welcome to camp workcoeman
Dear Scoutmaster,
Welcome to the 95th Anniversary summer camp season at Camp Workcoeman! Founded in 1924,
countless boys have experienced the benefits of the summer camp program at this special place with a long
tradition of a fun-filled camp program on the shore of West Hill Pond. Camp Workcoeman is one of the longest
running camps in the country to offer a summer camp experience to Scouts.
A summer camp experience at Camp Workcoeman will make your Scout troop grow. It is here that the
Scouts advance and grow in confidence and skills.
In 2009, a camp study report evaluating the camping programs in Connecticut Rivers Council was
compiled by “The Camp Doctor, Inc.” The following are statements from the report:
“Good traditional Scout camping needs to survive, for this is where real Scout camping happens...
The basic Boy Scout program at Camp Workcoeman was the best of the council’s camps.”
At Camp Workcoeman, our task is to work side-by-side with you to tailor a program that best fits your
troop. The staff is ready for this challenge. Once again, many of the old familiar staff veterans will be returning
along with new, energetic characters. Many of which come from troops like yours!
Now is the time your troop should begin the process of planning for summer camp. Besides this program
guide, the camp website, campworkcoeman.org, can assist you in finding information about programs, camp
arrival procedures, staff contact email addresses and all related camp forms. Comments from leaders about the
web site indicate that it is easy to navigate and provides a wealth of information.
This year’s theme will be “Out of this World!” With the renewed interest in space exploration, the
Voyager probes leaving the Solar system, new martian landers, SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic,
the Pluto flyby, and interstellar asteroids, this summer we celebrate some of mankind’s greatest
accomplishments and the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing. July 20, 2019 marks the 50th
anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s historic landing. Beyond NASA, 2019 sees the release
of the final installment of the latest Star Wars trilogy and a variety of other “Out of this World” related
movies and television shows.
Please contact us if you have any questions or special requests with your summer camp plans. We are here
to help you prepare for a summer camp experience second to none.

Camp Workcoeman
is located on beautiful West Hill Pond in New
Hartford, Connecticut. Established in 1924, it is one of the oldest continuously operated
Scout camps in the country. For 95 years, thousands of Scouts and Scouters have had
unforgettable Scouting experiences at Camp Workcoeman. This fine tradition of
Scouting continues today.
The Camp Workcoeman Staff
is chosen by a Camp Director with
39 years experience. The staff is highly skilled and trained with all key staff trained by
the Boy Scouts of America at their National Camping Schools. Camp Workcoeman’s
veteran staff has a positive impact on a quality program.
The Summer Camp Program at Camp Workcoeman
contains valuable opportunities for skill instruction, advancement and FUN and is available to every troop and
Scout. The quality of your troop’s summer camp experience rests with you, the Scoutmaster, and your troop’s
junior leadership. Use this program guide to learn about camp procedures and policies. You will then be able to
inform all Scouts and parents. You and your Scouts can collectively select from among the many program
opportuities that meet the needs of your troop.
Troop Leadership in Camp
The National Council of the Boy Scouts of America requires that
each troop must have at least two adult Scouters in camp at all times. As of January 2019, a minimum of two
Scouters must be 21 years of age or older. All adults must have completed Youth Protection Training. These Scouters stay at camp free of charge. The cost of any additional adults is determined by the number of Scouts in your
troop at camp. The following table indicates the cost of additional adults.

Pre-camp information
Pre-Camp Program Planning
Two pre-camp planning meetings are scheduled for your troop leadership to meet with key members of the camp
staff and develop a program that meets your needs. Your CAMP SCOUTMASTER and SENIOR PATROL LEADER are
encouraged to attend ONE of these meetings. You will also be given information regarding camp policies, medical forms and related health information, as well as procedures for your Sunday arrival and check-in. A visit to your
campsite is possible with a Camp Commissioner.
2019 Camp orientation meetings are scheduled for:
Saturday, May 11
or
Saturday, May 18
both beginning at 1:30 PM
in the Camp Workcoeman
Dining Hall.
An additional planning meeting will take place
in Long Island:
Saturday, April 27th at 10:00 AM
St. Reymond School
263 Atlantic Ave.
East Rockaway, NY
Troop Activity and Merit Badge Sign-up
Your troop should sign up for merit badges and troop activities prior to camp. This will be done
online using a fillable Google Form for which the appropriate links will be emailed to troop
contacts following each program planning meeting. Link information can also be found on the
Camp Workcoeman website or by emailing the Program Director at tleisten@campworkcoeman.org.
Merit badge selections should be submitted online at least three weeks prior to your
week at camp. The Program Director will be in contact to verify receipt of selections and work with
you in regards to any necessary program changes. A list of merit badge offerings can be found on
pages 14-21 of this guide.
Troop activity requests should be submitted online at least three weeks prior to your
week at camp. We will develop a schedule for your troop from the requested activities. Please understand that we will make every effort to schedule your desired troop activities. Some activities are
in high demand and we want to be fair to everyone. Suggested activities can be found on page 25
of this guide. A blank schedule to begin planning your troop’s week can be found on page 33.
Staff resources are allocated based on sign-ups done ahead of time.
As a result, some programs might not be available without pre-camp sign-ups.

Fire Safety
Campfires are permitted ONLY in the fire pit in your campsite and should never be left unattended.
Proper methods to extinguish fires should be available at all times. When the fire is out cold, stack partially burnt wood
near the pit for future use. Disposing of cold ash should be done regularly. This can be arranged through the Commissioners or the Scoutcraft staff. Trees are not to be cut down.
Dining Hall Conduct All meals are served family style and use the host system. Every table in the din-
ing hall should have at least one Scouter sitting with the Scouts. Scouters ensure proper table manners, safety and
Scout-like behavior.
Troop Leader Assistance Troop leaders hold a wealth of information and are a great source of assistance to the staff. You are asked to share your talents in a particular program area. Please complete the Adult Resource
Form in the “Camp Forms” section of this guide and return it to the Program Director.
Commissioner Service -
“Your Source For Help at Camp” The Camp
Workcoeman Commissioners are here for any assistance to your troop while at camp. Program changes,
campsite needs & repairs, as well as any special requirements are all ways that we can make your stay at
camp as best it can be. Each morning before reveille, the Commissioners will visit your campsite to bring
coffee and deliver your daily copy of the “Chief Tunxis Times.”
Daily Campsite Visitations A Scout is Clean. While your Scouts are at morning merit badge sessions,
the Commissioners will visit your campsite. A colored feather will be placed in the tent that is best arranged and tidiest.
The top three scores will be announced during lunch in the dining hall. A sample visitation rating sheet will be distributed at the Sunday afternoon leaders meeting. The Commissioners will visit with leaders to address any health and safety
concerns and will be looking for top notch, clean campsites.

the merit badge program
The Merit Badge program at Camp Workcoeman is extensive and includes approximately 45 badges spread over
three morning sessions and an afternoon period.
Troops are requested to complete merit badge selections prior to arriving at camp through a fillable Google
Form that will be emailed to troop contacts in May. Troop leadership will be able to complete merit badge registration for each Scout, or Scouts will be able to complete the information themselves. Please make sure your
merit badge selections are submitted at least three weeks prior to your arrival at camp. The Program Director will be in contact with any necessary information and program changes.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
• It is suggested that Scouts who have not attained the First Class rank utilize the “Tenderfoot’s Compass Pro-
gram.” Included in the Tenderfoot’s Compass curriculum is Swimming Merit Badge, which will take place during
the 11:15 merit badge time. Earning Swimming Merit Badge opens the door to many challenging aquatic opportunities for Scouts.
• A limit of 3 merit badges is recommended for Scouts, especially if difficult badges are being considered. If the
advancement load of a Scout is too heavy, an otherwise fun week becomes one of disappointment.
• Advancement is one of eight methods of Scouting. **Don’t overload advancement at the expense of patrol and
troop activities.**
• Scouts should follow the buddy system for merit badge selection and are encouraged to sign-up with troop
buddies.
PRE-CAMP PREPARATIONS
• Some merit badges offered at camp may have prerequisites, while others require double time sessions for
completion at camp. The information in the following pages details the times at which merit badges are offered
as well as information that should be considered when making merit badge selections.
• The merit badge counselors have identified activities appropriate for Scouts with different experience levels and
listed necessary prerequisite merit badge requirements that cannot be completed at camp. Please be advised
that the list of prerequisites may be incomplete as a result of requirements changing between the publication of
this guide and the summer camp season. Scoutmasters and Scouts should review badge requirements ahead of
time to make sure each Scout is signed up for ability appropriate merit badges and comes to camp with necessary materials.
• Please see the appendix for merit badge specific prerequisite requirement sign-off sheets. These forms should
be completed to ensure Scouts are given credit for work that must be done outside of camp.
• We want Scouts to have an enjoyable time at camp and come away from the week with a feeling of accomplishment having earned merit badges towards which they have worked. The Workcoeman counselors encourage
you to use your experience as a Scoutmaster to guide your unit towards a successful and fun week at camp!

COPE is a national program of the Boy Scouts of America which stands for
“Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience”.
The program consists of initiative games, trust events and low and high challenge course events.

skills and agility. Participants climb, swing, balance, jump, rappel and devise solutions to a variety of
problems. Most participants achieve much more than they imagined they could.

2019 camp theme
Camp Workcoeman is Out of this World!
With the renewed interest in space exploration, the Voyager probes leaving the Solar system, new martian landers, SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, the Pluto flyby,
and interstellar asteroids, this summer we celebrate some
of mankind’s greatest accomplishments and the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing.
July 20, 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s historic landing. Beyond NASA,
2019 sees the release of the final installment of
the latest Star Wars trilogy and a variety of
other “Out of this World” related movies and
television shows.
2019 Theme Days
Your Scouts can participate in the fun with
skits, songs, and activities this summer as we
aim to bring alive the history and achievements of space exploration along with aliens,
Star Wars, Star Trek, and any other means in
which pop culture has enhanced the excitement of the beyond.
This is a fun way to enhance your week at camp. Come to morning colors dressed up for the day! An entirely frivolous way to have
some fun and bond with your fellow Scouts. Participation is always
optional and does not impact Spirit Stick or Class “A” points.
Troop Shirt Monday _ Start the week showing off your troop
pride. Wear what you’ve got to show what sets your troop or patrol aside from everyone else.
Your troop can further participate by decorating your campsite, creating space suits,
imagining what aliens might be like, and
anything else to welcome the spirit of space
adventure at Workcoeman.
Color Wars Wednesday _ As a troop, pick a color and have everyone dress head-to-toe. See if your troop and outdo the others.
There are those that say Space is the final
frontier. For Workcoeman, Frontier is the final
space in camp.
Thematic Thursday _ Participate in this year’s theme by dressing
for space - aliens, astronauts, Sport or Darth Vader - let your imagination go wild.
Knee Sock Tuesday _ Get those knee socks on!
Workcoeman Shirt Friday _ What better way to show you’ve had
a great time at camp during the week than wearing a camp t-shirt!

teach specific skills like backpacking or caving, but rather instructs participants in planning
and contingency preparation. This training can be arranged by request in the Sturge
Shields Campcraft Area.
“Leave no Trace”
Outdoor Ethics
The Leave No Trace program instills in Scouts and Scouters an outdoor ethic that encourages
responsible use of the outdoors, an ethic that reaches to the core mission of the Boy Scouts
of America. Camp Workcoeman offers both BSA Leave No Trace 101 and BSA Outdoor Ethics
Orientation. These programs are best for individual patrols or a Patrol Leaders’ Council, but
we can tailor a program to suit specific goal or groups of varying experience, ranging from
a single activity session to a Leave No Trace Overnight. This training can be arranged by
request in the Sturge Shields Campcraft Area.
IOLS
Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills

advance in order to arrange for staff.
Interested participants MUST register IN ADVANCE with the program director.
