On January 14, 1927, at the height of the roaring twenties, local World War I Pennsylvania General Harry C. Trexler donated land to his community. He turned a lush tract of land in Monroe County into a camp for the Boy Scouts of the Lehigh County Council. The camp opened in 1928. . Today, premier attributes of this 900 acre Scout Reservation include: Separate Boy Scout and Cub Scout Resident Camps, Cub Scout Day Camps, two lakes with Fishing, Boating, and Canoeing and fully staffed waterfront. The reservation also has over 25 miles of hiking and orienteering trails and a GPS Course. Settlers Camp, the reservations Boy Scout Resident Camp has individual features such as Archery and Rifle Ranges, and one of the largest C.O.P.E. courses in the Northeast Region of the Boy Scouts of America. The camp also offers its unique Athletics area and an innovative new approach to earning Eagle Merit Badges at camp in a program named “Area 7”. We have features for age specific groups such as a full day First Year Camper Program, and our Older Scout High Speed-Low Drag Program as well. In recent years we have added a new program area where scouts learn badges completely hands in the Media Center. Our expanded dinning hall is a fantastic way to enjoy your meals at camp. New for 2014 is our very own Pole Sparring Program, Improved TOC Program Area, Disk Golf Course, and a New Shotgun Pavilion with Sporting clay range.

Want to spend more than one week at camp and work on Merit Badges you need to complete? Looking for a fun time just sailing, shooting, archery, climbing, Mountain Biking, C.O.P.E. or other camp activities with advancement in mind? Want to camp on “Your Time”? Don’t know how to do it? Well the answer may be as simple as linking up with a Provisional Troop! What is a Provisional Camper??? A resident camping experience for Scouts who are unable to attend camp with their Troop or who wish to attend an extra week or weeks of camp. The camp will work to place Scouts within Troops that are already planning to attend camp during the week that you want to attend. These Troops are already led by experienced Scouters that have many years of experience under their belts. Provisional camping is available each week that camp is in operation during the summer. The fee for provisional camping is $350 per week. We provide the program, the leadership, the campsite, the Scouting – all you have to do is provide the Scout, your choice of camps and the week/s that you want to attend. For an extensive program of Merit Badges refer to page 16 For registration information visit www.minsitrails.com or call 610-465-8568 MINSI TRAILS COUNCIL 12 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA Boy Scout Day Camp Not quite ready for overnight camp? Want to see what camp is like? Maybe you have a part time job in the evenings or need customized schedule? Looking to get a head start on your Boy Scout Advancements? Need to complete your Merit Badge partials? Just want to have some more fun??? Well, Boy Scout Day Camp may be perfect for you! What is Boy Scout Day Camp? Boy Scout Day Camp at either Settlers Camp or Camp Minsi is a regular Boy Scout summer camp program for all Scouts. Camp runs Monday to Friday from June 22th to August 2nd. Scouts can come one or more weeks, or they can come selected days for half days. Just tell us when you want to come. You can also arrive early for breakfast or stay late for dinner, it is your choice. You provide your own transportation. The cost is only $220 per week, $65 per day, or $45 per half day including lunch. There is a small fee for breakfast and/or lunch. Day Camp for Younger Scouts Day Camp for younger Scouts moving up from Webelos gives the Scout a positive initial experience with summer camp. Scouts participate in our first year camper program which focuses on outdoor skills and appropriate advancement activities for the ranks leading up to First Class. The program includes basic swimming instruction, and age appropriate merit badges. Coming for a full week or more is ideal for first year Scouts. Day Camp for Older Scouts Day Camp for the older Scout focuses on merit Badges, i.e. completing partials, work on advancement or just utilizing the aquatics area or the shooting sports areas to hone skills. If you are not yet First Class, you can also work on advancement requirements from Tenderfoot to First Class. Older Scouts often come to Day Camp because they have evening activities or a job that doesn’t let them stay overnight. Coming for a full week or more is ideal, but if you are just trying to finish up a merit badge partial, or want an afternoon of boating, you are welcome to come for a shorter period of time. If you are looking for an overnight resident camp experience, but can not attend with your Troop, be sure to check out the information on Provisional Camping.

In the past we have always published our merit badge information within our Leader’s guide, but in recent years this has become a problem with the many changes that occur to requirements from the National Council. In an effort to make sure each Scout completes the requirements we can’t cover or do at camp, we are publishing a tentative schedule for the badges we will be offering in 2014. Remember this is a tentative schedule until the release in January of merit badge changes from the national office. In February, check our website that has all the up to the minute information your troop will need to come to camp and the merit badge pre-requisites and complete merit badge schedule. We will also be distributing the final copy of the merit badge list and schedule at our first leaders meeting in March. You can visit us at www.trexlercamp.org. There you may also email our area directors directly with all your questions regarding a particular merit badge or about the program area. If you have any questions about the merit badge information please feel free to contact me. Yours in Scouting, Jim Korcienski James J.

Trexler Scout Reservation is a beautifully remote wooded area. One of its finer assets is the variety of wildlife that inhabit our camp. Sometimes, however, we can forget that this is their home, not ours. If an encounter with a wild animal should occur, back away slowly and steadily, making no sudden gestures or movements. It is also important to remember that our animals have survived for thousands of years without extra food from humans. They really can feed themselves. Please do not invite them to dinner. Maintain a clean trash bag as often as possible and do not keep sweets in tents. MINSI TRAILS COUNCIL 31 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA YOUTH PROTECTION GUIDELINES As Leaders of the largest youth organization in the world, we must be aware of some policies that will not only ensure the health and safety of our Scouts, but also protect us from any misinterpretation of action or deed. We have been charged with the care and guidance in physical, moral, and mental growth of our Scouts by their parents or guardians. The following is designed as a guide to assist us in this responsibility. If you have questions with this policy, ask the Camp Director for assistance. 1. The Scout Law is the Law of the Camp 2. Only in an emergency should a Scout be touched 3. No adults or Staff Member will sleep in the same quarters of a Scout Camper 4. Leaders must respect the privacy of youths in situations such as but not limited to, changing clothes and taking showers at camp. 5. Adults alone with a child (out of site of others) must be avoided - Always practice TWO DEEP LEADERSHIP: Two registered leaders, or one registered leader and a parent of a participating Scout or other adult, one of whom must be at least 21 years of age or older, are required for all summer camp, district, and council activities and year round camping programs in the Minsi Trails Council. Coed overnight activities require male and female adult leaders, both of whom must be 21 years of age or older, and whom must be a registered member of the BSA. **If your unit needs Two Deep Leadership coverage while in camp please contact the camp director prior to your arrival to make accommodations. 6. Campers MUST use the buddy system at ALL times. 7. Only Certified Medical Personnel perform medical examinations 8. Horseplay with campers is not allowed 9. Language to campers must be direct and specific, never abusing or demanding 10. Any serious offense should be reported to the Camp Director immediately and before any action is taken. This will provide a cooling off period, and time to get a second opinion. Severe problems: First Offense: Report the incident to the Camp Director to be documented Second Offense: Incident has been documented, Parents to be notified Third Offense: Documented and Youth is sent home, Parents will meet with the Camp Director and Scoutmaster (or Camp Leader) 11. The Scoutmaster (or Camp Leader) should deal with minor rule violations 12. Major rule violations (Fireworks, Drugs, Alcohol, Tobacco, Child Abuse, or suspected Child Abuse, damage to Camp Property et cetera, must be reported to the Camp Director. MINSI TRAILS COUNCIL 32 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA Sunday Check In With the amount of people that come into camp each week it is crucial that our check-in procedure run like a well oiled machine, For the comfort of all Troops coming in on Sunday afternoon, including your own, we ask that the following procedures be adhered too. Check in begins at 1:00 P.M. For safety reasons, we ask that your unit not enter camp past the lower parking lot before this time. Troops who have trailers may drop them off in their site prior to 12:00 P.M. No other vehicles are allowed up to the campsite until their respective troop has checked in with the Camp Director. Please pack just a few vehicles with the gear for your unit. Not every vehicle associated with your unit will be able to drive into the site. This is an opportunity for your unit to find out how to get to your site. At 1:00 P.M. you will be assigned a member of the Staff to act as your Site Guide. The Site Guide will walk you through the check in. Scouts and Leaders are to arrive at camp wearing the proper BSA Field Uniform, The Scoutmaster should have all medical forms, rosters, and prescription medications. Underneath the uniform Scouts should be wearing a bathing suit and be prepared for the swim tests. As per BSA National Policy, units may dispense prescription medications at the site as long as medications are properly stored and logs are kept. Camp will provide locked storage areas in each site shed. Evening Retreat on Sunday is at 6:00 P.M.

If you have any questions, please let us know. Most importantly, neatness counts. Here is the proper way to complete this crucial piece of information: BACK OF TAG FRONT OF TAG T1 Week 1 B.

Properly filled out forms, along with safety precautions mandated by the Boy Scouts of America, result in our Scouts being well protected so they can concentrate on the important things in life- like winning canoe races. Thanks for all of your help, and we look forward to seeing you this summer! MINSI TRAILS COUNCIL 35 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA Health Lodge Procedures The Health Lodge at Settlers is located on the main Camp Road. Our Chief Health Officer will be in Charge at all times, (as mandated by BSA National Standards) although she can not always be there. We ask that if you have any experience as a Health Officer to please volunteer at the Health Lodge. This helps our program run smoothly. The Physical needs to be filled out COMPLETELY upon your arrival to camp. Also, to speed along your check in at the Health Lodge, we request that the Medication distribution form be filled out as well. You can obtain these forms from our website at www.trexlercamp.org or from the council office, www.minsitrails.com. Also we ask that your Scouts medications be in a Ziplock bag labeled with their name and Troop Number on it. All prescription medications will be distributed by an RN, LPN, MD, or EMT as per BSA National Standards. Medications (unless otherwise prescribed) will be distributed at the following times 7:15, 8:30, 11:45, 12:45, 4:45, 6:45, and 8:45.

MINSI TRAILS COUNCIL 36 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA A Helpful Hints Guide For Bringing Medications To Camp 1. All medications need to be in their original prescription containers with all the information on the label. The information on the prescription bottle should match the manner in which the medication is presently being administered. If there has been a change in the dosage since the prescription label was printed on the bottle, the new dosage should be documented, preferably by the doctor, with his or her signature on a prescription sheet. Then the prescription bottles should be in a Ziploc bag on which should be written the following information: the Scout’s first and last name, troop number, and campsite. Please do not send loose pills in Ziploc bags! You may send them pre-poured in daily/weekly pill compartment boxes, but he original prescription bottles with at least one sample of the medication from that container must be present. The pill box and prescription bottles should be in one Ziploc bag together and marked as noted above. 2. Please try to fill in the identity information as completely as possible on the Routine Drug Administration Record. Such as name, campsite, troop number, date of birth, etc… The area of the form where there is a space for medication names can also be filled in to expedite the check-in process. It is not necessary to fill in prescribing Physician or RX number. The area for dosage may be filled in. This form can be filled in by the parent prior to camp as much as they can. These forms will then be cross checked with the prescription bottles at Medical Check-in and any necessary corrections will be made. This is now the form that will be used to administer the medication for the Scout for the week. As per B.S.A. National Policy, prescription medication and nonprescription medicines will be held at, and administered from the Camp Health Lodge by the Camp Health Officer. ( Exceptions include any ―emergency medications‖) ** By filling out these form properly in advance as best as possible we hope to decrease the time spent at the Medical Check-in area.** MINSI TRAILS COUNCIL 37 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA Important Forms Needed For Camp MINSI TRAILS COUNCIL 38 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA C.O.P.E.

Their mission is to fulfill its purpose as an integral part of the Boy Scouts of America through positive youth leadership under the guidance of selected capable adults. Its purpose is: to recognize those scouts and scouters who have given extreme service to their unit and best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives, to promote camping and the camping spirit, to develop leaders with character, and to crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others. The OA serves as a service task force for the camps and the camping spirit. They promote both year long and residential camping through several events and organizations. They hold two annual service weekends as well as several weekends as needed at our Council’s Camps. The OA is an integral part of camping and the Boy Scouts of America. But the OA isn’t just about service. The Order of the Arrow has many events where working never takes place. The OA holds a NOAC (National Order of the Arrow Conference) every two years. For one week arrowmen from around the country invade a college campus. There are plenty of competitions and games as well as useful training. The OA offers a weekend called, a Conclave, filled with fun and fellowship, with 4 of the closest lodges in our area. Held at the host lodge’s council camp, you can meet new friends as well as participating in some really cool stuff. The OA offers their own specific high adventure programs which allow for you to participate in more programs than an average high adventure trek for a fraction of the price. These are just some of the programs available for both active youth and adults. WEDNESDAY is OA Day at camp. OA members are encouraged to show their lodge spirit by wearing OA class B t-shirts throughout the day and their OA sash when wearing the Class A uniform. WEDNESDAY EVENING the OA performs their public recognition ceremony, known as the Call-Out. Arrangements for those who will be called out should be made with the OA Summer Camp Coordinator at Sunday check-in. All Troops should attend the ceremony. Some Important Notes The contact person for the Order of the Arrow in camp is the OA Summer Camp Coordinator. Any questions may be directed towards him. To find out who is the OA Summer Camp Coordinator, talk to the Camp Director. All elections for the nomination of candidates must have taken place before summer camp. NO elections will be conducted at summer camp. Please bring a copy of your unit elections results so that any misunderstandings are avoided. If your unit is not from Minsi Trails Council, Witauchsoman Lodge #44 cannot call-out your candidates without proper authorization. You must have a signed letter from your Lodge Chief or Lodge Adviser including the names who should be recognized. This letter must be given to the Camp’s OA Summer Camp Coordinator at Sunday check in. Witauchsoman Lodge #44 merchandise is being sold in the trading post. Feel free to stop by and check out our current lodge flap and other items. Any help from arrowmen for Wednesday night’s call-out ceremony will be greatly appreciated. Whether you like making humongous fires or just enjoy adding to the fires of cheerfulness, they can always use a hand. MINSI TRAILS COUNCIL 43 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA MINSI TRAILS COUNCI, INC.
