This summer, come for the fun in the sun or on the range while developing teaching and presentation skills, time management, leadership, and teamwork.

Campers who attend the Aquatics Specialty Camp will improve their aquatic skills by learning how to safely organize unit swim and float trips, work on all Aquatics Merit Badges, and become BSA Lifeguard Certified. Adults may attend the Aquatics Specialty Camp only and will receive training as BSA Lifeguards. The courses provide a challenging fun activity for Scouts, Leaders, strengthens Unit capabilities, and will provide the councils' Summer Camp with a pipeline for Aquatics Staff. Camper/Adult Leader participant for Aquatics Camp is $225.00.

Home, Home on the Range will be the motto of those Scouts who opt for the Shooting Sports section of Specialty Camp Week! They will work on all the Shooting Merit Badges as well as some friendly competition after qualification is completed. Currently there is no program for Adult Leaders in the Shooting Sports Specialty Area. We are pleased to offer two different program sections at the Range this week. The first will be for first time Shooting Sports Specialty participants. The other will be geared toward those who attended last year. The camper fee for Shooting Sports Specialty Camp is $250.00.

This week at camp will operate like no other with housing in the air-conditioned Staff Cabins. Specialty Camp Week is limited to 30 participants in the Aquatics section and 16 participants in the Shooting Sports section. This week is restricted to those who have completed two years of Summer Camp (and yes 2012 & 2013 qualify) or have completed the eighth grade or are 14 years of age. Adults who attend Specialty Camp Week to ensure two-deep leadership will pay $50 for food costs. Scouts may only sign up for either Aquatics or Shooting Sports, but not both!

WELCOME TO GARLAND SCOUT RANCH The 1600 acres of Garland Scout Ranch, nestled in the woodlands of Northwest Louisiana, invites your Scouts to join us for one or more of our weekly 2013 Summer Camp sessions. Our program areas include: Aquatics, Outdoor Skills, Nature, Shooting Sports, Handicraft, Trail to First Class (TFC)—our first year Scout skills class, and our Star to Eagle (STEP) Program. These programs along with activities designed for all scouts and leaders offer something for just about everyone.

Campsite Selection Policy

Garland Scout Ranch maintains ten campsites (A, B, F [handicap accessible], C, J, K, UU, V, T, & X; please note that Campsites K & UU are bring your own tent sites) for use by units during the Summer Camp season. Each site has electricity and a covered pavilion. All are near hot showers and flush toilets. Early campsite reservation will improve your chance of being assigned the campsite of your choice. Campsites will be shared if no one unit will fill the campsite to capacity. A $100.00 reservation fee will hold a campsite for a unit.

Camp Policy and Services

> Scouts and Scouters alike will be expected to exemplify the Scout Oath and Law while in Camp. > Please arrange for qualified leadership from your unit to accompany the Scouts to Camp to meet the Guide to Safe Scouting. Each unit must have a 21 year old Registered Leader present at camp. A second Leader, above the age of 18, is also required to be in camp with your unit. If Your Troop’s leadership is not available for Summer Camp, please consider sending your Scouts as Wranglers. > ABSOLUTELY NO VEHICLES IN CAMPSITES AFTER REGISTRATION IS FINSIHED—NO EXCEPTIONS—THIS IS A NATIONAL BSA POLICY! After camp set up is complete, all vehicles must be parked in the Dog Trot or Hallett Building Parking Lots. Unit trailers may remain in the campsite. A Summer Camp Staff member, called a Campsite Host, will accompany each unit during check-in. >The speed limit on all camp roads is 15 mph at all times. > Your Units' safety is our biggest concern. All guests/visitors must check-in at the Camp Office in the Administration Building (Wasner Scout Center). Scouts who, for any reason, are leaving camp property must have a permission slip signed by the parent and must also sign out at the Camp Office in the Administration Building—parents will be asked for identification! All Unit Leaders leaving camp must sign out at the Administration Building. > Possession or use of any alcoholic beverage, illegal drugs, or the misuse of prescription drugs is expressly prohibited. Anyone found in violation of this will be asked to leave camp property and reported to the local law enforcement agency. Use of tobacco products is limited to adults and to designated areas. > Anyone injured or who becomes ill should report to the Medical Station at the Wasner Scout Center for treatment. For injuries requiring treatment by a doctor or Emergency Room, Unit Leaders and the Camp Director will provide transportation. In case of serious medical emergency, an ambulance will be called. > Garland Scout Ranch has an official telephone at the Dining Hail and the Camp Office. These phones are used for business purposes only, therefore all phone calls to/from these phones must be restricted to those of an emergency nature. Please advise parents that Scouts are not near the phones, and that only messages will be taken for the Scout. Only in case of extreme emergency will a Scout be called to the phone. > Our menu is reviewed by a licensed Dietician, prepared by professional cooks, is wholesome, and well-balanced. If someone in your Unit has food allergies, please advise us upon check-in so that alternate foods can be made available. Garland uses the Host / Waiter system for table setting and clean-up. Shorts (not bathing suits) and closed-toe shoes are required at each meal. The complete field uniform (class A) is required for the evening meal. > The Garland Scout Ranch Trading Post is a fully stocked camp store.

Merit Badge class sessions last seventy-five minutes with fifteen minutes in-between to travel to the next class. >Attendance to class does not guarantee completion of any badge. Unforeseen circumstances, such as inclement weather, may result in incomplete coursework. >Most Merit Badges can be completed in a week at Garland; however, some have certain requirements that cannot be completed at camp. Also, some merit badges require a special skill or have pre-requisites. >Classes are limited in size for safety and quality of instruction. >Pre-camp requirements and size limitations are listed on the following pages. ***Please also be aware of an additional $10.00 to $20.00 fee for Bugle, Motor Boating, Space Exploration, all Handicraft, and all Shooting Sports Merit Badges/Programs.

Trail to First Class

Baden-Powell This hallmark program is designed for new Scouts—those coming to resident camp for the

very first time and working on their Tenderfoot through First Class requirements. This is the ideal

experience for the novice, designed to deliver a hands on experience of the Patrol Method.

Participants in the program begin with the history of Scouting, the origin of Scout Spirit, and the

concept of participatory citizenship. Outdoor fundamentals--camping, outdoor cooking, safe-hiking,

map & compass, and rope work are stressed throughout the week. Scouts are also given

introductory modules in First Aid, Nature, fire-tending and knife-skills.

Please note that this is merely an introductory course in the essentials of Scouting, even active

participation in the curriculum will not create a First Class Scout in one week's time. It will be up to the

Scout’s home Unit and Scoutmaster to fully achieve this lofty goal because there is so much to learn! This

is a half day program, either all morning (9:00am to 11:45am) or all afternoon (1:30pm until 4:15pm), with a

well-structured overnight experience on Thursday night of each week. The other half of the day will be

spent taking merit badges—usually First Aid and Swimming. TFC classes will be held in the Fort Dan

Beard Program Area found on the GSR Map.

BSA Medical form

Medical Form Located on Following Pages

Annual Health and Medical Record(Valid for 12 calendar months)

Policy on Use of the Annual Health and Medical RecordIn order to provide better care for its members and to assist them in better understanding their own physical capabilities, the Boy Scouts of America recommends that everyone who participates in a Scouting event have an annual medical evaluation by a certified and licensed health-care provider—a physician (MD or DO), nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. Providing your medical information on this four-part form will help ensure you meet the minimum standards for participation in various activities. Note that unit leaders must always protect the privacy of unit participants by protecting their medical information.

Parts A and B are to be completed at least annually by participants in all Scouting events. This health history, parental/guardian informed consent and hold harmless/release agreement, and talent release statement is to be completed by the participant and parents/guardians.

Part C is the physical exam that is required for participants in any event that exceeds 72 consecutive hours, for all high-adventure base participants, or when the nature of the activity is strenuous and demanding. Service projects or work weekends may fit this description. Part C is to be completed and signed by a certified and licensed heath-care provider—physician (MD or DO), nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. It is important to note that the height/weight limits must be strictly adhered to when the event will take the unit more than 30 minutes away from an emergency vehicle–accessible roadway, or when the program requires it, such as backpacking trips, high-adventure activities, and conservation projects in remote areas. See the FAQs for when this does not apply.

Part D is required to be reviewed by all participants of a high-adventure program at one of the national high- adventure bases and shared with the examining health-care provider before completing Part C.

• Philmont Scout Ranch. Participants and guests for Philmont activities that are conducted with limitedaccess to the backcountry, including most Philmont Training Center conferences and family programs,will not require completion of Part C. However, participants should review Part D to understand potentialrisks inherent at 6,700 feet in elevation in a dry Southwest environment. Please review specific registrationinformation for the activity or event.

• Northern Tier National High Adventure Base.

• Florida National High Adventure Sea Base. The PADI medical form is also required if scuba divingat this base.

Risk FactorsBased on the vast experience of the medical community, the BSA has identified the following risk factors that may limit your participation in various outdoor adventures.

For more information on medical risk factors, visit Scouting Safely on www.scouting.org.

PrescriptionsThe taking of prescription medication is the responsibility of the individual taking the medication and/or that individual’s parent or guardian. A leader, after obtaining all the necessary information, can agree to accept the responsibility of making sure a youth takes the necessary medication at the appropriate time, but BSA does not mandate or necessarily encourage the leader to do so. Also, if state laws are more limiting, they must be followed.

Adult Leaders at Garland Scout Ranch

Dear Adult Leader,

Thank you for choosing GSR! The Staff of Garland Scout Ranch certainly recognizes the hard work and sacrifices that Adult Leaders must endure to bring their Troops to Summer Camp. We want you to know how much we appreciate all of your efforts and dedication.

A week spent at Garland is also rewarding if you choose to take advantage of our fine Adult Training. We offer CPR, Paddle Craft Safety, Safe Swim Defense, Safety Afloat, Leave No Trace, and Trek Safely seminars. Although certainly not mandatory, we do encourage all Leaders to take advantage of these courses held at the Hallet Building.

In addition, there might be Leaders in your Troop with experience and expertise in some of the merit badges we offer at Garland. We welcome any help your Leaders or older Scouts could offer. You might even have a special talent and would like to teach a course not offered. We would be glad to arrange this with you in advance.

Finally, we would welcome any further suggestions you might have in these areas, and we would like to offer a special service to every Leader that attends GSR. We would be happy to send a thank you letter to your employer for letting you take time off to attend Summer Camp, just supply us with the appropriate contact information. Please take a few moments to fill out the form below for each of your leaders. Send to:
