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! Evan Yingst Many Point Camping Director 2 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! 3 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. 4 Many Point Rules and Policies 5. The camp speed limit is 15 m.p.h.

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.

Many Point Scout Camp — 2016 Leader’s Guide 5 Administration Health and Safety — Physical Examinations BSA Health and Medical Family Camp Health Records Record All youth and adults attending Many Point must have a completed Long Term BSA Health and Medical 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 annually by a medical professioanl (professional qualifications are listed on the form). 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”.

In an emergency situation, please have a staff member in your camp help you contact the Health Lodge for assistance and relay relevant information. Parents, or guardians, will be notified of a camper illness or injury if it requires a trip to town or overnight stay at the Health Lodge. There is no charge for medical services performed in camp for Scouts and leaders, except for certain medical supplies. All campers needing services performed in town at the hospital/ clinic are required to handle payments through the Troop or family insurance policy. Family campers will receive medical treatment only on an emergency basis. Other medical issues will be referred to the hospital/clinic in town. Many Point Scout Camp — 2016 Leader’s Guide Administration 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. Additional Information can be obtained at: www.stopticks.org www.lymediseaseassociation.com www.ilads.org Health Lodge Regular Health Lodge “sick call” hours are held from: 8:30 a.m. — 9:30 a.m. and from 6:30 p.m. — 7:30 p.m. Severe Weather Emergency medical help is available at all times. Concrete severe weather shelters are located throughout Many Point and emergency procedures are posted on the bulletin boards in each campsite. Administration building staff consistently monitor weather conditions using information from the National Weather Service. In the event of a weather emergency, staff will notify Troops and direct them to the appropriate locations. Shelters always remain unlocked so that Scouts may utilize the buildings at any time.

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. Many Point Scout Camp — 2016 Leader’s Guide 9 Administration 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. See proposed menu on pages 35-36 for more details.

Comments: 32 Many Point Scout Camp — 2016 Leader’s Guide 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. Example Rank Requirements Rank Three: Silver Camper 1. Earn an amount of money agreed upon by your parent or guardian to pay for some or all of your way to camp. 2. Pass the BSA Beginner’s Swim Test or greater. 3. Participate in the Ironman competition as an individual or as part of a team. 4. Demonstrate the use of a map and compass and complete an orienteering course. 5.

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.

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.
