with the circumstances in which the individual will be in the water. All participants must retest annually. The Swimmer’s Test demonstrates the minimum level of swimming ability for recreational and instructional activity in a confined body of
water with a maximum 12-foot depth and with shallow water footing or a pool or pier edge always within 25 feet
of the swimmer.
The various components of each test evaluate the several skills essential to the minimal level of swimming ability
Each step of a test is importnat and should be followed as listed below.
Swimmer’s Test:
Jump feet first into the water over a head in depth, level off, and begin swimming. Swim 75 yards in a stong manner using one or more of the following strokes: side strokes, breast stroke, trudgen, or crawl; then swim 25 yards
using an easy resting back stroke. The 100 yards must be swam continuously and include at least one sharp turn.
After completing the swim, rest by floating.
Beginner’s Test
Jump feet first into water over a head in depth, level off, swim 25 feet on the surface, stop, turn sharply, resume
swimming as before, and return to the starting place.
ADMINISTRATION OF SWIM CLASSIFICATION TEST
OPTION 1 (at camp):
The swim classification test is completed the first day of camp by camp aquatics personnel.
OPTION 2 (At unit level with council-approved aquatics resource people):
The swim classification test done at a unit level should be conducted by one of the following council-approved
resource people: Aquatics Instructor, BSA Aquatics Supervisor, BSA Lifeguard, certified lifeguard, swimming instructor, or swim coach. When the unit goes to a summer camp, each individual will be issued a buddy tag under
the direction of the Aquatics Director for use at the camp.
SPECIAL NOTE:
When swim tests are conducted away from camp or at the point of activity, the Aquatics Director shall at all
times reserve the authority to review all participants to ensure that standards have been maintained.

BE A COUNSELOR IN TRAINING
The Counselor in Training (CIT) program at Many Point Scout Camp has been designed to
develop future staff members for Many Point and to provide personal development for Scouts.
In its long history, Many Point has continually been rated as one of the top camps in the nation.
This outstanding record is due largely to the quality of its staff and the continued development of
future staff members. You should be a part of this greatness.
As a CIT you will spend 5 weeks living and working with the staff of Many Point. Through this
close association you will learn first-hand the challenge and fun of being a Many Point Staff
member.
During your program you will also work on your BSA Lifeguard and have the chance to earn
merit badges.
It’s fun, too. Along with putting on outstanding programs for troops, the staff knows how to have
fun.
There are two sessions each summer, so you can pick the time that’s best for you.
A fee will be charged to cover food costs ($100 last year). Scholarships are available. All other
costs for the program are covered by the camp.
The CIT program is open to registered Scouts who will be at least 15 years old during the
summer they are a CIT, but is limited to 20 Scouts per session. Interested Scouts should apply
early.
Be a part of the fun, part of the greatness. Be a CIT. For more information, call 651-254-9158.

The primary purposes of family camp at Many Point Scout Camp are as follows:
1) To provide the families of unit leaders staying at camp the opportunity to spend time together.
2) To offer Scouting families, without a family member staying in camp, an opportunity to enjoy and become familiar with
camping facilities that are available to their children in the Scouting program.
The Northern Star Council Camping Committee has developed a policy that provides the families of unit leaders who are in camp the
first opportunity to make a reservation at family camp. Families who have members of family registered with the Northern Star Council
are given next priority to make reservations at family camp. An outline of the reservation process is listed below.
There are three distinct time periods when reservations can be made for 2017 Many Point Scout Camp Family Camp.
January 1, 2016 through August 31, 2016
Units currently registered to attend Many Point 2017 can register for up to 3 cabins and 3 tent/trailer sites in Family Camp.
September 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016
Units currently registered to attend Many Point in 2017 can register for as many cabins and tent/trailer sites as they will use.
January 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017
Any family with a registered Scouting member may register for cabins or tent/trailer sites.
