Extra Programs
The Scoutcraft area teaches the skills that make a Scout a Scout. Programs offered in the Scoutcraft area are designed to make Scouts and Patrols skilled in the outdoors.

Totin’ Chip & Firem’n Chit
Learn the skills to properly use and care for a knife, bow saw, and axe. This allows them to carry and properly use wood tools. Become proficient in all the safety rules of fire. Learn how to start and build different kinds of fire, prepare a safe fire area, and use fire properly.

Paul Bunyan Award
If you like axemanship this award is for you. You must hold Totin’ Chip and show your skill with a three-quarter axe. You must also teach other Scouts how to use an axe safely and complete a conservation project.

Leave No Trace
Learn to camp keeping your natural surroundings in mind. Learn the necessary tools and techniques to have a great campout while minimizing the effect on the environment. “Take only pictures leave only footprints.”

OA staffer & OA program
This year the OA staffer and OA program will be in Scoutcraft. Learn real frontier skills like trapping, fire branding, and log cabin building. Work closely with staff members with skills in tracking, hunting, and real wilderness survival like true frontiersmen. Enjoy an afternoon at Scoutcraft and travel back in time.

Afternoon Program
Each day a patrol will be assigned to the Scoutcraft area for an afternoon session. At these sessions patrols can test their skills on the orienteering course, help build a tower, cook in a Dutch oven, cool off in the power shower, or maybe work on requirements for other Scoutcraft activities. The Scoutcraft Staff is there to help the Scouts and Leaders enjoy their time at camp, so ask them about other activities that may be available for you to enjoy.
