Show More Ranger Camp...
This camp is a week long High Adventure expedition designed to challenge today’s adventure bound Scouts and Venturers, male and female. This is the only camp of its kind in the country that encompasses climbing, rappelling, and a view of what it takes to be an U.S. Army Ranger. Ranger Camp is sponsored by the Northeast Georgia Council, BSA and the U.S. Army 5th Ranger Training Battalion. Your adventure begins at the U.S. Army Ranger Mountaineering School and progresses to the beautiful northeast Georgia Mountains. Ranger Camp is a leadership and team building exercise and results in an experience that is healthy, fun and a pure rush of excitement. Show Less Ranger Camp...

This initiative is designed to help Scouts earn their way to a Summer/Day Camp program. Unlike previous programs
that focused on unit sales, the goal of this effort is to enable our slogan of "Every Scout in Camp".

Earn the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award
April 6 by Andy
Tiger Cubs, Wolf and Bear Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts have the opportunity to earn the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award. Boys may earn the
award in each of the program years as long as the requirements are completed each year. The first time the award is earned, the boy will
receive the pocket flap award, which is to be worn on the right pocket flap of the uniform shirt. Each successive time the award is earned,
a wolf track pin may be added to the flap. Leaders should encourage boys to build on skills and experiences from previous years when working
on the award for a successive year. See www.scouting.org
for more information.
