Leaders of all levels of Scouting have asked for years for a program where they can go to practice their outdoor/camping skills in an open session with someone to help them.

Camp Turtle provides the Scouts, Venturers, Sea Scouts and Adult Leaders from all programs a chance to learn together in a fun open session camp with knowledgeable Scout Leaders to show the way. You can earn your Turtle and beads, plus we will provide a digital copy of materials developed by the staff to help you in the future as well.

Friday evening will include an optional in-person Youth Protection Training (required of all Adult Leaders by October 1st, 2018)

Some of the Skills Fair activities will include:

• Knots & Lashings
• Axe Yard Procedures
• Map & Compass Orienteering
• Outdoor Cooking
• And much More!
• Are you interested in sharing your skill at the skills fair? Please contact John Sanders (bigowljohn.js@gmail.com) to get on the roster!

Camp Turtle is also a prime opportunity for Scouters new to Firelands Scout Reservation to tour around the beautiful property to see how it can fit into their Unit’s year-round camping plans.

Camp Turtle is a tent camping event (unless your Unit reserves a cabin here), so bring your personal tents!

Bring your camping gear, Scout Handbooks, and notepad for a weekend of open practice of Scouting Skills and learning new ways to present them to your Units!
