Dear Parents,
Thank you for choosing Bashore Scout Reservation this year! I am pleased to welcome you this
summer, and will do everything in my power to make the camping experience for your son the best it can
be. Summer camp offers many opportunities for earning merit badges, rank advancement, and learning
and perfecting Scouting skills. Camp also provides opportunities for personal growth, brotherhood and
camaraderie, and connection with the outdoors. Of course, camp is also a time for fun and games, too!
At Bashore, our staff is committed to providing quality programs, valuable learning experiences, and
a fun and exciting environment. As a professional teacher, I know how important it is for youth to develop
socially and to use their skills in a practical setting. As a father of four, I know how important it is for kids
to have a safe yet welcoming environment so they can thrive and feel comfortable. And as a Scout
leader and Eagle Scout, I know how important it is for kids to learn the values of service, brotherhood,
and courtesy. It is my desire that Scouts and leaders walk away from Bashore fully satisfied and more
advanced in their Scouting paths.
This parent’s guide should give you an overview of what we have to offer here at camp. Of course,
should you have any lingering questions, feel free to contact me by email or phone (see below). Please
take the time to read through the guidebook, and also check the website (padutchbsa.org). If there’s
anything we did not address thoroughly enough, don’t hesitate to ask for clarification.
Thanks again! See you around camp!
Your Camp Director,

Ryan Stewart

GENERAL INFORMATION
Our camp has daily mail service. Incoming mail is distributed to the campsite's mailbox/folder located in
the President's Room. Outgoing mail should be deposited in the President’s Room mailbox by 10:00am.
Mail should be addressed as follows:
Bashore Scout Reservation
c/o (Scout Name, Troop #)
160 Moonshine Road
Jonestown, PA 17038-8137
Parents sending mail or postcards are reminded that anything mailed after Wednesday may not arrive in
time for their son to receive it. We will make every attempt to deliver mail, however, mail that is
undeliverable, or without a proper address will be marked "Return to Sender" after all attempts have
failed. Packages will not be returned unless sender pays for shipping.
Phones: The phone number in the camp office at Bashore Scout Reservation is (717) 865-4583 and
our Fax number is (717) 865-2793. These lines are available only for official camp business and must
be kept open for emergencies. There is no pay-phone available at Bashore Scout Reservation, due to
the increased coverage areas and popularity of cell phones.
Messages: Phone messages will be placed in the unit’s mailbox, unless marked URGENT, then all
attempts will be made to get it to the unit as soon as possible.
Cell Phone Use: In order to curb potential homesickness problems as well as lessening disruption for
the total camping experience, we strongly recommend that Scouts do not bring any cell phones or other
electronic devices to camp.
Camp Office: The camp offices are located in the President’s Room of the “Barn” which is our multipurpose building. There is an information desk in the President’s Room which is manned by a staff
member to answer phones, questions, and provide assistance, information, and forms which you may
need while in camp. This is also where Scouts and leaders can requisition Frisbees, Volleyball, and
Horseshoes to participate in some of the individual activities. The Camp Director and Program Director
office can be accessed through the President’s Room as well.
Office Hours: The office is open during all program times with the exception of meal times and siesta.
Lost and Found: Articles found should be deposited at the camp office. Unclaimed items will either be
thrown away or donated to a clothing bank at the end of the camping season. We will make every
attempt to return an item to its rightful owner. Valuable items will be locked up in the camp office; other
items will be in the lost and found box in the President's Room. Please check the lost and found before
leaving on Saturday.

2018 CAMP FEES AND DISCOUNTS
Registration Fee: $360 per Scout if paid by May 15. After that date, the fee is $380. This all-inclusive
fee is non-refundable, but is transferrable. (A $50 per-boy deposit will be due by February 15; this fee is
non-refundable, but is transferrable. This February 15 fee will be deducted from the total camp fee.)
All-Inclusive Fee: Fees at Bashore Scout Reservation are all-inclusive. This means that the camp fee
covers all program-related fees, merit badge supplies, patches, and a complimentary photo for every
camper. For instance, if a Scout takes the Woodcarving or Space Exploration merit badge, he won’t need
to pay extra for a neckerchief slide or a rocket kit. These items can be redeemed in the trading post at
the beginning of camp.
Encore Camper Discount: This is a $50 discount. Therefore, the discounted fee is $310 for those
Scouts attending more than one week of summer camp—this includes NYLT and Eagle Academy. (After
May 15th, the encore camper price is $330.) Encore camper form can be found at the end of this guide.

this policy can be found on the camp website www.padutchbsa.org/camping/bashore/summercamp.

PRE-PLANNING FOR YOUR SON’S WEEK IN CAMP
We've taken the hard part out of your pre-planning. Included in this book are some of the necessary tools
and information to equip and prepare you and your Scout for a great week at camp. Remember, this is
only an overview for you, the parent. Much of the preparation must be done by your son, along with
guidance from his Scoutmaster. But below are some things you can do to help:
 Read and become familiar with the contents of this book.
 Offer to help your son’s Scoutmaster in any way possible. Some parents shy away from
volunteering because they can’t give up a week of time to go to camp. But Scoutmasters may
need somebody to do less time-consuming tasks, like registering the Troop for merit badges, or
collecting medical forms.
 All registration fees and Friday evening meals for visitors should be pre-paid prior to arriving at
camp.
 Your Scout should have a full uniform with all the badges and patches sewn on. Any corrections
that need to be made should be done before leaving home.
 Plan an appointment for a yearly physical with your family doctor or other medical service. Fill out
the medical form that’s at the back of this guide. Be sure to fill everything out in full, including
current history, insurance, emergency contacts, and signatures. Make photocopies to turn in to
the camp. (Keep originals just in case.)
 Make sure your Scout has chosen a schedule and the merit badges he will take for his week at
summer camp. Be sure all prerequisite work is completed and ready to send to camp.
 Make sure your Scout is packed and ready to go! See the back of this guide for a suggested
packing list.

ADVANCEMENT PHILOSOPHY
Scouts and their parents may have certain expectations when they come to camp about the number of
merit badges that they should go home with and what amount of effort they will have to put into earning
the badges at camp. Some will be prepared by competing pre-requisites for items that cannot be done at
camp while others will not. Pre-planning and counseling of your Scouts will determine their success while
in camp.
Our mission is clear. We help them with requirements that can be done in camp expecting no more or no
less than the standards of Boy Scouts of America. Our reputation is at stake, but more importantly, we
have an obligation to the Scout and to all Scouts in the nation. Our obligation to the Scout is to give him
the sense of satisfaction that he earned it by meeting a standard that is recognized nationally for the
badges he works on. Our obligation to all Scouts in the nation is that we uphold the standard so that the
value of the badge, or the effort put forth for it, is the same in our camps and our council as it is in
Arizona, Maryland, or anywhere else. It has to do with honor among Scouts that our Oath and Law
require us to uphold.
Conferencing and Counseling: Prior to camp, the Scoutmaster should conduct a conference with each
Scout to determine the merit badges are needed for the next rank. From the list of merit badges available
at camp, the Scout should then select the ones he would like to earn while at camp or start while at
camp. The leader can help Scouts set realistic expectations and discourage over-programming.
How Many Badges Are Too Many? We realize that the Summer Camp experience is the best and most
convenient time to earn as many merit badges as possible. With that in mind, we have found through
experience that a Scout who tries to do too much at a time winds up with more incomplete badges and
has a frustrating and stressful week trying to please his Scoutmaster and Parents. The average Scout
should realistically be able to earn 3-5 merit badges while leaving enough time for the “extras” our
program offers… (i.e. FUN!) For First Year campers, the emphasis should be placed on the Blue
Mountain Man Program which should give him a great boost in rank advancement, and the opportunity to
earn 1-2 merit badges as well.

YOUR SCOUT'S SCHEDULE
Your Scout is probably primarily concerned with which merit badges he wants to take. In order to
guarantee success, it is important that you as the parent, along with support from the Scoutmaster,
counsel him before he makes his final merit badge decisions. If that isn’t done, you may be setting him
up for failure. Here are some things to consider when counseling your Scout:









Just because he wants the badge doesn’t mean it is the right badge for him.
Physical ability and strength need to be considered. A young Scout might not pass boating or
shooting badges.
He might be on a swim team, but can he meet the other requirements of the badge?
He might be hunter, but how large is the target he is hunting compared to the one on the range?
Can he complete the prerequisites before camp?
Can he sit still for badges that require observation time?
Has he already taken and passed the badge?
Will he be overwhelmed by taking six badges? We recommend four or five.

We have overplanned activities and programs for your son and don’t expect him to fill his schedule with
everything we have to offer. For instance, even though we offer six merit badge periods, we highly
suggest each Scout only chooses four or five merit badges. Or, we suggest that a Scout be choosy in
picking the activities we offer, keeping a balance between being busy and having some free time.
Remember, we want the Scouts to be successful at camp. Through proper counseling prior to camp you
can help to ensure that success. For first-year campers we recommend the Blue Mountain Man
program. For the older Scout, we have COPE and the Specialty Week programs. You will find more
information about both of these later in this guide.

installing new erosion bars to preserve the many trails in camp.
World Conservation Award can be earned at camp by Scouts who complete
Citizenship in the World merit badge prior to camp and two other badges that can be
done in camp. They are Environmental Science and Soil & Water Conservation or
Fish & Wildlife Management badges.
William T. Hornaday Award: The fundamental purpose of the Hornaday Awards
program is to encourage learning by the participants and to increase public awareness
about natural resource conservation. Understanding and practicing sound stewardship
of natural resources and environmental protection strengthens Scouting's emphasis
on respecting the outdoors. Ask the Nature staff for details.
Leader Lemonade Launch: On Fridays at 10:00 and 11:00, come down to the nature
lodge to watch the Scouts taking the Space Exploration merit badge as they launch
their rockets. Enjoy some complimentary lemonade, and maybe even get a chance to

STEM: You can Build It! Or you can Film It! Scouts can take advantage of the newest
addition to our science program, and take either the morning or afternoon to do
STEM projects! In Build It!, Scouts will work on engineering and technical skills. In
Film It!, Scouts will use cameras, drones, and computers to create a film. See page
28 for details on each program.

BLUE MOUNTAIN MEN
This is a top notch program for your first year campers and is highly recommended. The Blue Mountain
Man Program was developed exclusively for Bashore Scout Reservation by our staff and is constantly
under revision to keep up with the changing needs of Scouts. It is a comprehensive program of hands-on
practice, skills demonstration, and basic Scouting knowledge. Your Scouts will have the opportunity to
experience the patrol method and leadership, and be under the guidance of well qualified staff members
serving in the capacity of Troop Guides for each patrol.
This program will provide instruction and training in many of the requirements toward the ranks of
Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class. They will develop skills in swimming, camping, fire building,
knots and lashings, first aid, and many others. They will also be exposed to some climbing and rifle
shooting. Blue Mountain Men will also enjoy on overnight outpost on Wednesday night. (Be sure to bring
equipment needed for camping out, including a tent and a pack to carry your equipment. Be prepared!)
The Blue Mountain Man program has proven effective in giving first year campers a step up on their skills
and knowledge of Scouting. In addition, first year campers will have the opportunity to earn one of the
following merit badges: Art, Basketry, Leatherwork, or Mammal Study. Special recognition for
participants will take place at Friday’s closing campfire.
Blue Mountain Men will need a walking stave, and tent for the program. Walking staves may be
redeemed for free from the trading post. Tents should be brought by the Scouts (though they may share).

GREEN BAR SCOUT PROGRAM
This program addresses the needs of the those Scouts who are close to First Class and are in need of
completing only a few more requirements. Green Bar Scouts meet on Monday at 4:00 in the Blue
Mountain Man area. From there we can tailor the program to meet their needs. The staff will work with
them to develop a schedule to address the requirements needed. Scouts in this program are free to
take merit badges during periods 1 through 5, but should leave period 6 free.

19

PROGRAMS FOR OLDER SCOUTS
What about the older Scout who has taken most of the merit badges offered at Bashore? What activities
are available for him? We have some excellent programs designed to meet his needs as well.
COPE: COPE, or Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience, is designed to
challenge a Scout’s physical, mental, and emotional abilities. In doing so it
recognizes the goals of teamwork, communication, trust, leadership, decision making,
problem solving, and self-esteem. Because of the high physical demand, participants
must be 14 years of age or older to take part. COPE is also available to adult leaders
looking for the same challenges, with priority given to Scouts if the class limit is
reached. COPE is held two hours a day during periods 2 and 3.
Eagle Academy: During week 7, Bashore Scout Reservation conducts the Eagle
Academy. This program is intended for Scouts who are 14 years of age and are a
Star or Life Scout. Eagle Academy, which runs parallel to regular camp activities,
offers opportunities to Scouts to earn some Eagle-required badges: Citizenship in the
Community, Nation, and World; Personal Management; and Personal Fitness. See
page 32 for detailed information about the Academy.
Cycling Week: Get out and bike! If you have an older Scout (14+) who enjoys
mountain biking, then he should consider Cycling Week! Scouts will learn bicycle
care from experts, and will venture out on some exciting bike escapades! Scouts will
have the opportunity to work on requirements toward earning the Cycling merit
badge. Must bring your own helmet and bicycle; bringing your own bicycle tool kit is
strongly recommended. Cycling Week is held during Weeks 1 and 4.

STEM
Bashore is excited to announce the new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)
program for 2018! There will be two programs offered (see below). Contained within the program are
elements from Electronics, Inventing, Robotics, Energy, Moviemaking, Photography, and Digital
Technology merit badges. However, the merit badges are not the focus of the program. The focus is to
offer a different experience to our Scouts. The STEM programs are targeted toward older Scouts (must
be 14+) and will be limited to 12 participants per program. Each program will use either the three
morning periods, or the three afternoon periods. Badges in the STEM program are not available à la
carte. Participants should not schedule other merit badges during their STEM session. Scouts may sign
up for either the morning session or the afternoon session, but not both.
Build It! The goal of the Build It! program is for Scouts to use their engineering and
technical abilities, mixed with their creativity, to build a working robot by the end of
the week. They will also explore design aspects using various building techniques.
Scouts will work on partial elements from the following merit badges: Electronics,
Inventing, Robotics, and Energy. Build It! will be held during all 3 morning periods.
There are no prerequisites. Must be 14 years old to sign up.
Film It! Scouts will be working with cameras, computers, and drones to produce a
film each week. The intent of the Film It! program is to give Scouts the opportunity
to write, direct, produce, and perhaps some acting, all to produce a DVD of the
week’s activities. Scouts will work on partial elements from the following merit
badges: Moviemaking, Photography, and Digital Technology. Film It! will be held
during all 3 afternoon periods. No prerequisites. Must be 14 years old to sign up.

PROGRAMS BEYOND THE BADGES
Camp-Wide Challenges: Every year the camp staff works hard to bring new and
exciting challenges. This year is no exception. The challenges are designed for
patrols of 6 to 8 Scouts and also to meet the different ability levels of all. We like to
keep you in suspense as to what the games will be so … be prepared!
Chapel Services: Our chapel service, which is ecumenical in nature, will be
conducted on Thursday evening. The service will be held at the chapel, weather
permitting. We would greatly appreciate having your Troop’s Chaplain’s Aid assist the
Chaplain with readings, song leading, or prayers.
Frisbee Golf: Frisbees are available for purchase or are available at the first frisbee
golf tee (near the trading post). While you’re getting your Frisbee, also pick up a
map of our multi-point Frisbee golf course—and get a tour of the camp while teeing
off! It’s a great way to relax, and to practice your precision aim.
Horseshoes: The horseshoe pits are located on the hill across from the camp
office. Horseshoes are available next to the horseshoe pit (near the trading post).

Inter-Troop Programs: Units are encouraged to challenge each other to informal
sports contests during the week they are in camp and to organize inter-troop campfire
programs and/or cracker barrels.
The Legend of Joseph Johns: Each week includes a special night-hike to the site of
Joseph Johns' homestead located on camp property. History will come alive as we
tell the tale of thirs local legend who came to this area as a runaway slave and lived
on this property in a small wooden shack until the ripe old age of 112.
Playground Games: Check out the toy box by the pool for lots of great games.
Look for equipment for soccer, football, ultimate frisbee, kickball, or dodgeball.
Organize a match, or start a quick pickup game!
Volleyball Court: We are proud of our regulation size, lighted volleyball court.
Volleyballs are available in the toy box by the pool. The court is open on a first
come, first served basis. Bump, set, spike!

21

EAGLE ACADEMY
Once again we are proud to offer the Eagle Academy at Bashore
Scout Reservation during week 7. This program has helped
hundreds of Scouts get just a little closer to their goal of
becoming Eagle Scouts. Whether they need only 1 or 2 badges
or all 5 offered, they will benefit from this program. Due to the
requirements of the badges offered and the intensity of the
schedule Scouts attending the academy must be 14 years of age
and be a Star or Life Scout at the time of their application.
Scouts attending the academy will be placed in a provisional
Troop of other Scouts in the program. They may choose to stay
with their Troop if the Troop is in camp during week 7. Scouts will
be instructed by guest experts and some of the best in-house
counselors. Badges offered will be Citizenship in the Community,
Citizenship in the Nation, Citizenship in the World, Personal Management, and Personal Fitness. There
will also be a special session on planning and carrying out an Eagle Service Project. A list of prerequisites and a welcome letter will be sent to each applicant upon receipt of their application by the
Program Director. In order to be successful in the program participants must have the pre-requisites
completed upon arrival in camp.
There is no additional cost for this program; however, Scouts must apply for acceptance into the program
regardless of whether or not his Troop is in camp during week 7 or not. The Eagle Academy is limited to
the first 25 applicants who meet the requirements of the program. The Application with a $50 deposit
must be made by February 15th. (If space is still available after February 15, payments can be made at
the time of sign up.) See forms section for the application.
Eagle Academy participants may invite parents, family, and others to the Friday Family Night. Cost of
meals is $8 each and may be paid upon arrival in camp.

22

ORDER OF THE ARROW
Steeped in the rich traditions of the Native Americans, the Order of the Arrow recognizes campers who
best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and by such recognition causes other campers
to conduct themselves in a manner that warrants recognition.
The purpose of the Order is to develop and maintain excellent camping traditions and spirit, to promote
year-round Scout camping, and to develop the habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in
cheerful service to others. The OA is responsible for many service projects and camp improvements as
well.
All members of the Order of the Arrow are encouraged to not only wear their sash at the evening colors
ceremony, but also to Chapel, and family night. Members can also take part in the following programs:
Thursday Night Social: Held on Thursday evenings, all Arrowmen are invited to the dining hall for fun
and fellowship as they partake in a cracker barrel.
Campfire Preparation: On Monday during siesta, all Arrowmen are asked to help build the ceremonial
fire used during parent's night.
OA Call-Out Ceremony: Arrowmen are asked to help perform the weekly call-out ceremony on Friday
night. See the OA Camp Chief for details.
All unit elections should be completed prior to attending camp. At some point during the week, the unit
leader should be in contact with the Camp Chief to verify which Scouts and Scouters in camp have been
elected to be called out. Please notify the Camp Chief of any unit members who will not be at camp to
participate in the call-out ceremony. If a unit member is not present, he will still receive an invitation to the
fall ordeal weekend. Out of Council units are reminded that they must provide a letter from their home
lodge authorizing call-outs to be done in our camp.

23

TRADING POST
As a service to campers, a fully stocked
Trading Post is operated at camp. Among
the items for sale are materials and kits
needed for handicraft merit badges, books,
merit badge pamphlets, Bashore Scout
Reservation souvenirs (hats, t-shirts,
patches, sweatshirts, etc.) camping
equipment, batteries, personal hygiene
items, stamps and much, much, more. A
snack bar is available in the afternoon and
evening hours. It offers candy, snacks, ice
cream, Popsicles, hot dogs, hamburgers,
pizza, slush-puppies, soft pretzels, bottled
water and soda and many other items too
numerous to mention.
Payments: We can accept cash, Troop or personal check, or VISA and Master Card (a $5 minimum
transaction is required).
Vouchers for Merit Badge Supplies: When a Scout pays to come to summer camp at Bashore, the
cost is all-inclusive. That means that all the cost for merit badge supplies has already been covered!
After the unit leader registers his Scouts online for merit badges, the Scouts will receive vouchers for
merit badge supplies. These vouchers may be redeemed at the Trading Post. It’s best to do this on
Sunday afternoon as part of the check-in process.
How Much Money Should a Scout Bring to Camp?: Past sales trends have shown us that the
average Scout spends approximately $35-40 per week in the Trading Post. Please make sure that your
Scouts or unit are prepared by reviewing the costs of program materials, special activities, troop photos,
as well as souvenirs and snacks prior to attending camp. We recommend that unit leaders be aware of
Scouts carrying large sums of money and offer to hold it for them. This will avoid disappointment in the
event the money is misplaced, lost or stolen.
Souvenir Photos: When your troop arrives in camp on Sunday afternoon, a professional photographer
will be available to take a souvenir group photo of your troop. Each camper will receive a complimentary
8”x10” color print. Extra prints cost $8.00 and can either be pre-paid with your pre-arrival packet, or else
during the check-out process on Friday afternoon.

24

FOOD AND DINING
During your son’s week at camp, we promise to feed him like a king! We know the importance of keeping
young men fed, and we do it well. We hire a professional dietician to plan three square meals a day to
keep your son working hard and full of energy. A full-time, professional chef leads a team of cooks to
prepare the best meals at any camp around. You can rest assured that your son will be eating well while
at Bashore.
Special Dietary Needs & Restrictions: We will do our best to accommodate anyone with special
dietary needs, provided we are given adequate notice. For food allergies, please have the Scout or unit
leader ask the cook if in doubt about the preparation or contents. Please include the dietary needs form
with your Pre-Camp arrival packet (see the end of this guide).
Guest Meals: Occasionally units may have a guest or leader in camp that may stay overnight, or is just
visiting over mealtime. If the guest is taking the place of a camper who is not in camp, there is no charge
for the meals. Otherwise, the guest should pay for the meal ($8.00 per meal) at the camp office.

25

MEDICAL ISSUES
Health Lodge: The camp has a fully-equipped Health Lodge capable of providing emergency medical
treatment for our campers. This is primarily a first aid station. We can take care of the cuts, scrapes, bug
bites, and sunburn. We are also equipped with an AED and oxygen. Anything else beyond our scope of
treatment protocols will require a trip to the local ER or Camp Physician’s office. The health lodge is also
equipped with hospital style beds to allow campers a quiet place to rest in the air conditioning.
Unfortunately any camper who is either too sick or unable to stay comfortably in his own tent overnight
must return home until he is well enough to stay in camp.
Health Officer: Our Health Lodge is staffed by a fully-trained health care professional holding all
necessary credentials. In any case, they are well-versed in the latest treatments for first aid, CPR, and
follow protocols monitored by the PA Department of Health, the local Camp Physician, and the Boy
Scouts of America. The majority of the camp staff is also trained in Basic First Aid and CPR.
Injuries and Illnesses: All illnesses and injuries incurred while in camp must be reported to the Health
Officer. Staff members are prepared to give basic first aid treatment in the program areas and will call
upon the Health Officer for help if needed. Serious injuries may require the completion of an incident
report.
Exams: All campers who are in camp for more than 72 consecutive hours are required to have an up-todate health history and physical examination form on file with the Health Officer. This means Parts A, B,
and C of the medical form. We suggest you photocopy your original medical form before turning it in to
the Scoutmaster. (See the end of this guide for all three parts of the medical forms.)
Any person who arrives without a current medical form on file may not stay in camp beyond 24 hours,
and will not be permitted to take the swim test or participate in any strenuous activities. Arrangements
must be made to obtain a physical exam within that time frame or else the person must return home until
the situation is resolved. There is a local urgent care facility that offers walk-in service. The camp is not
responsible for any costs of getting a new physical, nor for making transportation arrangements.
One of the most common parts of the medical form that is overlooked is the parent signature. We often
have parents faxing, scanning, and emailing signatures in a mad dash on Sunday evening. You can
avoid this hassle by making sure the medical form is complete, including the parent signature.
Updated Information: Please keep your emergency contact person informed of your whereabouts or of
any special information that may be helpful in the event of an emergency. Please also make sure that
the person you list as the emergency contact knows that they are listed on the form. We don’t want to
surprise them if there actually is an emergency and we need to call them.
Accessibility: Most of the facilities at Bashore Scout Reservation have been upgraded over the past
several years to comply with ADA standards. Wheelchair access is available to all program areas as
well as the camp office, trading post, dining hall and shower house facilities. The pool has a chair lift as
well. Please notify the Camp Director if your son has any special needs for accessibility and we will do
our utmost to accommodate them.

SELECTED CAMP POLICIES
Pennsylvania Dutch Council camps are operated for the benefit of all registered Scouts and Scouters in
accordance with standards of the council. Rules for acceptance and participation in camp programs are
the same for everyone without regard to race, color, creed, or national origin. Every precaution is taken
to insure the safety of all campers and every effort is made to make their camp stay a pleasant and
memorable experience. Toward that end, policies and procedures have been established that pertain to
everyone in camp. Remember: The law of the camp is the Scout Law.
Bicycles: Bashore Scout Reservation is a relatively small camp, where it takes about 10-15 minutes to
walk from the furthest campsite to the furthest program area. It is generally not necessary to ride bicycles
around camp. However, though we don’t encourage bicycle usage in the main camp area, we don’t
forbid it. Scouts may bring their bikes to camp at their own risk. We ask that they use their bikes away
from other people. Of course, any one riding a bike must wear a helmet, in compliance with Pennsylvania
state law. Trailblazers who will be mountain biking are encouraged to bring their own bicycles.
Shower Houses and Restrooms: Flush toilets and hot showers are available as a convenience to
campers. Occasionally unsanitary conditions require us to temporarily close the facilities until the
responsible parties correct the situation. Shower houses are meant to supplement, not replace, the
washstands and latrines in the campsites. Shower houses are closed to campers after taps.
Firearms and Weapons: These may not be brought to camp. Only single shot bolt action 22 cal. Rifles
or Shotguns and Bows provided by the camp will be used. Only ammunition/arrows provided by the
camp can be used. Other Firearms, BB guns, Paintball Guns, Blow Guns, or weapons related to martial
arts or personal protection will be confiscated and turned over to the PA State Police for proper disposal.
Fireworks: Fireworks of any type are prohibited in camp and are against the law in the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania. Items will be confiscated and turned over to the PA State Police for proper disposal.
Fishing: Fishing is permitted in Lake Stouffer during daylight hours. PA Fish and Game Commission
laws must be observed. Fishing licenses are required for those over the age of 16. Catch and Release
method is preferred, unless the fish will be used for merit badge purposes.
Pets: Pets are not permitted in camp at any time during the camping season in compliance with the
Pennsylvania State Health and Safety Codes. This includes when parents and visitors come to camp –
they should not bring any pets with them. This policy does not pertain to pets of permanent camp
residents or service animals.
Personal Property: The Pennsylvania Dutch Council cannot be responsible for loss or damage to
personal property at camp. Scouts should be encouraged to lock their valuables in a trunk or footlocker
when they are not in use. It is recommended that campers have insurance coverage for property
brought to camp. Most homeowner's policies include provisions for this type of coverage. Report any
thefts immediately to Camp Director, Program Director or Camp Ranger.
Open-Toed Shoes: Footwear, such as sandals or flip-flops, and even “aqua socks”, are only permitted
in shower houses, and waterfront or pool areas. For your own protection, when hiking to and from these
areas, or around camp, sturdy closed-toe shoes (boots or sneakers) are required.

27

Uniforms: It is recommended that campers have and properly wear a complete Boy Scout summer
uniform while in camp. The summer uniform consists of a Scout short-sleeved shirt (khaki), Scout Shorts
(olive green), and Scout Socks. Neckerchiefs and hats are at the individual unit's preferences. This
uniform should be worn daily for the evening meal and flag ceremony, vespers, and camp-wide
campfires. At all other times, Scouts are encouraged to wear their Scouting t-shirts. Units are
encouraged to hold uniform inspections prior to camp in order to make any necessary corrections.
Please request that Scouts leave articles of clothing at home which may advertise or promote anything
that may contradict the values and ideals that Scouting is trying to teach.
Visitors: Due to the busy daily and evening programs, visits other than those provided in the weekly
camp schedule by parents, relatives, and friends are not encouraged and should be kept to a minimum.
These visits while well intentioned can greatly distract or interfere with a Scout's participation as well as
his advancement. They can also significantly contribute to homesickness which can ruin the week for
many more than one individual. All visitors, regardless of purpose or duration of stay are required to sign
in at the Camp Office and receive a wristband. If a visitor stays for any meals there will be an $8.00
charge per meal.
Insurance Coverage: All registered members of Pennsylvania Dutch Council are automatically covered
by health and accident insurance. Under the provisions of this policy, your family is covered for up to the
first $150 in medical expenses and any amount that is not covered by your family's insurance company.
(Please verify that your family’s current policy number and company information is on the medical form.)
It is the responsibility of your family or the injured person to file insurance claims. As a courtesy, the
Health Lodge staff will provide the initial forms and information required for getting treatment. Neither the
Pennsylvania Dutch Council nor the Health Officers are responsible to follow up on unpaid claims, or file
additional paperwork for follow-up treatments. Out of Council units are not covered by our policy and
must show proof of health and accident coverage. Check with your son’s Troop leaders for more
information.
Medications: If desired, the camp will hold and disperse medications. Many parents prefer
Scoutmasters to do this themselves. All medications, whether kept by the Health Lodge or the
Scoutmaster, must be kept under lock and key. Please let the Health Officer know your plan for
medications when you check in.

28

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS FOR ATTENDING CAMP
Most Scouts attend camp with their Troop. However, other options exist.
Provisional Campers: If there is a Scout in your unit who needs to beef up his advancement or is torn
between participating in the older Scout program and working on badges, this is the best solution for him.
A Scout can attend a second week of camp for a greatly discounted fee. He simply signs up at the council
office, and is assigned to a troop in camp. He will camp with them and be expected to fully participate as a
contributing member of that troop, whether in camp-wide games or assisting with chores.
This is also a good solution for those Scouts who are attending a High Adventure Base or National
Jamboree while their Troop attends camp. If the alternate event is a Council-sponsored activity, he can
sign up for a week of provisional camp that fits his schedule at the discounted rate!
First-year campers and Blue Mountain Man participants should not attend camp without their units. They
should not be provisional campers. Immaturity, homesickness, and behavior issues often arise, causing
a bad experience for the individual and the unit hosting him. Register provisional campers on Tentaroo,
and choose "provisional" as the camper type.
Encore Camper Program: This is available to any Scout or leader wishing to return for an additional
week of camp at a reduced fee ($50 off. The returning Scout may simply finish up requirements on
uncompleted merit badges, earn additional badges, or participate in any of the many specialty programs.
It is also a good way for the older Scouts to earn badges as well as participate in the older scout program
or one of the specialty programs. This is part of the “provisional camper” program (see above
information). Scouts must have attended Bashore Scout Reservation or a BSA High Adventure Base to
be eligible. Attendance at other council camps does not qualify (though Scouts from other councils who
attended Bashore this year are eligible). Register encore campers on Tentaroo and choose "encore" as
the camper type.
Older Scouts: Older Scouts have some unique opportunities to take part in special programs and even
entire weeks geared towards their needs. Older Scouts can attend the Eagle Academy or Cycling Week.
They can also participate in COPE or STEM. See page 28 for more detailed information.

52

FAMILY NIGHT
In keeping with the Council's "Open Door Policy" we
encourage your family to take advantage of the Family
Night program. Parents have the opportunity to visit the
camp, eat a meal with the troop, and attend the closing
campfire where Scouts and their units are recognized
for the accomplishments of the week. This program is
completely optional and flexible.
Meals: Family night dinner is a camp tradition on
Friday evenings. Meals are available at a cost of
$8.00 per guest (your Scout's meal is already paid for).
Unless your child is a provisional camper, meals must
be pre-ordered through your Scoutmaster no later than
at check-in time on Sunday. Due to ordering deadlines, no additional orders will be taken after that time.
Campers’ meals are included in their registration fee. Meals will be pre-packed according to unit size and
will include pre-ordered meals for family members. Meals should be picked up at the commissary
between 5:00 and 5:30pm. Visitors should plan to eat their meal in the troop site, rain or shine. You may
want to bring extra lawn chairs in case sufficient seating is unavailable. Also, parking is not permitted in
the campsites, and you will need to walk through the camp to get to the unit’s site. Please plan
accordingly.
Campfire Program: Troops will line up for campfire at 7:30pm in full uniform in front of the flagpole in the
lower meadow. If the weather is not cooperating, an announcement will be made regarding location and
changes in the program.
The Friday campfire will start off with Troops performing either a song, skit, or cheer. The campfire will
also include special unit recognition as well as special individual recognition. The evening will be topped
off with the Order of the Arrow call-out ceremony. The campfire is expected to end around 9:00,
depending on the number of units and OA Candidates in camp. Parents are welcome to go back to the
campsites of those units who have special events planned.
Overnight Visitors: Limited accommodations including a free continental breakfast are available for
parents or leaders who are helping to transport Scouts home on Saturday. There are several hotels
within a short drive from the camp as well. All parents who are not planning to stay Friday night should
leave camp no later than 10:00 pm. Scouts who wish to leave camp with their parents on Friday night
may do so only with permission of the Scoutmaster and must fill out a camper release form which can be
found in the end of this book.
Pets: Pets are not permitted in camp at any time during the camping season in compliance with the
Pennsylvania State Health and Safety Codes. This includes when parents and visitors come to camp –
they should not bring any pets with them. This policy does not pertain to pets of permanent camp
residents or service animals.

Staff Autographs
Welcome to Bashore Scout Reservation. We know
that you will have an enjoyable week as you learn
many of the skills you will need to help you advance
from Tenderfoot to 2nd Class to 1st Class. Our goal
as the Blue Mountain Man Staff is to do all we can to
help you complete as many of the requirements for
those three ranks as we can.
Some of the things you will learn this week are knot
tying and lashing, special swimming skills, fire building, knife and ax skills, and a few others. You will
also spend some time on the rifle range, have an overnighter on Wednesday, and do some Merit Badge
work.
Be sure to bring this pocket guide with you to the
Blue Mountain Man area each day. It will give you
information on what you will be doing each day and
will be used to keep track of what you have achieved.
So get ready to have fun and welcome to the Blue
Mountain Man Program.

Boating Merit Badge Knots
Leaders & Parents,
There are a number of required knots for the Rowing and Small Boat Sailing merit badges. Some of these
are common Boy Scout knots and others are more specific toward boating. In order to maximize the time
on the water we are seeking your help in teaching these knots to your Scouts. Below is a list of the
required knots with step-by-step instructions for the less common ones. We are asking that you review
these knots with those taking Rowing and Small Boat Sailing merit badges. The Scouts can then simply
show us the knots and we can get them on the water. The knots can be found in the Small Boat Sailing and
Rowin g merit badge books.

Climbing Merit Badge Knots

As part of the requirements for Climbing Merit Badge, Scouts must tie several different knots. We are asking for your help in teaching these knots
to your Scouts in order to maximize their time climbing and rappelling. On this page is a list of the required knots with step-by-step instructions.
The Scouts can simply show us the knots during the week and we can get them climbing more throughout the week. The knots can be found in the
climbing merit badge book or most knot books, and there are also great tutorial videos on YouTube.

Pennsylvania Dutch Council

Summer Camp Special Dietary Needs Form
The Pennsylvania Dutch Council, Boy Scouts of America, strives to serve its campers nutritious
meals which meet or exceed all applicable requirements and standards. The variety of foods
available at meals is usually adequate to suit the nutritional needs of most campers. In order to
meet the needs of participants who have special dietary requirements due to allergies, food
intolerances, or other health issues, as well as those who follow alternate diets for ethical or
religious reasons, it is necessary to obtain as much information as possible prior to arrival at
camp. Please be as specific as possible regarding exact nature and severity of any allergy or
intolerance. This information is necessary to determine whether the individual can simply
avoid eating certain foods, whether we need to assess all ingredients in every food, or whether
offending foods can or cannot be stored or served where they may contact the individual or
things he or she may eat. Additionally, extra time may be required to obtain special foods such
as gluten-free bread or vegan entrees. While the Pennsylvania Dutch Council attempts to
provide meals which meet these special needs as much as possible, it is still the responsibility of
the individual to avoid those foods which he or she is unable to eat. In some rare cases, it may
be necessary for the camper to bring some food items, which can then be prepared by the
camp staff.
